United eyeing Liveston return

Dundee United are keen to bring Graeme Liveston back to the club as part of the shakeup of their youth set-up being carried out by club legend Paul Sturrock.

Sturrock is now working as a first-team scout and adviser to the club and is looking to bring former Scotland schools team manager Liveston back to Tannadice.

Former United manager Craig Levein ended Liveston’s first time in charge back in 2009 and he has been working as head of youth development and scouting at Alloa since 2012.

Sturrock is also keen to bring Raith Rovers’ first team coach and under-20 manager Craig Easton into United’s youth academy and has started moves to make that happen.

The Tangerines, who confirmed yesterday that Jamie Robson had signed a new deal and that Scott Fraser would be leaving the club, are being linked with Ross County frontman Craig Curran, who scored 10 times for the Staggies as they were relegated from the top flight.
