Dundee United were held to a 1-1 draw by Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday. The result means United remain in sixth place in the league standings with seven points from their opening six matches.
The single point from the Falkirk clash keeps Dundee United in the middle of the Premiership pack. Their record now stands at two wins, one draw, and three losses from six games. They have scored seven goals and conceded six, giving them a narrow positive goal difference of one. However, the gap to the summit is significant, with the Tangerines currently eight points behind leaders Celtic.
Jim Goodwin's side must now regroup ahead of their next league assignment. They are scheduled to host St Mirren at Tannadice on Boxing Day, December 26th. That promises to be a tough test against a Saints side sitting third in the table. The extended break before that fixture offers a chance to work on the training ground and for players to recover.

The squad continues to deal with an injury absence. Young midfielder Miller Thomson remains sidelined, which limits the manager's options in the middle of the park. His return will be a welcome boost for the squad depth as the season progresses. The latest team news and injury updates are always available on our dedicated injuries page.
