MATCH REPORT | A PROMOTION PARTY AT TANNADICE
4th May 2024
Ronnie O'Brien's bad luck has struck again. The loan signing from Juventus was expected to make his United debut at Livingston on Saturday but has been ruled out after a training mishap.
The highly-rated 22-year-old, whose hopes of facing Kilmarnock two weeks ago were dashed when international clearance failed to come through in time, picked up a leg knock in an accidental clash with team-mate Derek Lilley.
"It's a nightmare for the boy, but we are at least hopeful he will be able to play for the under-21s against Aberdeen on Monday," revealed boss Alex Smith.
Also ruled out of the Livi trip are Jamie Fullarton, who has now consulted a specialist over his groin problem, and Jim Paterson. His throat infection has not completely cleared, so he will not be risked.
