"St Mirren's interim manager Craig McLeish did not attempt to play down the importance of Saturday's home match against Kilmarnock after defeat in Dundee meant his side dropped into the relegation play-off spot with just three games to go."
"Kilmarnock's emphatic 3-0 win against United lifted the team out of the play-off spot for the first time since 14 December, when a 2-1 defeat in Aberdeen not only dropped the team to 11th place but also proved to be Stuart Kettlewell's last match as manager."
"Adding a sixth on Saturday would open up a four-point gap with two games to play and make the Ayrshire outfit odds-on to avoid the play-off."
