SCOTLAND MUST WAIT FOR PERMIT
Dundee United will have to wait a while longer for confirmation that striker Jason Scotland will be getting a new work permit (writes Tom Duthie).
Scotland’s application for renewal was automatically turned down because he had not played enough games over the last year, but the Tangerines were confident that one would be granted when they appeared at an appeal hearing at Hampden on Thursday.

Today, however, Work Permits UK — the government body responsible for overseas workers — contacted United to say the hearing could not take place as scheduled and a new date is now being awaited.

Meanwhile, following confirmation of the signing of Lee Miller from Bristol City over the weekend, boss Gordon Chisholm’s attention is likely to turn to finding an experienced goalkeeper to compete with Tony Bullock next term.
