Dundee United's teenage defender Keith Watson has been told not to have surgery on his injured knee.

Watson, who suffered the injury during the warm-up before the game against Celtic in March, has seen a specialist who has advised him that an operation should be avoided if possible.

Terrors boss Craig Levein told the Dundee Courier: "The surgeon wants Keith to have one more attempt at rehabilitation because it's difficult to achieve 100 per cent success from an op.

"Surgery would be the last resort for him, according to the specialist."
