Blackburn Rovers meet David Goodwillie payment to Dundee United

Dundee United have confirmed they received a scheduled payment from Blackburn Rovers for the transfer of striker David Goodwillie.

A Tannadice spokesman said: "I can confirm that we have now been paid the sum due by Blackburn, but the money was due to us a week past Wednesday and we have only received it today."

It had been reported Blackburn missed the deadline for the payment, but a statement said: "The club can confirm it paid all the monies to the FA on Monday."

Goodwillie signed for Rovers in August for an undisclosed fee, thought to be 拢2m plus 拢800,000 in potential add-ons.

He has scored four goals in 20 games for Rovers.
