OPTIONS INCREASED AS BETO COMES BACK

9th January 2001

Argentinian striker Beto Naveda is ready to provide boss Alex Smith with frontline options when action gets underway following the winter break.

A twisted knee, suffered in the televised SPL fixture against Rangers at Tannadice in mid-December, forced the South American to sit out the vital games against Hearts, Celtic, Hibs and Motherwell. That means that he has yet to pair up with recent capture Derek Lilley, whose partnership with recalled Jim Hamilton has shown up well of late.
