Dundee Utd v Kilmarnock preview

Dundee United begin life post Craig Levein on Boxing Day as they host Kilmarnock at Tannadice.

United's first match after Levein departure

Dundee United begin life post Craig Levein on Boxing Day as they host Kilmarnock at Tannadice. Levein took charge of Scotland this week, leaving his former assistant Peter Houston as caretaker boss. Houston will have a couple of decisions to make ahead of the clash. Central defender Andy Webster will be hoping for a recall with Darren Dods most likely to make way. As United last game with Hamilton was postponed, midfielder Morgaro Gomis remains suspended so Scott Robertson will come in. Lee Wilkie and Francisco Sandaza remain sidelined.

Kilmarnock news

Kilmarnock will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to bottom-of-the-table Falkirk last week. Kilmarnock's on-loan goalkeeper Mark Brown is set to make way for Cameron Bell - who has recovered from concussion. Iain Flannigan is unlikely to have recovered from his rib injury to make the game.
