Dev League: Dundee United 4 Kilmarnock 0

Playing their second match in two days at their St Andrews Training HQ, a much changed and younger Tangerines outfit, in the end, ran out comfortable winners against the Rugby Parkers. By Peter Rundo Indeed, only Jamie Robson was retained from the team that defeated St Johnstone 48 hours earlier. United got off to the perfect start, Aaron Duke squeezing home a Gav Ritchie cross from eight yards with less than two minutes gone. The visitors responded well to going behind with Chris Johnson just back from injury particularly prominent. With 15 minutes gone, it took a fine save from United keeper Josh Donaldson to keep out his angled effort. Ten minutes later Donaldson again came to the rescue to block a Scott McLean shot when he was through on the keeper. However, in a rare foray upfield, Logan Chalmers smashed a 30-yarder into the postage stamp top corner to double the lead just before the half hour mark. Five minutes later, the visitors were three down, Duke getting his second when he headed home a pinpoint cross from Graham Taylor. Nine minutes after the restart, Chalmers claimed his double with a shot from 12-yards which took a slight deflection. To illustrate it wasn’t Killie’s day, Lewis Morrison could hardly believe how Donaldson managed to keep out his snap shot with an instinctive one-handed save. Dundee United: Donaldson, Ritchie, Robson, Allardice, Reekie, McNaughton, Murrell, Davie, Duke (Johnson 80), Chalmers, Taylor (Trialist 60). Subs not used: Booth, Sukar, M Smith, Ballantyne, Tumilty.
