Caretaker boss Laurie Ellis is set to be given the chance to show he’s the man to lead Dundee United on a permanent basis.

The Tangerines’ assistant boss has been put in interim charge following yesterday’s sacking of Csaba Laszlo.

He’s expected to lead the team into Saturday’s clash with Championship leaders Ayr United at Somerset Park.

And the 38-year-old could be given more games to show he should have the job on a permanent basis.
