Dundee United striker Jon Daly is hoping to feature against Hearts this weekend, having been sidelined since April by a serious knee injury.

The 24-year-old Irishman was an unused sub for the 1-0 win over Motherwell two weeks ago and hopes to be called on by head coach Craig Levein this time around.

He told The Courier: "Things are going well for me. I've had no reaction in the knee at all. It's just a case of trying to get the sharpness and match fitness back.

"I think I'm ready to come on and do a job for 20-30 minutes, then see where we go from there after getting a few more reserve games under my belt.

"As well as rupturing the posterior cruciate ligament, I tore a cartilage.

"I've not had the cartilage seen too because I've not had a reaction from it and hopefully I'll get away with that completely.

"But if it does need doing it'll only mean a couple of weeks out and, with a bit of luck, I could leave that until next summer."
