Loan star Flood reckons United are on the rise
WILLO FLOOD has set his sights on upsetting the Old Firm after extending his loan period at Dundee United for another season.
The 23-year-old Irishman returned to Tannadice for the first day of pre-season training after agreement had been reached with his club Cardiff City earlier in the week.
And the midfielder is looking forward to pitting his wits against the Glasgow giants.
He said: "It's usually the Old Firm who are chasing each other and the rest are in for the UEFA Cup spot and the cups.
"But I think we are good enough to compete against them.
"I like playing against the Old Firm. You don't get to play against teams like that in the (Coca-Cola] Championship.
"We showed against the two big boys that we are good enough to play them on their own ground.
"We showed in the last game of the season when Celtic came here that we should have won."
Flood is also looking forward to making amends for the frustrations of last season.
"Missing out on a European place and losing to Rangers in the CIS Insurance Cup final is unfinished business," he said.
