A native of Ireland who has resided in Dundee for twenty years, Andy is currently a chaplain working within the nightclubs in Dundee and joins up at Tannadice to offer a chaplain service to all staff, on and off the pitch.

Chaplaincy services are very popular within sporting organisations nationally and in appointing their own club chaplain, Dundee United hope to establish another dimension to the strong relationship which exists between the Club's employees at all levels.



Operations Director Gibby Haggart said: "Chaplaincy brings a personal touch to the support service within the club. Football clubs can be a pressurised environment and Andy will provide an independent ear. He will be on hand to give good, confidential advice on any range of matters. He will be available to offer support, befriend employees and help keep a sense of perspective in what is a high intensity profession."



Chaplain Andy Burns said: "I was delighted to accept the offer to become Dundee United's Club chaplain. It will be a steep learning curve for everyone but I'm sure it's going to be fun and I'm really looking forward to it all.

"I want to be around the Club, get involved, become a friendly face and give people support in every possible way. I see my role as being a listening ear and a caring heart who is always available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for players and other staff should they feel the need to talk."]]> http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=2&nid=4111 http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=2&nid=4111 Thu, 2 Feb 2012 11:25:25 GMT
"David Healy has started to score goals for them and Steven Davis looked excellent against Hibs, so this is still a very tough game for us.

"We've had good games against Rangers at Ibrox in recent times, but a Cup tie is different. It's a game where you just go and try to win the match and that's what we'll be doing.

"We'll give Rangers all the respect they're due because, like I said, they are a good team with good players, but one thing we won't have is fear and I always say that each time we go there.

"It's all about our belief and making sure we approach the game the right way and it's all about trying to stay in the cup, because it's a wonderful competition to try and win. We've had a couple of decent runs in it in recent years and we just want to continue that."

Meanwhile, United end tickets remain on sale from the ticket office in Tannadice Street until 1pm on Saturday. Kick-off on Sunday is 12.15pm.

"What he has to concentrate on is maintaining his performances and, remember, it's only a couple of months ago that I was saying that Johnny's inconsistency was why I wanted to take him out of the team, so that shows he still has a way to go before he's the finished article.

"I've said before, in 18 months or whatever, I think Johnny should be looking to be along the same lines as David Goodwillie and, if he does that, then good luck to him.

"What Johnny has to add to his game is the amount of goals Goodwillie was capable of scoring, if he's going to be the central striker.

"Right now, we've got one striker (Jon Daly) scoring double figures in the league and, hopefully, we can get Johnny going on and getting double figures as well.

"I'm glad the window is shut and no one else has gone because we cannot afford to see players go," continued the Manager.

"We've had a small squad all season and we lost Scotty Allan and Lauri Dalla Valle as well but we did manage to bring two in during the window because that's when Richie Ryan could start playing — and now we've got Milos Lacny, too."

Meanwhile, Danny Swanson is doubtful for the weekend having suffered a slight recurrence of the recent knee trouble in the closed-door clash with Falkirk last week: "Swanny's touch and go. They say an injection should have him training again in a couple of days and we'll see how he goes."]]>
