No dwelling Tangerines
HARRY Lewis says there’s no time for Dundee United to dwell on last week’s setback at Livingston as they look to get back on track tomorrow against Inverness.
The Tangerines welcome Caley Thistle to Tannadice this weekend looking to keep pace with leaders St Mirren by following up the opening-day victory in the Highlands with another win.
