Episode Details

The Courier reports that Will Ferry missed Saturday’s one-nil win over Hibs after picking up a knock during United’s Portugal camp, with Jim Goodwin praising Kevin Ciubotaru’s two strong performances in his place as evidence of the squad’s depth.

United are now sixth in the Premiership after Sunday’s fixtures. St Johnstone moved above them on goal difference with a one-nil win at Aberdeen. Josh Fowler scored a fourteenth-minute penalty, and goalkeeper Toby Steward made several important saves as Saints earned their first away victory of the season. The sides meet at McDiarmid Park on Saturday, level on eleven points from eight matches. Dundee sit two points ahead of both in fourth.

In the Women’s game, United are away to Hamilton at New Douglas Park on Sunday. Kick-off is at half past two.

Loan Watch. Scott Constable was sent off after nine minutes of Arbroath’s two-one home defeat to Greenock Morton on Saturday. His fellow United loanee Charlie Dewar was credited with an own goal in the fiftieth minute and went off in the sixty-third. In the same league, Owen Stirton started for Ayr United and was replaced after seventy-seven minutes in their one-all draw with Dunfermline, where Samuel Cleall-Harding started in defence.

Elsewhere, Football Italia reports that former United winger Amar Fatah scored his first Lecce goal with a second-half header, although Bologna won the Serie A match two-one.
