NEXT UP: QUEEN OF THE SOUTH (A)

With the latest international break finished the first team return to competitive action this weekend when we make the long journey to Queen of the South.

Palmerston has been a happy hunting ground for United in recent years - with five victories out of our last six league visits to Dumfries - and the first-team are keen to build on those stats as we look to maintain our place at the top of the Ladbrokes Championship.

The international break has proved useful for allowing key first team players to recover from injuries, with Nicky Clark and Jamie Robson looking likely to return for Saturday's match.

One man who wasn't slowing down, however, was Lawrence Shankland. The prolific striker was away with the Scotland National Team as he made the step-up to international duty.

Shankland featured in both matches for Steve Clarke's side as he earned his first two senior international caps. He made his debut as a half-time substitute away to Russia, before marking his first Scotland start with a goal against San Marino at Hampden on Sunday night to keep him in fine goalscoring form heading into the weekend.
