Dundee United’s fixture pile-up worsens with St Mirren match postponement

Dundee United’s fixture crisis has deepened, with the home match against St Mirren the latest game to be postponed.

The Tangerines were due to play the runaway league leaders at Tannadice on Friday night but the match was called off this morning.

That news followed the cancellation of Tuesday night’s scheduled home clash with Queen of the South, which also fell victim to the “beast from the east.”

It all leaves United manager Csaba Laszlo and his players facing a horrific fixture pile-up.

They are now left looking for two extra dates in an already congested calendar.

This month they are due to play Brechin at Glebe Park on the 10th, Queen of the South away on the 13^th, Inverness at home on the 17^th, host Dunfermline on the 24^th, go up to Inverness on the 27^th, then travel to Greenock to play Morton on the 31^st.

In April, their scheduled reads: Dumbarton at home on the 3^rd, the Sons away on the 7^th, Falkirk at Tannadice on the 14^th, Queens at Palmerston on the 21^st and Livingston at home on the 28^th.

United officials are understood to be working away to resolve the fixture crisis and there could be some new dates announced later today.
