Marc McNulty in Dundee United return boost as Tam Courts admits hitman is desperate for St Mirren comeback

Marc McNulty is back to spearhead Dundee United ’s Premiership restart. The on-loan Reading striker has fully recovered from a hamstring injury and surgery and is back training with Tam Courts ’ first team.

The former Scotland frontman will come back into the United fold for Tuesday’s Tannadice clash with St Mirren. McNulty had to be held back before the break because he was so desperate to be involved earlier.
