Kilmarnock 1-0 Dundee United: Analysis
Dundee United's lofty status in third, eight months on from promotion, belies their recent form with six points from a possible 18 registered since the turn of the year and three defeats in a row in all competitions.
However, that run betters nearest challengers Aberdeen's recent form, with the Pittodrie men without a league win since November.
Former Motherwell man Allan Campbell's addition in midfield brings experience and Premiership nous and can only help Jim Goodwin's team emulate Hearts' feat of following promotion with a third-placed finish three seasons ago.
The Tangerines may feel VAR just was not smiling on them in Ayrshire, with a late penalty claim for handball against Corrie Ndaba not moving the officials to act.
