Dundee United's goal hero against Celtic suffers injury nightmare as Jim Goodwin left gutted

Farrugia scored his first goal for Dundee United in the 2-2 draw at Celtic but suffered a groin strain and will miss the Motherwell match.

Neil Farrugia marked his first goal for Dundee United in the 2-2 draw at Celtic Park but immediately suffered a setback. The midfielder picked up a groin injury during the match and will be sidelined for the weekend clash with Motherwell, with manager Jim Goodwin indicating he will need the international break to recover.

Goodwin expressed frustration at the timing, saying Farrugia had just opened his account for the Terrors before the injury struck. "He scored his first goal for the club and then he's just pulled up after trying a sprint," the manager said. "It's a bit of a nightmare for him." Goodwin noted that Farrugia has endured bad luck since joining the club but remains an important player in the squad.
