time because we’ve had a lot of games recently and maybe the wee rest has done me good. But I’m raring to go for the rest of the season.”
In McMullan’s absence, United were not at their best against Brechin and, even though they edged a 1-0 win last weekend, there was a feeling of disappointment in the dressing-room.
After the final whistle, though, McMullan was quick to point out it could have been a vital result.
“Every game is important. You don’t know how tight it’s going to be at the end of the season.
“It could be one point that decides things, so you have to take the chance whenever you can take points and get as many as you can.
“Thankfully, the boys got the points last Saturday, that’s what mattered.”
Now the focus is on tomorrow’s trip to St Mirren and trying to go into the international break on the back of a perfect league record.
To do that United will need to overcome a Buddies side that have been tipped by many as dark horses for promotion. McMullan understands why.
“St Mirren finished the season really well last year and got a very good win last Saturday.
“This has the makings of a very good game and, hopefully, we can play better than maybe we did last weekend.
“It would be great to keep the winning run going. If you offered us going in we’d start with four wins, we’d have taken that.
“That’s what we’re aiming for now. It doesn’t matter whether it’s 1-0 wins or 5-1, four wins out of four would be great.”
