Anxious wait for Jim Goodwin after another video nasty against Dundee United

Jim Goodwin faces an anxious wait to see if he will be punished for a blatant elbow into the face of Dundee United youngster Aidan Connolly.

The Tangerines teenager was running alongside the St Mirren player as the ball was running out for a goalkick to the Buddies.

Unprovoked, Goodwin pulled his elbow back and struck Connolly, who fell to the floor.

No action was taken against the controversial Irishman, who had been booked earlier in the match.

However, the damning video evidence may still be used against him by the SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan.

Last season, Goodwin was handed a two-game ban after Dundee United released their own video footage of him elbowing Stuart Armstrong during a match in Paisley.

There is no suggestion the club plans to do the same this time.
