Last thing on striker’s mind

“Obviously, with the week before being disappointing, last week was good and we need to get back to winning ways in the league because we want a push until the end of the season.

“To be honest, when we went three up against Queens, the score probably flattered us a bit.

“We had three chances and we took them and sometimes you get games like that. And it was a good win at a difficult place. They’ve got their new manager and he’s given them a lift and Dumfries is never an easy place to go, so it has to give us a boost.

“Now it’s Morton and we are looking for a win to keep our home form going.

“We are unbeaten at Tannadice and we want that to continue for as long as possible.”

After losing to the ’Ton in the League Cup in September, in the Championship United have beaten them at Tannadice and drawn down at Cappielow.

Now Murray is looking to make it seven points from nine.

“The last game down at Morton was a good game even though it finished 0-0. We had a few chances that day and should have won the game, but they played well, too.

“The last time we played them here we kind of dominated them to be honest. On the bigger pitch at Tannadice we did well, so we will be looking to do the same again.”

— starting with a win against Morton tomorrow — will go a long way to securing his future at Tannadice.
