And it turned out to be stodgy fare indeed. This was the last warm-up match before next weekend's Scottish Communities League Cup final, and although Danny Lennon's side hardly signed off with all guns blazing, they at least made it through their last 90-minute run-out largely unscathed. Lennon took off, first, Steven Thompson and then Paul McGowan midway through the second half to ensure both would be fit for Hampden, but must have had his heart in his mouth two minutes from time when John McGinn was the victim of a late, rash challenge from Dundee United's John Rankin.
