Gunning For Success

Perter Houston used his powers of persuasion to get his man Dundee United have persuaded Republic of Ireland Under-21 defender Gavin Gunning to move to Tannadice from Blackburn.  His arrival will enhance manager Peter Houston's options in defence after Scott Severin's triple leg break last week. Gunning, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Motherwell, has signed a three-year contract, subject to international clearance. Houston said: "I am thrilled to capture Gavin's signature. He is exactly the type of player we try to bring to Dundee United - he is young, athletic and hungry. He can play either left-back or central defence and having seen his performances last season I know he can do a job in the SPL. It was important that we moved to bring a central defender to the club and to get someone of Gavin's calibre is particularly exciting."
