Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has been speaking to the media ahead of his side's Friday night clash with Airdrieonians live on BBC Scotland.

Here are the key points:

  • He celebrated all but winning the title last weekend but admitted the "main emotion is one of relief".

  • Summer plans are already in place, although United "have a huge job on our hands" with a lot of players out of contract.

  • He will sit down with chairman Mark Ogren next week to agree his budget, adding that newly-appointed head of recruitment Michael Cairney will be a huge asset in hunting for new players.

  • Goodwin is looking forward to rebuilding his squad for the Premiership as it's "an opportunity to put my own stamp on things".

  • He says Airdrie are one of the best football teams in the league and praised manager Rhys McCabe.
