© David Young/Action Plus/Shutters Talented Dundee United kid Lewis Neilson has joined Falkirk on loan for the remainder of the season. Much has been made of the talented crop of youngsters coming through at Dundee United right now – and with good reason. We’ve already seen what many of them can do at first team level for the Terrors this season. Heading out on loan to the lower leagues will be a different experience from pulling on a tangerine jersey in the Premiership but one which will undoubtedly benefit them in the long run. At Montrose, Chris Mochrie is at one of the best – and b...

by Lee Wilkie © PA Dundee United No 1 Benjamin Siegrist made a number of good stops against Celtic on Sunday. 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.

© SNS Group Seventeen points behind leaders Hearts, eight above bottom side Alloa Athletic – Dundee’s stop-start season leaves them in a fight for second place and a shot at the play-offs. More than once this campaign, the Dark Blues have shot themselves in the foot and thrown away points that looked in the bag. Games against rivals Dunfermline and Raith Rovers immediately spring to mind at Dens Park. All four goals conceded in those two key clashes came directly from set-pieces. So, is defending a dead ball the Achilles’ heel that’s killed off Dundee’s title charge this season?
