MANAGER DEMANDS COMMITMENT

Following United's third successive 0-3 league defeat, Manager Paul Hegarty is demanding that his playing squad return to the same drive and commitment that they demonstrated when he first took over. "The players are now fighting for their livelihoods and they must find the level that they achieved when we were beating Kilmarnock and Motherwell and taking Celtic very close." Paul is particularly looking for his senior players to stand up be counted. He feels too much pressure has been placed on the young players in the team and wants his more experienced men to help them during this difficult period.
