United and Saints unhappy at Easter switch
Tayside rivals Dundee United and St Johnstone are complaining to the SPL over the decision to switch their clash next month to Easter Monday afternoon (writes Tom Duthie).
The pair are now due to meet in front of the ESPN cameras at McDiarmid Park, with a 4 pm kick-off and, while such fixtures are traditional down south, in Scotland they are long since a thing of the past.

The move has not gone down well with the fans and both clubs have received numerous complaints. As a result, they will be making their concerns known to top-flight headquarters in Glasgow, though, right now, a switch back to the previous Saturday seems unlikely.
