Well, a not unexpected lack of clarity from the SFA there, just blankly stating that McCulloch's appeal was rejected.

So that's Simonsen, Foster, McCulloch, Mohsni and Streete all unavailable defensively for the Hibs game tomorrow night. New boy Kevin Mbabu is unlikely to feature I would think.

Robinson, MacGregor, Zaliukas, Wallace and Faure more likely to start? Or will Stevie Smith be shoehorned in there at left back with Wallace moved to centre back? Let's see how creatively Kenny McDowall can xxxx up our defensive selection.

There's always the Jon Daly option as well, remember. A Dundee Utd-supporting pal of mine said he was Utd's best defender the season before he joined us. Said it with a straight face too, the bugger!
