SAINTS TIE DELIGHTS SMITH

27th September 2001

Alex Smith was delighted to hear on Thursday that United's reward for their CIS Cup win over Dumbarton will be a home tie against Taysde rivals St Johnstone the week after next.

"It's good to get a home tie and it has all the makings of a very good game -I'd expect both sets of fans to turn up in numbers,'' he said.

Of course, before that one comes around there is the matter of Saturday's SPL visit to Tynecastle to meet Hearts and the gaffer was happy to report he has no fresh injury worries for that one.
