Nicky Clark: Last News

Scottish Cup and Saturday's semi-finalists both feel they have every chance of going all the way. Dundee United take on Hibs at the national stadium and know they sit just a tantalising two wins away from getting their hands on the famous trophy.

Dundee United. After a disastrous run of form Neil Lennon 's side appear to have stopped the bleeding and have rattled off three wins in a row.

Micky Mellon hailed his Dundee United side’s relentless nature after they saved a point in injury time for the second time in a week. Just as they had done last Saturday at Hibs, the Tannadice men levelled in added on time when Nicky Clark netted at the second time of asking.

which saw the Terrors bounce back from Ross Callachan’s opener to win thanks to a Nicky Clark double.And McCann reckons Brian Rice’s Accies, who have won twice in 13 games this season, are lacking the players required to dig out results for the Premiership’s bottom side.He said: “The thing is in past seasons Hamilton have always had a little bit of grit and a little bit of nastiness to dig results out when it’s not going well and bounce back, with players like (Darian) MacKinnon and (Dougie) Imrie.“They don’t have that so Brian Rice has to find someone who can galvanise the middle of the pitch, just to stop that, let them get a foothold and maybe get some points on the board.”Callachan blew the chance to take a share of the spoils when he

Dundee United stars for refusing to make a drama out of the wage cut bombshell which struck Tannadice this week as they ended a difficult few days with a win against Ross County. United opened talks with Mellon, his staff and the Tannadice playing pool over 20 per cent cuts this week with no end in sight to the covid crisis that has kept the gates locked on Scottish football grounds.Sporting director Tony Ashgar says those talks will resume in the coming days as they look to reach agreement “as soon as possible”.

Hamilton earned their first home point of the season in a hard-fought clash with Dundee United.. Lawrence Shankland put Micky Mellon's side ahead at New Douglas Park before Hakeen Odoffin's bullet header earned Accies a share of the spoils.  The visitors took an early lead as Adrian Sporle found space on the right side of the box after three minutes, before his low cross found Shankland in the box to tap the ball into the net.Accies then carved out their first chance as neat work by David Templeton on the edge of the box allowed him to cross the ball, which eventually fell to Kyle Munro.

Steven Gerrard's men had matched the 114 year record set by Celtic in 1906 in the 2-0 win over Hamilton prior to the international break. And they managed to make it seven in a row in their 4-0 win over Dundee United at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon.Rangers have been solid in defence during the opening weeks of the season and the Terrors are the latest side to be shutout, following on from Aberdeen, St Mirren, St Johnstone, Livingston, Kilmarnock and Accies.

Micky Mellon insists the club should be expecting to go to places like Ross County and win. The Tannadice boss isn't interested in the fact they're a newly-promoted side and insists the size of the club means they should be performing at the top end of the Premiership.They now have seven points from the first 12 on offer after their 2-1 win in Dingwall and Mellon was thrilled with what was on offer from his players.He handed a debut to youngster Kieran Freeman and was thrilled with his performance, as well as that of the older players.Nicky Clark struck a late winner and the likes of Mark Reynolds are also key for Dundee United and their manager couldn't praise them enough as he issued a rallying call to his players.

Dundee United picked up their first win of the campaign. Reynolds first goal in Tangerine and only his 14th in a career which started at Fir Park way back 15 years ago separated the sides in a flat affair in South Lanarkshire.

Dundee United will need to learn quickly to handle life back in the top flight after one slip cost them a flag day victory. The Tannadice men squandered their lead against St Johnstone despite playing the second half with a man advantage after Michael O’Halloran’s red card.

Dundee United at Auchenhowie this afternoon.Manager Steven Gerrard has spoken about the need to trim the fat from his squad and is unlikely to have been impressed by the result.With the first team taking on Motherwell at Ibrox in the evening, a B team took on Micky Mellon's side in a bounce game.The Rangers squad included a number of first team players, with Calvin Bassey, Jordan Jones, Greg Stewart and Greg Docherty all starting the match.It was the visitors who took the lead though, with a familiar face doing the damage, former Gers man Nicky Clark converting a penalty after just six minutes.The hosts soon levelled things though, with Josh McPake scoring on a Greg Stewart cutback.It was all square at the break but United established their
