A CENTURY FOR SCOTT MCMANN

Scott McMann racked up his 100th United appearance on Tuesday in our 1-0 victory over Greenock Morton.

And it is a measure of his consistency that the full-back has rung up the ton in a little under three years on Tayside, dawning the shirt more than any other in our current complement.

That is particularly true this season - in which both of his United goals have come - where he has been an ever-present and he can hardly believe just how quickly his time at Tannadice has passed. “It feels like yesterday I signed and I have enjoyed every minute of it”, he reflected. Even better was that he celebrated his landmark appearance with a win in such a vital victory over the Greenock side which could be vital as United seek straight promotion.

He revealed, “With the exception of the few games I played just before signing for United after Accies had been relegated, almost all the games I played in were in the top flight and getting back there is the aim.” Being the sole survivor of last season’s back four, Scott has thoroughly enjoyed being part of the meanest defence in the Championship. “We have been pretty solid, though of late, maybe not as tight as we have been, so keeping a clean sheet on Tuesday and getting the win made it a terrific night for me on making my one-hundredth appearance. Hopefully, we can kick on now and get the promotion that everyone desperately wants.”
