Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin will miss Saturday’s Scottish Premiership match at Kilmarnock after being admitted to hospital with an ongoing medical matter. The club says he is in good spirits, but has asked for privacy and will not provide further medical details until an appropriate update.

Assistant Lee Sharp led first-team training and handled pre-match media duties in Goodwin’s absence, although it is unclear whether he will take charge at Rugby Park. United have one point from their opening three league matches, while Kilmarnock have yet to gain a point after two games.
