the gaffer Good afternoon everyone, and welcome back to Tannadice!

We’ve got a couple of back-to-back home games, which is great, and we’ve had a really good week’s training.

Football fans are the same at every club and we were as disappointed as them to lose the game. We’ve not been too hard on ourselves. I said last week that nothing would be decided, and that remains the case. We don’t get too high or too low. We remain calm and level, and we’ll continue to do that between now and the end of the season.

IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMIND PEOPLE WE ARE SITTING AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE RIGHT NOW; A GREAT PLACE TO BE. WE NEED THE FANS TO COME OUT IN THEIR NUMBERS AND GET RIGHT BEHIND THE TEAM FROM MINUTE ONE! We expect Queen’s Park to come and be quite deep and defensive initially, but they are a very good footballing team and we respect them a lot. Callum Davidson has come in and done a really good job in terms of organising them.

I always felt they were one of the best footballing teams in the league in terms of possession; very easy on the eye to watch. I think Callum has come in and used his experience to shore up the backline and make them harder to break down.

It’s a game we’re all looking forward to!

I hope you all enjoy the game!

no boots no more

Known to many DUFC supporters, Denis McGurk has been ransforming pre-owned football boots for a those in need, thereby reducing waste and benefiting our community!

With over 1,200 pairs of boots cleaned and re-distributed, Denis is urging our supporters to look out their old boots to help out.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with STV News, Denis commented: “What really was the catalyst was reading that in Dundee at that time child poverty was one in four.

“I’d imagine in recent years that’s possibly gone in the wrong direction. If parents or guardians were struggling budget wise, football boots were never going to be on the shopping list.

“It wasn’t just about football; it was about the whole general wellbeing of boys and girls out there learning social skills, they learn teamwork, they learn communication, listening skills, respect.”

the visitors

After winning their opening three Championship matches of the season, there was great hope that the experiment of employing Dutchmen in the roles of Director of Football, Manager and Head of Youth positions could bear fruit for Scotland’s oldest club. However, the following eighteen matches in all competitions saw just a solitary success, Robin Veldman lost his job and stand-in boss Paul Nuijten failed to land the job permanently.

Since appointing Callum Davidson however, there is again cause for optimism with Queen’s’ season being totally transformed in the space of six weeks. From looking over their shoulders at bottom dogs Arbroath, The Spiders now sit just six points outside the promotion play-off spots.

Last weekend saw them hold in-form Greenock Morton to a 0-0 draw, the first time The ‘Ton had failed to score in eight matches.

This afternoon they will seek to end a sequence of eight successive away defeats at Tannadice, a run that stretches back 65 years to a 1-1 draw in February 1959.

january moves DANNY WILSON

Experienced central defender Danny Wilson was linked with several clubs following his release from Colorado Rapids last month but opted for an 18-month contract with the Mount Florida side.

Beginning his career with Rangers, he had pocketed a Scottish Cup winners medal in 2009 as an unused substitute in the final before he had even made his first team debut. The following season saw him make his debut, lift the Premier League title and win the League Cup despite being sent off after 71 minutes of the cup final victory over St Mirren.

After just 25 matches, Liverpool stumped up £2,000,000 to take him south.

However, the 6’ 2” stopper played only nine times for the Anfield side, being sent on loan to Blackpool, Bristol City and Hearts before moving to Tynecastle on a permanent deal. A return to Ibrox followed and he was part of the side which won the Championship and took Rangers back to the top flight.

A dream move to the USA in 2018 saw the five times capped international represent Colorado Rapids for six seasons before his return to Scotland.

Comfortable in possession, aggressive in the air and a great reader of the game, his signing will prove to be a huge plus for Queens Park.

JOSH SCOTT Joshua Scott signed on deadline day as the club’s ambitious move for the left-back paid off. A product of the youth set up at Newcastle United, the 21-year-old spent 11 years at St James’ and turned professional in 2021. The six-foot defender featured ten times for the Toon’s U21 side in the Football League Trophy and his three appearances for Queens so far have seen him rack up three clean sheets.

in charge CALLUM DAVIDSON

Appointed as Head Coach on January 9th, the arrival of former Scotland international Callum Davidson has seen a major upturn in the fortunes of Queens Park. The run of fifteen Championship matches without a win prior to the 47-year-old taking up his post seems a distant memory now with his five matches at the club yielding three wins, a draw and just one defeat.

Instant success shouldn’t come as a surprise however as the former St Johnstone, Blackburn Rovers, Leicester, and Preston North End left-back has considerable previous in that department! In his first season in charge of St Johnstone in 2020/21, he led them to an unlikely cup double as well as a fifth-place finish and qualification for the Europa League playoffs.

Such was his sporting prowess as a schoolboy, Davidson represented his country at golf as well as winning the Scottish Schools Tennis Championship. Thankfully, the Stirling-born defender chose to progress his football career rather than any other sport and went on to gain 19 Scotland caps and make 473 club appearances during a 20-year playing career.

one to watch Dom Thomas

With four goals from his last eight matches, the 28-year-old wide man is Queens’ in-form player.

A product of the Motherwell youth set-up, the Glaswegian went on to feature 39 times at firstteam level whilst at Fir Park. With six goals and nine assists this season, the former U21 capped player is at the heart of most of The Spiders’ attacking play. Thomas is creative, direct and comfortable with both feet, the winger is under contract at Hampden until the summer of 2025.

PLAYED FOR BOTH

Alan Irvine

Alan began his career with Queens Park in 1977, studying as an insurance broker whilst playing part-time football. After helping the Spiders win promotion to the First Division and having made three short of a century of appearances as an amateur, he made a quantum leap into topflight English football by signing for Everton in 1981.

he fell out of favour and was transfer-listed, having made 29 appearances and scoring five goals. He went on loan to Blackburn Rovers, a move that became permanent for a fee of £30,000 in November 1989.

Over the next three years at Goodison, he featured regularly, playing in the final of the League Cup against Liverpool in March 1984, he also helped the Toffeemen win the FA Cup that season, playing in all their Cup matches except the final itself. In August 1984 he was signed

by Crystal Palace as part of Steve Coppell’s rebuilding of the London side and was again a regular for his three seasons at Selhurst Park.

After being a part of Kenny Dalglish’s Blackburn team that won promotion to the newly formed English Premiership in 1992, Alan retired from playing to take up a coaching position with the club, becoming academy director at Ewood Park and later with Newcastle United, before taking the assistant manager role at Everton.

In November 2007, Alan became manager of Preston North End, and later had spells with Sheffield Wednesday & West Bromwich Albion, as well as caretaker manager with Norwich City.

His last port of call saw him team up as David Moyes’ assistant at West Ham in 2017 but stepped down from that role for personal reasons in May 2019, switching to a technical advisory role. Ironically, he was replaced by Billy McKinlay, one of his former Tannadice teammates, as West Ham United’s assistant manager.

However, in the summer of 1987, Jim McLean brought the winger back to Scotland for around £55,000. The winger made his first appearance during a pre-season tour of Norway, his competitive debut coming in the opening League match of that season against Rangers at Ibrox.

McLean featured frequently in the side during his first season but was hampered by injury. He scored his first goals for the club with a double in the 7-0 Scottish Cup win over Arbroath and bagged another brace against St Mirren at Tannadice in March. His second season was again heavily affected by injury, with the player managing only nine appearances after missing out for several months. After playing in the opening League match of the 1989-90 season,

THE EARLY DAYS

With the centenary of the name change from Dundee Hibernian to Dundee United having taken place in October, throughout the first half of the season we looked back at matches between visiting clubs and the Hibs.

During the second half, we’re highlighting the first-ever league meetings between United and our Championship rivals.

Less than two years after the name change – and after just two seasons in charge - Manager Jimmy Brownlie had transformed the club, leading it to a place among the elite in Division One. Among the clubs that awaited them was Queen’s Park, who had been in Division One since 1900. Prior to that, they had resisted joining the Scottish League, believing it to be incompatible with their amateur traditions; their Latin motto was – and still is, despite the club having turned professional in 2019 – Ludere Causa Ludendi, ‘the game for the game’s sake’.

Queen’s Park’s status as the pioneers of Scottish football led to them being reprieved from relegation despite finishing bottom of the table on three occasions, though they finally lost their place when automatic promotion and relegation was introduced in 1922. But they bounced straight back to Division One and held their place until 1939.

Jimmy Brownlie appreciated that most of the players who had achieved promotion would not be capable of sustaining Dundee United’s place in Division One, so only three of those men began season 1925-26.

A total of nine new players were signed and it was clear that they took some time to assimilate. Before the arrival of Queen’s Park on 9 September, Brownlie’s team was still looking for their first win in Division One, having lost three and drawn one of their opening four matches.

These teams met on a Wednesday evening and much of the match was played in a downpour: United: Bill Paterson, Jock Kay, Hugh McBride, Johnny McRoberts, Dave Walker, Bobby Bauld; William MacDonald, Willie Oswald, Joe Shandley, Jimmy Howieson, Jock McDonald.

Queen’s Park: T S Gibbs; T D Sneddon, W Wiseman; J Macdonald, R Gillespie, R E Moreland; R S Hepburn, J M Russell, R R Barr, J B McAlpine, W G Nicolson.

(As was customary, the Queen’s Park players were given their initials to signify their amateur status).

United had more of the play in the first half but leading scorer Jimmy Howieson squandered two decent opportunities and the scoreline remained blank at the interval.

The Tannadice men started the second half brightly and were awarded a penalty in the 47th minute, following a handball by Queen’s defender Wiseman. But hopes of it giving them the lead evaporated when Dave Walker sent his spot-kick high over the bar.

The supporters’ disappointment didn’t last long, however, as just five minutes later winger Jock McDonald delivered a precise pass to debutant Joe Shandley and the centre-forward cleverly beat ‘keeper Gibbs from just inside the penalty box.

Rather than press for a second goal, in their search for an elusive win the Tannadice men decided to adopt a ‘what we have we hold’ approach, effectively inviting Queen’s Park to attack.

Their leading playmaker, inside left J B McAlpine, was highly influential as the amateurs accepted the invitation. It was no surprise when, midway through the half they found an equaliser and nor was it a surprise that it was scored by McAlpine himself, taking advantage of a poor clearance by Jock Kay to fire home the equaliser.

Soon after, with United having lost their earlier momentum and unable to regain a foothold, Queen’s Park scored what proved to be the winner. McAlpine was again involved, this time with an assist, feeding centre-forward Barr who lashed the ball past Bill Paterson in the United goal.

The Courier’s reporter didn’t hold back in his criticism – “If Dundee United continue to play as they did last night it will be a long time before they gather in a respectable number of points. They constituted largely to their own defeat by mistaken tactics. A craze for individualism carried to ridiculous excesses seems to have laid hold of some of their players, and it was not surprising that the spectators who braved the elements were soured.”

Five weeks later the return fixture at Hampden produced the same outcome and the same score and at the end of the season United were safe in 17th place (out of 20), four behind Queen’s Park.

little in common

The men who scored the first two goals that evening provided wide contrasts.

Joe Shandley was one of the players signed by manager Jimmy Brownlie to bolster his squad in an attempt to make an impression on Division One. He had made ten appearances for Queen of the South in Division Two and made his debut on 26 August 1925 in a local cup tie against Dundee.

Two weeks later he was selected for the visit of Queen’s Park and you can’t ask much more of a centre-forward than that he should put the ball in the net, which Joe did, to give United the lead. It was eventually overturned as Queen’s took both points, but Joe probably reckoned he had earned a second match in which to prove himself.

United travelled to St Johnstone three days later, but Joe Shandley didn’t feature; his first league appearance would turn out to be his last and he left the club after just a month – which probably explains why no picture of him is known to exist!

James McAlpine went on to become a Queen’s Park legend. He remains the club’s record goalscorer with the second-highest number of appearances, scoring 192 times in 547 games in all competitions. He was twice selected to play for the Scottish League team and only missed out on full Scotland caps as he happened to have been born in London. He was elected club president of Queen’s Park in the 1950s.

kieran freeman departs

Kieran Freeman has joined Ireland Premier League outfit St Patrick’s Athletic on a permanent transfer, subject to international clearance.

A product of our Academy, the full-back was capped at youth level before being snapped up by then Premier League side Southampton aged just 16.

An unfortunate, injury-laden time on the south coast preceded his return to Tannadice in January 2020, where he would receive a Championship winners’ medal within his first six months back with the Terrors.

During his second stint in the city of Discovery, Freeman was an integral part of the squad which brought European football back to the club for the first time in a decade, recording four goal contributions in 23 league appearances as United finished fourth in the 2021/22 campaign.

Before heading across the Irish Sea to join Jon Daly’s side, the 23-year-old said “I’ve met some brilliant people inside and out with the club during my time here - I’ve loved every minute of it.

“I’ll always have brilliant memories such as my first league goal at Easter Road, qualifying for Europe up in Dingwall and beating AZ Alkmaar. I wish the players, staff and fans all the best for the rest of the season and beyond.”

The club would like to place on record its gratitude to Kieran for his service and professionalism throughout his two spells on Tayside, and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavours.

24 FEBRUARY 1912 - ST BERNARD’S 1-0 DUNDEE HIBS | CONSOLATION CUP (4TH ROUND)

From The Scotsman Monday 26 February 1912

1927 - MONTROSE 1-3 DUNDEE UTD | SCOTTISH CUP (3RD ROUND REPLAY) First Division United made hard work of overcoming Montrose, then Alliance League members. Having been held by the Links Park side the previous day a Tannadice, the replay also took place there, Montrose opting to cede ground rights hoping for greater gate receipts. They totalled £76 16s from a crowd numbering 2,397 who saw 120 minutes of action before Jimmy Brownlie’s side finally overcame the stubborn visitors. Indeed, having fallen behind to a McGurk header after 25 minutes.

McGregor only levelled six minutes into the second half. Despite constant pressure, United couldn’t find a winner in regulation time. However, McGregor struck again in the first half of extra time and a Walker penalty at the start of the second period, sealed a hard-earned victory.

1962 - DUNDEE UTD 4-2 RAITH ROVERS | LEAGUE (DIVISION ONE) The scoreline might indicate a comfortable United victory, but that was far from the case.

After Dennis Gillespie scored the opener, Raith replied with goals from Mike Clinton and Johnny Urquhart either side of the interval. And until 13 minutes from time Raith appeared set for a somewhat fortuitous victory. However, a push on Neil Mochan was harshly adjudged a penalty which Nellie lashed home. Thereafter United went to town with goals from Bert Howieson and Jim Irvine earned a hitherto unlikely two points.

1951 - QOS 3-3 DUNDEE UTD | LEAGUE (B DIVISION) The Sunday Post report’s headline was, ‘Queens’ Cracked Up When The Heat Went On’.

That was because after George Grant had put the Tannadice side ahead after only ten minutes, the Doonhamers hit back with Charlie Johnstone scoring twice and Paterson scoring once to lead 3-1. But with grim determination second-placed United fought back thanks to a Frank Quinn header and a clinical piece of finishing

by Peter McKay (pictured below) securing a draw to maintain the promotion challenge.

1998 - DUNDEE UTD 1-1 HIBERNIAN | LEAGUE (PREMIER DIVISION) A game of few chances, but totally dominated by The Terrors. It was doubly disappointing therefore to make the breakthrough on 73 minutes thanks to Andy Dow’s own goal from an Erik Pedersen free kick. Only to lose an equaliser scored by John Hughes just 60 seconds later!
