Listen to live coverage on Sportsound Dundee United move six points clear of seventh-placed St Mirren with victory over County Don Cowie's side remain four points behind sixth-placed Hearts Luca Stephenson and Alex Samuel miss clear cut chances in a goalless first-half Ross Graham gives United victory with back-post header Dundee United all but secured a top-six finish after a scrappy 1-0 win at Ross County. Defender Ross Graham headed in the winner from a second-half corner to earn Jim Goodwin's side their first league victory in eight matches. Both sides traded chances in the first half with United's Luca Stephenson and County's Alex Samuel each passing up big opportunities to open the scoring. After a tight opening 73 minutes, the visitors eventually took the lead. Graham, who had just missed a near-identical opportunity five minutes prior, outmuscled County defender Jonathan Tomkinson to get his head on Strain's fine delivery and fire United in front. The visitors then enjoyed a period of sustained pressure in which Louis Moult and Sam Dalby came close, but were denied a second by a combination of strong defending and goalkeeping. Goodwin's side are now six points clear of the bottom six with two games until the league splits. County really had to take something from this one if they wanted to keep their hopes of a top-six finish alive. Don Cowie's side host Aberdeen and visit St Mirren before the split, and now need maximum points and a number of other results to go in their favour. Their attention must turn to avoiding the drop, particularly that dreaded relegation play-off spot in which they've finished the past two seasons. They are four points clear of Dundee in 11th and 11 clear of bottom spot. Strap in County fans, it's that time of the season again. Dundee United were winless in seven league matches heading into this one, desperate for a win to banish any worries of slipping outside the top six. And they got what they needed. Top six is now pretty much guaranteed and Goodwin's men can focus on aiming for a return to European football. They occupy fifth spot in the Premiership table, two points off Aberdeen in fourth and three points behind Hibernian in third. Don't get your passports out just yet but you better make sure they are in date!
