Jackie McNamara Could Be Set To Leave Dundee United

Published 27th Sep 2015

It's understood Jackie McNamara has managed his final game for Dundee United.

United have declined to comment on reports that McNamara has been told his time at Tannadice is up, after 10-man St Johnstone came from a goal down to win the Tayside derby at McDiarmid Park.

But it is understood that McNamara's departure will be confirmed once the formalities of his contract termination and compensation agreement have been completed.

McNamara sent assistant Simon Donnelly to speak to the press after his side's 2-1 defeat, which left them in 11th place in the Premiership with five points from nine matches.

The former Celtic and Scotland player held discussions with chairman Stephen Thompson instead and more will follow but United will soon be looking for a new boss.
