I’ve played with some very good goalkeepers down the years but, I must admit, I’m jealous of Dundee United’s backline having the Swiss wall, Benjamin Siegrist, behind them. It was a joy to play in front of the likes of Lukasz Zaluska and Rab Douglas – most of the time – but Siegrist has got it all. It’s not possible to defend every phase of play. Everyone has to rely ...

Updated: December 12, 2020, 9:51 am © SNS Group Traditionally full-backs may not have been expected to weigh in on the goal front. However, times have changed and that’s certainly something Dundee right-back Christie Elliott is determined to bring at Dens Park.

He may only have one goal to his name this t...
