Uche Ikpeazu headed St Johnstone to a 1-0 victory at Ross County to hand them a second successive win to start the William Hill Championship season.
Last weekend’s hat-trick hero Josh McPake squandered an early chance to give the visitors the lead after good work by Stevie Mallan and Adama Sidibeh, and McPake was unable to pick out a team-mate with his cross after finding space with 13 minutes gone.
