We're still in the Hunt

DUNDEE UNITED will be a more potent attacking force without 18-goal Noel Hunt according to Craig Levein.

The Irishman's £600,00 move to Reading was seen as a blow to the Arabs' hopes for third spot. But boss Levein insists selling Hunt has allowed him to add more firepower. He said: "Noel was great but it's a decent deal.

"We brought in Warren Feeney who's an international and has more to his game. Jon Daly gives power and aggression, Francisco Sandaza is different to anything we've had and Andis Shala is a powerful boy.

"We've just got Roy O'Donovan on loan while kids David Goodwillie and Johnny Russell are pushing hard. It's healthy."
