The Courier reports that Jim Goodwin regards Michael Forbes as one of the Premiership’s strongest defenders by the numbers. Forbes needed several stitches at half-time against Aberdeen and still completed the match. Goodwin says the partnership between Forbes and Bert Esselink is the reason Ross Graham and Iurie Iovu cannot currently get into the side. United’s own report also noted that Forbes played on with stitches and a bandage.
Next up, United visit Celtic on Wednesday. Celtic came from behind to win two-one at Hibernian yesterday, restoring their four-point lead at the top of the Premiership. Camilo Durán scored the winner and reached ten goals for the season. Celtic manager Martin O’Neill says Alistair Johnston will be assessed after the defender was forced off only twenty minutes into his return from injury.
Loan Watch. Charlie Dewar played the full match in defence as Arbroath lost one-nil at Livingston to a stoppage-time Ryan McGowan goal. Matthew Mudie also completed ninety minutes and was booked as Spartans beat Lochee United two-one to reach the Scottish Cup third round.
