Dundee United have announced the signing of 18-year-old midfielder Blair Spittal on a three-year deal from Queen's Park.

The teenager was named SPFL Young Player of the Month last October and produced a number of impressive performances despite the Spiders struggling in League 2.

Tannadice boss Jackie McNamara told the club website: "Blair was someone I was keen to bring to Dundee United so his signing delights me. He has versatility but it is his attacking threat which really caught my eye.

"There were other clubs interested in Blair and it says everything about how we are developing players that he chose us. I am convinced he will prove to be an excellent signing and entertain the United fans greatly."

Spittal added: "This is where I feel I can continue to evolve as a footballer and seeing how well Andy Robertson has progressed also played a part in my decision. Dundee United allows you to develop regardless of age and the manager's vision for the club excites me."
