Goodwin on Europe goal, McInnes' Rangers & Sassetti

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has been speaking to the media ahead of Friday night's Scottish Premiership opener with Rangers at Tannadice. Here is the best of what he had to say: Goodwin says United should be targeting a top-six finish in the Scottish Premiership, challenging for Europe and making inroads in the cup competitions. When asked what needs to improve from last season's bottom-half league placing, he says they conceded too many goals and had too many draws. Goodwin expects new Rangers manager Derek McInnes to implement a similar style of play to his previous sides - adding he is a "good" and "sensible" appointment. He described new signing Daniel Bennie "as a really exciting player" after the 20-year-old winger joined on a season-long loan from QPR. Having already made 10 summer signings, Goodwin said there is not a lot more to do to his squad, but added they will remain active in the window "right up until the last day". Goodwin gave 15-year-old striker Lorenzo Sassetti his debut in the Premier Sports Cup group stages and has welcomed a rule change which allows him to play in all SPFL competitions. He hopes the rule change will help encourage good young Scottish players to stay in this country. Team News: "Pretty much a full compliment of players to chose from".
