Dundee United held firm in the second half to secure a 1-1 draw away to Hibernian and take a huge step towards sealing their place in the top six of the cinch Premiership.
Chris Cadden’s cross after 20 minutes was turned into his own net by Calvin Ramsay to give the visitors the lead but a Lewis Ferguson penalty after Rocky Bushiri was penalised for handball brought the Dons back into the match, and he added a second from the spot after Ryan Porteous was red-carded for a foul on Ross McCrorie.
The 19-year-old was handed his first start in the Easter Road side’s 2-1 Scottish Cup quarter-final victory over Motherwell, scoring after 15 minutes and again on 37 minutes as he impressed in just his third appearances for the club.
The 19-year-old felt the full force of Motherwell defender Bevis Mugabi’s red-card challenge inside the opening seconds at Fir Park and although he tried to play on after receiving treatment, he was unable to continue and replaced by Chris Mueller after nine minutes.
Motherwell defender Bevis Mugabi was sent off inside the first minute as Hibernian won 2-1 at Fir Park to reach the Scottish Cup semi-finals.
The American attacker, who missed the goalless draws against Dundee and St Johnstone after contracting Covid-19, has returned to training and could be involved at Fir Park.
Unfortunately for Shaun Maloney, he doesn’t have his problems to seek on the injury front with a number of absentees ahead of this key clash.
