Gallacher predicts busy trip to Tannadice

Dec 3 2009 by Andy Newport, Paisley Daily Express

ON-FORM Saints goalkeeper Paul Gallacher has revealed he is expecting a busy afternoon when he faces his former employers on Saturday.

The Buddies travel north in the hope of securing a win against Dundee United and, at the same time, making sure they start December on a positive note.

Saints failed to win a single SPL match during November.

And Gallacher admits the task of picking up three points will get no easier against the Arabs.

Gallacher who has a soft spot for United after they plucked him from the Paisley and District Youth Football League, where he was a talented shot-stopper for Gleniffer Thistle ackowledges the fine goalscoring form Craig Leveins strikers have been in this season.

He said: Dundee United have been playing well of late.

They have players in their squad who battle away and they seem to be getting a lot of goals.

Its going to be hard for us because they are well equipped.

But, if we prepare well for the game, we should be alright.

Saints played the Tangerines at home earlier this season and fought out a frustrating 0-0 draw.

However, Gallacher hopes it is the Paisley men who can get the upper hand this time around.

He said: We know what we are up against because they are a hard-working team.

But, if we can find our shooting boots and play well, then well have a good chance.

Tannadice is always a hard place to go to but this is a match we are all looking forward to.

And, hopefully, we can get back to winning ways.
