| As well as dealing with two postponements before the game went ahead at short notice, United have witnessed growing CIS Cup Final fever every time they’ve reported for training.
While the rush for Hampden tickets has been a pleasant distraction, Craig knows it could have affected his men. That it didn’t and they beat Gretna 3-0 left him delighted.
“The boys stayed focused and played very well last night,” he said.
“Even the fact I gave the likes of Lee Wilkie and Mark Kerr a break didn’t turn out to be a problem.”
The only problem Craig is likely to have if this kind of form is repeated against Celtic on Wednesday, is who is left out for the CIS Final.
“It’s great to see the players who came in respond the way they did. There is competition for places.
“There are ideas I want to work on and I’m determined to give us the best possible chance of winning the cup.” |
