Dundee United undecided on Airdrie’s Gary McKay-Stevens

Dundee United have yet to make up their minds whether to make a move for Airdrie winger Gary McKay-Stevens.

First team coach Gary Kirk confirmed that the 20-year-old has trained with the Tannadice club recently, but if they decide to pursue their interest they may have competition from the likes of St Johnstone, Hibs and Kilmarnock.

Kirk said, “The boy has trained a couple of times with us at St Andrews for the gaffer to have a wee look at him. He hasn’t made any judgment on him yet and that’s basically where we are with it.

“Airdrie are pushing in their league so they don’t want him to do too much and you can see he’s not 100% fit to be fair.

“We have seen that when we’ve watched him in games for Airdrie as well. He’s decent, though, and he went for money from Ross County to Liverpool.

“I wouldn’t say he lost his way but I think he had a couple of injuries while he was there and his mum and dad came back up the road so he came with them.

“He needed to get back playing and he’s done well for Jimmy Boyle (Airdrie manager). He’s also done well in our training sessions. We’ll see what comes of it.”Jordan RobertsonAnother player who has trained with United recently, Jordan Robertson, could be in the opposition team when St Johnstone make the short trip along the A90 for the Tayside derby tomorrow.

The former Sheffield United man was a loan signing of Craig Levein’s and more recently was on trial with the Tangerines after being released from prison.

Kirk, who watched Robertson make his first start for Saints against Rangers on Tuesday night, said, “Jordan just wasn’t fit enough when he was here and the way we looked at it was, how long was it going to take before we could play him?

“Jordan came to the gaffer and said he had the chance to get some game time down south so he said, ‘On you go.’ Next thing we know, he’s at St Johnstone. You win some, you lose some.

“He did all right in midweek. He’s a strong boy and held the ball up well but you can see he’s not match fit. “At the tempo we play he might find it a bit harder. Saturday’s a derby game and I think they’ll come here and have a go. They’ve had a good season, apart from not getting in the top six.

“They’ve got to score some time but hopefully it won’t be until after Saturday. We’ve just got to look after ourselves.”Selection boostsScott Severin suffered no reaction to his first full 90 minutes in over six months, and Garry Kenneth also came through his substitute appearance unscathed.

The man he replaced, Keith Watson, was withdrawn because of a calf strain but Kirk is optimistic that he too will be available for selection.

He said, “It was good to get two of our centre-backs playing again. Seve came through the match okay. He was fine today and big Kenneth was all right as well. That’s a big positive coming out of the game.

“They should both be fine for Saturday. Keith felt his calf. We brought him off the pitch as soon as we could to get ice on it, so we weren’t risking losing him for the rest of the season.

“He’s been back in for treatment today and should be okay.”

Overall the injury situation is as positive as Kirk can recall since the campaign began.

Paul Dixon has crossed the suspension threshold and will miss United’s home match against Rangers on April 19 as well as the first post-split fixture.
