A St Mirren fan appeared to be thinking more carefully about his plans after avoiding a group of stewards on Wednesday.
The Scottish Premier League side recorded a handy 2-0 win over Dundee at the SMiSA Stadium, with Mikael Mandron and Toyosi Olusanya on the scoresheet for Stephen Robinson’s team.
Kick-off for the match was delayed by 30 minutes as the Dundee team bus became stuck in traffic, with supporters reportedly only learning the news 15 minutes before the scheduled start time.
While waiting for kick-off, while the stadium was quiet, a section of the home fans suddenly stood up and moved to the front of one of the stands, apparently angry with the visiting supporters.
While the majority were cut off by stewards, one supporter did get through. But not for long; they will return on their own.

It is reported that the reason for the anger was that the away fans had stolen a St Mirren flag before kick-off.
Footage filmed from the spur in the ground showed around twenty home fans walking to the bottom of the stairs, apparently in an attempt to reach the away fans.
Four stewards could be seen pushing their way through and preventing the supporters from doing so.
As a couple crossed the barrier, one evaded the stewards and appeared to have a free run at the away fans, with one steward half-trying to stop them before giving up.
When the supporter, who had his face covered, turned to see who had joined them, they were disappointed to find they were alone.
Stephen Robinson’s side won the match 2–0 when the match finally got underway, strengthening their position in fifth place in the Scottish Premiership.
You could see them as they turned and walked back into the stands, pushing through the stewards to get back behind the barrier.
The fan was mocked by the away fans for their actions, although the home side had the last laugh on the pitch, widening the gap in the rankings between themselves and their opponents.
