Scott McDonald scored twice at Glebe Park

Scott McDonald scored twice in a thumping victory over Brechin City that lifts Dundee United into third place in the Scottish Championship.

Paul McMullan headed across goal for the Australian striker to tap home the opener six minutes after the break.

McDonald was provider five minutes later, sending Billy King clear for a clinical finish from the midfielder.

A 10-yard volley from McDonald, Scott Fraser's 20-yard free-kick and a Bilel Mohsni header completed the rout.

United move three points clear of Dunfermline Athletic and one behind Livingston, who have a game in hand.

Meanwhile, already relegated bottom side Brechin remain without a league victory this season.
