With just one Under-21 game, against Motherwell, taking place between now and February, Alex Smith has said he will consider loaning out some of his younger personnel in order to keep them match fit.
The Manager took similar action shortly after arriving at the Club in August when Blair Sturrock was loaned to Brechin City for an initial period of six weeks and in doing so joined his Tannadice team-mate Jonathan McKeith who is currently on loan at Glebe Park until the end of the season.
