| Consecutive wins against Aberdeen, Airdrie (in the Co-Op Cup), Hearts and Inverness Caley have banished the Tangerines’ early-season stutters and propelled them up to third in the SPL table.
And, although Saturday’s international card sees domestic fixtures take a back seat, Craig is hopeful momentum won’t be affected when his team try to make it five in a row against Rangers at Ibrox the following week.
He said, “It’s very difficult to say if the break may or may not affect the team.
“But we do have quite a few foreign players at the club and it gives them a chance to go home and see their families.
“I’m not too sure when the next break will be, but I think the next international game is in March and we won’t be having too many days off between now and then, so this is a good opportunity for the lads to get home.”
Meanwhile, Garry Kenneth, is hoping to get to the root of a nagging knee problem.
“Garry had a scan on his knee yesterday and we are expecting to get the results by the end of today or tomorrow,” added the manager.
United’s game against Rangers at Tannadice on Saturday, December 13, will kick-off at 12.30 and will be screened live by Setanta. |
