Craig Levein could make a sensational dugout return this season with Dundee United set to offer him a free rein to keep them in the top flight, according to a report.
The Tannadice side are sitting rock-bottom of the Premiership table and held crisis talks following the sacking of Liam Fox. His stint in charge was short-lived with Jack Ross also axed this season as the Tangerines look out for a third boss this campaign.
United are currently four points behind Kilmarnock in 11th and Ross County in 10th with just 12 league games to play this season. After talks behind the scenes the Daily Record report that it is former boss Levein who has shot to the top of the wish list as the man they want to charge with completing a rescue mission and retaining their Premiership status.
