Luca Stephenson at Dundee United

Stephenson enjoyed a really productive campaign last season as he helped Dundee United finish 4th in the SPL. But he might do even better this time around.

United drew 3-3 with Hibernian at the weekend and Stephenson certainly caught the eye. He was the star of the show with two goals in the tie.

That goes with the assist Stephenson grabbed in his first game this season, putting him on three goal contributions in his opening two games. Things are going well, in other words, and he's earned special praise from his manager.

"I thought there were so many good individual performances, and of course, Luca deserves a huge amount of credit for the couple of goals that he had," said Jim Goodwin after the match.
