| The Tangerines were keen to see several of their fringe men get a run, but plummeting overnight temperatures put paid to that prospect.
“It’s disappointing, because there are a few of the lads who could have done with a game,” said coach Paul Hegarty, filling in for boss Peter Houston, who is on Scotland duty.
The hard ground also forced United to abandon plans to train at their St Andrews base and, instead, the players were limited to working in the gym or doing some running on the track at Tannadice.
Meanwhile, Paul was delighted that Andy Webster appears to have shaken off his calf injury.
The defender, who missed the weekend win over Falkirk, is currently on duty with the international side.
“The fact we’ve had no news otherwise has to be positive and, hopefully, Andy will be involved against the Czech Republic tomorrow night.” |
