the first leg of the scottish premiership play off between dundee united and hamilton was goaless at this evening. but there was still plenty of drama. hamilton, who finished second bottom of the premiership, had the better of the first half and could have scored but the home side rallied in the second. dundee united ended the season second in the champiuonship, and their striker simon murray was sent off near the end for a second booking for diving. clubs can appeal against bookings for simulation so murray could still play in the second leg which takes place on sunday. after the departure of pablo zabaleta from manchester city, four more senior players are to leave this summer. gael clichy, bacary sagna, willy caballero and jesus navas will all leave as free agents. navas signed for city from sevilla in 2013 and made 123 premier league appearances for the club. he's been linked with a move back to the spanish side. there's been no news yet about midfielder yaya toure‘s future at the club. the first significant sporting event in manchester since since monday's terrorist attack took
