Ricky's report of the Dundee Utd game is now available.


Terry Butcher's post-match comments were as follows:
"That's the worst we've played in six games and we've won. It was nowhere near the levels we have hit; that's how bizarre football is.  It's a really big relief to get the three points.  It wasn't a classic by any stretch of the imagination but we deserved the points."  They could easily have let their heads go down and felt sorry for themselves but they didn't, and they produced a performance that was very effective. I kept faith with the same team because I felt they were doing a lot of positive things."

Two-goal hero Richie Foran added:
"Football's a funny game, it can be a horrible game sometimes.  We thought we'd played well in the last five games. Today we were average but luckily Dundee United were a bit below average so we capitalised on that.  You wonder when it's going to come but we've got great belief at this club and the gaffer gives us great belief."

Foran has been converted into a wide midfielder by TB after playing as a striker earlier in his career, but the Irishman added:
"I don't mind at all, I'll play anywhere. I told the gaffer if he played me up front I'd get 20 goals but he just laughed at me and walked off.  No, I don't mind who scores as long as the team win and we get into that top six.  We've got seven games left, four away and three at home and some very tough games away from home.  Hopefully we can pick up some points on the road but you've got to win every home game. If we don't win home games then we're giving ourselves a big, big problem."
