Come back tomorrow for all your Scottish football needs when all four SPFL divisions return.

Bye for now!

Arbroath manager Dick Campbell tells BBC Scotland: "Great atmosphere you could see.

"It's not like Arbroath to lose four goals so easily.

"They got their goals very easily.

"Dundee United were made to look good, albeit they were good.

"You've got to give credit to Dundee United they looked very, very much the favourites tonight.

"It'll be a different ball game the next time we play them.

"We did not lay a glove on them so I'm very, very angry about that."

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: "We had brilliant travelling support and we really wanted to reward them for their efforts, not just for this season but towards the end of last season as well.

"It was a really disciplined performance.

"Some of the goals and the build-up play was excellent.

"I think Louis Moult is in there now trying to get his contract up to see if he's got an assist bonus - he's certainly got a goal bonus!

"Really pleased to put on the type of performance that we did."

Dundee United striker Louis Moult joins the BBC Scotland crew post-match and tells them he "really enjoyed it" tonight.

""It's good to be back out there, enjoying my football," he said,

"You'll seex, if I've got that hunger back and enjoyment, I back myself to score goals."

It's a case of start as you mean to go on as far as Dundee United are concerned.

Glenn Middleton's opener, Matthew Cudjoe's deft dink, and Craig Sibbald's strike were all assisted by Louis Moult.

The striker then notched his own goal at the end of the opening 45.

A less action-packed second half followed, but United kept it professional, maintaining their clean sheet.

Arbroath didn't necessarily play all that poorly, but they failed to ever effectively match the levels of the opposition this evening.

An Arbroath corner is nodded back across goal and the last header is from Jay Bird, but he knocks it over the bar from close range.

It probably should be a consolation for the hosts as he mistimes his jump and he appears to connect with the ball with the top of his back in the end.

It should be 5-0.

A Ross Docherty cutback is fired wide by Declan Glass, but if he leaves it for the waiting Miller Thomson, he was set to sweep it in.

The game's hardly in jeopardy for United, but they'll want as many as they can get.

Arbroath have managed to take the sting out of United’s rampant play in this second half, but I don’t think that’ll please Dick Campbell and co too much.

The introduction of experienced pair David Gold and Mikey McKenna has certainly helped the cause, but they’re no magicians.

Always seems the way that a high-scoring first half is often followed by a lower-scoring second 45.

Dundee United's level of performance hasn't altered to any great extent either.

They're still showing signs of good attacking impetus, but the rhythm of their play is being interrupted a bit more now by Arbroath perhaps.

Arbroath win a free kick on the edge of the are after Craig Sibbald commits the foul.

It's a decent chance to get something back in the game, but Jay Bird fires it over the bar from the central set-piece.

Glenn Middleton finds himself on the left-hand side of the box and goes to fizz it back across goal with his left foot.

He almost certainly didn't mean to go for goal, but the first-time strike almost flies in the net.

It just creeps over the bar in the end.

Had that been given, I don't think there could have been too many complaints.

Shouts for a United penalty are denied by referee Don Robertson much to the bemusement of Glenn Middleton, who was challenged in the box.

It's shoulder-to-shoulder contact, but there's a decent bit of force in the move by the Arbroath player in fairness.

More slick play from United in the final third.

Tony Watt bursts into the box and checks back smartly onto his right foot, his cutback hits a few bodies and ultimately evades Matthew Cudjoe at the back post.

Louis Moult, clearly enjoying his evening, gives a shout and a few pumped fists to the travelling support behind the goal they're now attacking.

Scott McMann rattles the post with a lovely effort from outside the area.

He catches it sweetly after a few bounces and is a few inches away from his side's fifth strike.

Louis Moult attempts to intercept a back pass and his outstretched leg catches Derek Gaston in the head.

The striker was entitled to challenge for the ball and referee Don Robertson just gives the goalkeeper a minute to get back up and play resumes.

Matthew Cudjoe floats a back across the box from the right-hand side, but it narrowly evades the leaping Glenn Middleton.

Moments before, Arbroath's Scott Stewart was cautioned for a cynical challenge on Cudjoe.

The second half action commences.

...but Jim Goodwin must be delighted with his side's start.

After their disappointing League Cup group-stage campaign the pressure was on United.

What a response from them, so far.
