Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin is cautiously optimistic about the return of injured duo Louis Moult and Ross Graham ahead of this weekend’s clash with Rangers. Both players have been sidelined with knee and hamstring injuries, but Goodwin has put them on modified training sessions in hopes of having them fit for Saturday’s trip to Ibrox. While he acknowledged their progress, he was careful not to raise expectations too soon, stating, “We’re being tentative at the moment, but they are over the worst of it.”

Goodwin also reflected on the season’s stop-start nature, with international breaks affecting team rhythm. Despite this, he’s hopeful the rest will allow his squad to recover as they approach a busy period. With Dundee United sitting in a promising fourth place, Goodwin is urging caution. “I don’t spend too much time looking at the league table at this stage,” he said. “It’s after the Christmas period, into mid-January, when you get a much clearer picture.” His message to players remains clear: stay focused, avoid complacency, and take it one game at a time.
