Wilkie woe for United
20 Oct 2006 - 12:58:38
Dundee United defender Lee Wilkie will not make his debut against Aberdeen on Saturday after picking up a groin injury.
The 26-year-old was expected to make his bow against the Dons after returning from a cruciate ligament injury.
But the Scotland international, who has made several successful reserve team appearances on trial at Tannadice, picked up a groin problem in training and will not be risked.
Meanwhile, United boss Craig Brewster has refused to be drawn into a touchline argument with his Aberdeen counterpart Jimmy Calderwood.
The Dons boss has been critical of Brewster's record at the helm of the Tannadice club, but the United chief dismissed the comments as little more than mischief making.
"Jimmy does try and wind you up a bit in the other dug-out but I'm usually too focused on the game," he said.
"I've got a lot of time for him but this is a game we really want to win."
