MONTROSE CUP-TIE IN DOUBT

Manager Alex Smith was unhappy to learn of the likelihood that his squad will again be idle from competitive action this coming weekend. Scottish Cup Third Round opponents Keith or Montrose have yet to settle their replay due to the weather, and it now appears highly unlikely that game will go ahead this weekend.

In such circumstances United's first competitive game after the midweek break would be the city derby meeting with Dundee at Dens Park on Wednesday week.
