UNITED TO CONSIDER OPTIONS

In a statement made today, Malcolm Brown, spokesperson for Dundee United said: "We are disappointed that Falkirk Football Club did not allow us the opportunity to get into proper negotiations with Ian McCall despite two approaches from United's Chairman Eddie Thompson to Falkirk's Chairman."

"We will now turn our attentions to all options and avenues available to us in our search for our new manager".

"Paul Hegarty and his coaching staff will continue to look after team matters."
