Central defender Jaroslaw Fojut and midfielder John Rankin miss out for Dundee United in their Scottish Premiership match against Hamilton Academical through injury.

They are replaced by youngsters Callum Morris and Charlie Telfer, while Ryan Dow and Mario Bilate remain injured.

Dougie Imrie returns to the Hamilton starting lineup and Lucas Tagliapietra is fit enough to make the bench. Player-manager Martin Canning is suspended after picking up a red card in last week's 1-1 draw against St Johnstone.

Dundee United: Cierzniak; McGowan, Dixon, Souttar, Morris; Paton, Telfer, Spittal, Erskine, Connolly; Ciftci

Hamilton Academical: McGovern; Gordon, Hendrie, Devlin, Gillespie; Imrie, Crawford, Lyon, MacKinnon; Longridge, Hasselbaink
