The Courier reports that Jim Goodwin sees United’s free weekend as a possible blessing in disguise. The manager says a few players are playing through pain, so the break gives the squad recovery time before a run of eleven fixtures. Goodwin also describes returning Mehdi Merghem as a different type of winger from United’s other options.
On Saturday’s opponents, Motherwell’s official report says they ended a seven-game wait for a win by beating St Mirren one-nil at Fir Park. Lukas Fadinger scored an eighty-second-minute penalty. The club says Paul McGinn returned to the bench for the first time since May, while Oscar Priestman and Callum Hendry came on after injury spells. The result leaves Motherwell four points behind United.
On international duty, the Moldovan federation has called Iurie Iovu into its group for the final two Nations League matches. Moldova host Kazakhstan on the thirteenth of November, then visit the Faroe Islands three days later.
Loan Watch. Charlie Dewar and Scott Constable both started for Arbroath as they lost four-nil at home to Raith Rovers. Arbroath conceded three of the goals before half-time.
