Peter Houston earned his first Premier League win since taking over as caretaker manager of Dundee United, with a 1-0 win at Hamilton. After the game he was still insisting he had no interest in the full-time position.

Houston said: "I will help the chairman and board of directors for as long as I can until they find a new manager. What I've said to the chairman is to make sure he gets the right one because there is no rush for it. It doesn't change my mind.

"I've known these guys for three years now, I've been in about their faces and I'm their pal at times and that's the way assistants work.

"You can become too familiar. It's working just now but two months down the line we could lose that wee spark again. I think the best thing for the football club is to bring in a new manager."
