Dale Hilson available for cup tie

Dick Campbell could not hide his delight when Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara confirmed to him last night that he has no objection to on loan Dale Hilson turning out for the ‘Loons’ in Saturday’s cup tie with East Fife.

Dale has been in excellent form in recent weeks and was of course the scorer of the Station Park side’s equaliser at Ochilview on Saturday past.
