Utd kid Glass shooting for the top on loan with familiar faces at Cove

DUNDEE United kid Declan Glass says he’ll always back his shooting ability after netting two screamers for loan club Cove Rangers.

His second with the final kick of the ball secured a 3-2 League Two win over Cowdenbeath for the Balmoral Stadium outfit on Saturday.

It was another standout performance from the 19-year-old, who has made a habit of scoring wonder goals for Paul Hartley’s team, and his goals from outside the area against the Blue Brazil were all the more impressive as they were taken with different feet.

The attacking midfielder, who missed from close range before his two second-half strikes, said: “Missing that wasn’t great but to score the two others makes up for it.

“It’s unbelievable. The first one was right (foot) and the second one was left.

“I trust myself and I heard a couple of shouts of ‘pass’ but it was never going to happen.

“I was always going to strike it at the goal and, thankfully, it went in.”

Glass had already been joined by United teammate Matty Smith at Cove.

However, ex-Tannadice skipper Fraser Fyvie signed on a short-term deal ahead of Saturday’s game.

FA and Scottish Cup-winner Fyvie insisted Glass had always shown his quality in training, and the youngster is happy he’s now revealing what he can do in matches.

Glass said: “I was with Fyvie for two years at United seeing him every day.

“He’s right, in training I would always have a go and try to beat people.

“It came off once or twice but in training no one sees it. It’s different in a game.

“It’s brilliant.”

Declan Glass scores the winner for Cove Rangers.
