The Courier reports that Lyall Cameron is doing extra work every day to build his fitness after a stop-start spell, with Saturday’s draw at St Johnstone his first full ninety minutes for United.

The National reports that Jim Goodwin described United as the Premiership’s youngest squad and believes the players will keep improving. United are four matches unbeaten, although he remains frustrated that dominant spells against Falkirk and St Johnstone did not become victories.

On Aberdeen, Stephen Robinson says Kevin Nisbet scored against St Mirren despite missing training last week with a hamstring issue. The Press and Journal reports that Brad Lyons went off with a possible recurrence of a knee problem, while substitute Ayoub Mouloua’s goal gave Robinson food for thought ahead of Saturday’s visit to Tannadice.

Away from the current squad, former United teammates Duncan Ferguson and Gary Bollan have taken charge at Glentoran as manager and assistant. Ferguson has signed a multi-year contract and says he wants to build an attacking team capable of winning trophies.

The Courier reports that Dylan Tait has set playing for Scotland as his ultimate ambition after a strong start at United. Captaining the side with Ross Graham out, he described the role as an honour for him and his family, and praised the football intelligence of Lyall Cameron and Zidane Iqbal.

Supporters who spoke to BBC Sport after Saturday’s draw at St Johnstone liked United’s possession and attacking play, but felt too many chances went begging. Several said a proven striker is what would turn those performances into wins.

Aberdeen visit Tannadice at three o’clock on Saturday. The Press and Journal reports that Dons left-back Nesta Guinness-Walker calls a top six finish the club’s aspiration. Aberdeen are one point behind United after beating St Mirren three-one.

In the Women’s game, United drew nil-nil away to Hamilton yesterday. The point leaves them seventh in SWPL Two, with nine points from eight matches.

Their next game is at home to Gartcairn next Sunday, the twenty-fifth of October, with kick-off at half past three at Foundation Park.

Dundee United came from behind to draw one-all with St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park. Josh Fowler put Saints ahead in the twenty-first minute. Lyall Cameron levelled eleven minutes from time, turning Jesse Randall’s cut-back into the top corner. The point keeps United sixth, level with fifth-placed St Johnstone on twelve points.

United began brightly and sent several dangerous deliveries across the St Johnstone goal without finding a finishing touch. Fowler then punished an avoidable defensive sequence to give the home side the lead. United increased the speed of their play after the break. Cameron forced a save before scoring, while Zidane Iqbal, Zac Sapsford and Neil Farrugia all had late opportunities as United pushed for a winner. The Courier reports that St Johnstone boss Simo Valakari says Josh Fowler came off at half-time through illness, not injury.

Jim Goodwin believes United were the better team over the full match. He was disappointed by the goal conceded, saying the defence failed to track the initial overlapping run and then moved into positions it did not need to take. Goodwin praised the second-half reaction and felt United dominated that period. His main frustration was the lack of calmness, composure and better decisions in the final third.

Cameron also described the afternoon as frustrating despite rescuing a point. He said United created enough opportunities to win and felt they did not score early enough to build momentum. The midfielder explained that he has been working on arriving near the edge of the area for cut-backs, which produced the equaliser. He then had another late chance saved as United searched for all three points.

Next up, Aberdeen visit Tannadice at three o’clock on Saturday. The Dons recovered from last weekend’s home defeat by St Johnstone to beat St Mirren three-one at Pittodrie yesterday. Aberdeen are seventh in the table on eleven points, one behind United.

In the Women’s game, Dundee United are away to Hamilton in SWPL Two today. Kick-off at New Douglas Park is at half past two.

Loan Watch. Sky Sports’ live report says Ruairidh Adams was forced off injured before half-time as Airdrieonians lost two-one at home to Hamilton. No diagnosis has been confirmed.
