Dundee United release the handbrake and Dee demand top dollar

United host rock-bottom Livingston ahead of their bottom-six campaign – and Jim Goodwin has promised attacking football.  

We posit how the Tangerines can take the handbrake off against opposition lower in the table – something Goodwin’s charges have struggled with, especially at Tannadice.  

Could we see a debut for goalkeeper Ruairidh Adams, who might or might not be slightly shorter than your average keeper, during the run-in following injury to Ashley Maynard-Brewer?  

The likes of Owen Stirton, Sam Cleall-Harding and Scott Constable could also be pushing for action.  

Alan has a Zac Sapsford prediction, while the panel pay tribute to newly retired ex-United ace Barry Douglas.  

Across the road, Dundee travel to Rugby Park knowing one simple truth: win and Premiership safety is all-but secured.  

However, it’ll be a testing task against a side boasting four wins from their last five matches – and showing real signs of life under ex-Dens Park boss Neil McCann. 

We discuss how Steven Pressley will cope with the possible absence of Tony Yogane, the definite absence of Ryan Astley and ponder whether scourge of Killie, Ash Hay, should get the nod ahead of Simon Murray.  

There’s also talk of what price tag Luke Graham should command and, with Rangers’ interest in the player increasingly obvious, where his future may lie.  

This weekend’s action is previewed by The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton, Dundee United writer Alan Temple and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.
