Disappointed Jack Ross insists Dundee United can’t use their European exploits as an excuse after their Livingston let-down.
United went from the high of Thursday’s 1-0 home win over AZ Alkmaar to the low of losing their first Premiership game of the season at Tannadice to Livi. Ross knows that with Thursday’s trip to Holland to come that it is new for a lot of his squad and they have to get used to juggling the expectations on two fronts.
The United manager said: “I am loath to use it as an excuse because that would take away from Livingston’s performance and where we fell short. But I think if you speak to the managers in the Premiership outwith the big two who have done this, it is difficult. You don’t have the real depth which means you can make multiple changes but we still should have had a greater intensity.
