UNITED PAIR ‘50-50’
Dundee United hope to have Mark Wilson and new boy Karim Kerkar available for selection when Aberdeen visit Tannadice a week tomorrow (writes Graeme Finnan).
Wilson has been suffering from a groin injury and was forced to pull out of Rainer Bonhof’s Scotland U/21 team which lost 3-1 to Spain last night.

Kerkar, who put pen to paper on a short-term deal earlier this week, has a thigh strain picked up at previous club Clyde.

However, boss Ian McCall is optimistic both will be fit when Jimmy Calderwood’s high-flying Dons make the trip down the east coast for next Saturday’s SPL fixture.

“Mark and Karim have been on the treatment table,” said Ian.

“Both have been responding well and, at this point, I’d say their chances of facing Aberdeen are 50-50.”

With no fixture tomorrow, the United manager will watch former club Falkirk take on Partick Thistle at Firhill.

DUNDEE and Livingston have agreed to cut prices for their forthcoming CIS Insurance Cup match at Almondvale.

The game takes place on Tuesday, September 21 (KO 7.45), and adults can gain entry for £12, with concessions £7.
