United doubled their lead five minutes before the break when Darren Dods headed home from close-range after Paul Dixon had curled a corner into the six-yard box. Craig Levein's side made the game safe three minutes later when Jon Daly headed home Sean Dillon's cross. Teenager Johnny Russell made it 4-0 ten minutes after the break when he scored from the penalty spot after he was brought down by Craig Tully.
