Tangerines looking to advance

Dundee United are looking to defeat visitors Dunfermline Athletic and progress into the knockout stages of the Betfred League Cup this afternoon.

The Championship duo are contesting a best runners-up place behind group leaders Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who yesterday thrashed Arbroath 7-0.

Midfielder Scott Fraser appears ready to return for the hosts and defender Paul Dixon is making progress on his knee injury.

“We’ll decide then if he [Dixon] can make it for Sunday but the main thing is he’s making a bit of progress,” manager Ray McKinnon told the Dundee Courier. “It’s looking encouraging. I don’t think he’s done anything serious.”
