Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara has admitted that his side's recent results have not been good enough.

Heading into tomorrow's Scottish Cup fifth-round tie with St Mirren, the Tangerines have failed to win in their last seven games.

Despite this, McNamara insists that his side can turn their form around with one positive victory.

"Our results might not have been great recently but we're not playing all that badly," the 40-year-old is quoted as saying by BT Sport. "We believe that one win could change everything and we just need to keep on doing the things we're good at.

"We were getting a lot of good publicity before this run but there's no lack of confidence. We've got faith in the players and we know what they're capable of on their day. Hopefully they can come good on Sunday as it's a match that means a lot to the club."
