Gavin gunning for Killie show

Dundee United's Gavin Gunning insists his side will be doing all they can to entertain their fans against Kilmarnock.

The Irish defender insists they owe their support a performance after Saturday's boring 0-0 draw with St Mirren, which prompted both United boss Peter Houston and the Buddies' Danny Lennon to admit the quality was poor.

United have been good to watch this season, with exciting youngsters like Gary Mackay-Steven, Johnny Russell and Stuart Armstrong - who have all been called up for the Scotland Under-21s - in their side.

Gunning said: "We've been doing well in the past few weeks but obviously it wasn't our best game against St Mirren. It was probably two points dropped but that's the kind of game you can lose so it's not too bad getting a point.

"The fans probably didn't enjoy it but there are going to be games like that in the season. But in saying that, if you get a result it doesn't really matter.

"Hopefully we get a win against Kilmarnock and then leapfrog them. They are a very good footballing team but hopefully we can cause them some problems and score a few goals against them. We like to play as well so it should be a good, open game. I'd say the fans will probably get their money's worth from this game."
