In-form shot-stopper Mark Birighitti spoke to the broadcast media ahead of Sunday’s crunch clash with Rangers, our first home match of 2023.
Birighitti, who has three clean sheets in his last five appearances for the Terrors, highlighted the determination within the squad to secure a positive result from Sunday's game.
“The team is full of confidence; we’ve had three really good results and we’ll be going into the game on Sunday full of confidence."
The prospect of heading into the match as underdogs doesn't faze the Australian, as he continued; “I strongly believe in this playing group. There is enough quality in this squad to beat any team on any given day.
“We go into every game wanting to win, regardless of whether we play Celtic, Rangers or Livingston. It's just another game for us but a tough challenge.”
The 31-year-old also re-affirmed the influence United fans can have on the occasion, with a crowd of more than 10,000 expected at Tannadice on Sunday.
“These are the games that you want to play in. We all know that they’ve got good players in their team, but what a way to play in front of our home crowd. I’m sure there will be a big turn out.
“We are not scared of anyone, we are full of confidence and we are going to go out on Sunday wanting to win by playing our style of football to excite the fans.”
