Hard work key
Dundee United hit double figures in their undefeated run with a 2-0 win over Hibs at Tannadice last night, but, today, manager Craig Levein was playing everything low-key (writes John Brown).
“It was good to get the win and to keep our run going, but the important thing is that we keep our feet on the ground and continue to work hard,” he said.

“We have a lot of good players in the team and a lot of skill, but so have many other teams in this league.

“The important thing for my players is that they keep working hard. Our ‘success’, if you want to call it that, is built on really hard work.”

Craig’s thoughts are now focused on extending their unbeaten run further when they visit Kilmarnock on Saturday.

“It’s Kilmarnock and Kilmarnock only in our thoughts. We don’t want to take our eye off the ball by thinking of any other games coming up.”

Dundee United will appoint chief executive Stephen Thompson as the club’s new chairman at tomorrow’s board meeting, replacing his late father Eddie.

His mother Cath will take on the role of vice-chairwoman.

BBC will show live coverage of United’s Co-operative Cup semi-final tie with Celtic at Hampden on Wednesday, January 28 (KO 7.45).
