Dundee United are without three key midfielders for the Clydesdale Bank Premier League visit of Hamilton.

Scott Robertson is sidelined with a groin problem while Prince Buaben and Danny Swanson are unavailable due to suspension, meaning Jennison Myrie-Williams, Craig Conway and David Robertson are vying for starting places.

Captain Lee Wilkie is doubtful with an ankle problem, left-back Paul Dixon is also ruled out with a knee injury, while Francisco Sandaza, Jon Daly and Kevin Smith are all out long term.
