Dundee United pair Nadir Ciftci and John Souttar have been offered 'long-term' contract extensions by the Scottish Premiership club.

Both players have one year remaining on their current deals at Tannadice Park.

Cifti has scored 31 goals in 81 games for Jackie McNamara's side, while academy product Souttar has made 51 appearances.

"Both players have proved their worth to the team and the club as a whole and merit the extension offer," said a club spokesman. "We believe that Dundee United remains the best club for both players to develop and as such have made enhanced longer-term offers to the players that reflect their value to Dundee United."

Dundee United are back in Scottish Premiership action on Sunday when they will host local rivals Dundee.
