Dundee United moved up to second in the SPL table despite being held to a disappointing goalless draw at home to Ross County.

The hosts dominated the match at Tannadice Park in terms of possession and shots, but neither goalkeeper will consider themselves to have had a difficult night between the sticks.

Midfielder Willo Flood looked the most likely player to make something happen, yet the former Celtic man repeatedly disappointed with his final delivery.

The majority of Flood's crosses and shots were blocked by the two immovable banks of four that County camped deep inside their own half.

County now sit fourth in the table, unbeaten in their opening six matches - including five draws.
