NEW STRIKER LINED UP

As they completed their preparations for the home clash with Dunfermline on Saturday, Dundee United were working towards another new signing on Friday. Manager Alex Smith revealed he had agreed terms with another Scottish club for a player who he said could add to the attacking options available to him. "It would not be proper to name the player at the moment, but there is a chance we will have him for tomorrow," said Alex.

Definitely added to the squad will be fit-again skipper Jason de Vos and, as expected, teenage winger Sean O'Connor as a reward for his recent fine form in the Under-21s.
