Jim Goodwin will miss Dundee United's trip to Kilmarnock as the club issued up an update on his health.

The 44-year-old was admitted to hospital on Thursday and kept in overnight for observation. His assistant Lee Sharp told yesterday how he had spoken to the Irishman, who was in good spirits.

Sharp was on standby to take the team at Rugby Park and will now be doing that, with Goodwin not ready to be on the touchline.
