O’BRIEN CLEARANCE DELAYED

There was some disappointment at Tannadice when Irishman Ronnie O'Brien's international clearance failed to come through in time for him to face Killie yesterday. The delay is not expected to be protracted and United were hopeful of securing his services for Monday evening's Under-21 visit to St Mirren. Also heading for St. Mirren Park is former Buddie Jamie Fullarton who was recovered from groin trouble and has been pencilled in to make his return at the ground he made his name.
