the gaffer

Good afternoon everyone, and welcome back to Tannadice!

No one needs to remind us of the importance of this fixture. It’s huge for both sets of players and it’s a great game to be involved in - both teams have run it close and it’s set up for a thrilling encounter.

I feel we have actually played well in the games against Raith but simply haven’t had the results we wanted. We were well on top at Stark’s Park and we will take a lot of confidence from that - we feel as if we’re due a win and there’s no time like this afternoon to take it.

We’re all aware of what’s at stake. We’ve had a great week of training and it’s my job as Manager to keep them nice and calm and use their energy in the right way on Saturday.

I think there’ll be a great atmosphere in the stadium. Again, it’s up to me and my players to get a huge United following out of their seats. Supporters are extremely passionate and want to see us winning and giving 100% - but I don’t think that’s ever been in question with this group.

I’M EXPECTING A FULL-BLOODED SHOWING FROM MY TEAM AND I’M SURE WE WILL HAVE THE FANS ON SIDE.

I hope you all enjoy the game!

The official sponsors of the Scottish FA match officials have facilitated for retired refs to speak to participants of Football Memories, a project which assists people living with memory loss conditions, including dementia and Alzheimer’s, as well as those experiencing loneliness and social isolation.

Established in 2009, Football Memories Scotland is a charitable project run by the Scottish Football Museum in partnership with Alzheimer Scotland.

With 500 groups around the country, often hosted in football settings, Football Memories uses engaging football-themed resources stored in a memory box to stir memories and discussions led by volunteers.

Paul Wilson, General Manager of the Dundee United Community Trust said, “Every football fan has countless memories waiting to be shared and through Football Memories, individuals with Alzheimer’s across Scotland are given the key to unlock these precious moments and feelings, offering them and their carers opportunities for connection, belonging, and respite. This programme isn’t just about the beautiful game; it’s about the beautiful moments it creates in the lives of those touched by Alzheimer’s.”

“Our Football Memories group recently heard from John Rowbotham, who shared his journey from being an amateur footballer to representing Scotland as an international referee, as part of the Specsavers-sponsored tour, and I’d like to thank both Specsavers and John for their support of this fantastic programme.”

Specsavers have sponsored the boxes for the referee tour and have helped to provide some exciting new content for them such as old football boots, photographs of former referees and other memorabilia.

Long-term memories can be triggered for many through the visual cues of images, videos, artefacts and discussions taking place in a small group or even a one-to-one setting, unlocking precious happy moments from the past. The impact can be enormous.

Chief Operating Officer Joe Rice continued, “The impact of Alzheimer’s is all too common and to witness the power that the Football Memories group can have to relieve some of the pressure that builds is heart-warming.”

“Our award-winning community trust continues to lead the way in all areas of its programme and the club is delighted to support their efforts. It is also great to be able to assist Specsavers and John Rowbotham in raising awareness for both the programme and the wider Alzheimer’s issue that so many are impacted by.”

Specsavers announced in 2021 that it renewed its sponsorship deal with football referees in Scotland, marking more than 20 years of support – one of the longest agreements of its kind in sport.

The deal has seen the partnership continue into 2024, not only helping with the training and development of referees, but also helping to raise awareness of para football and grassroots football in Scotland.

the visitors

Whilst both sides have played down the importance of previous encounters this term, there’s no doubt that the visit of Raith Rovers this afternoon will have a major bearing on where the Championship title will end up in May.

Despite exuberant post-match celebrations following their victories in December and February, our visitors arrive today still trailing United by a point, albeit with a game in hand.

After a run of five consecutive defeats just after New Year, Rovers have steadied the ship and have kept three clean sheets during the trio of unbeaten matches since their televised defeat to Arbroath at the start of the month.

Our previous meeting here back in December saw Raith keep their first clean sheet in a league match at Tannadice since 1945 when Dylan Easton’s strike sealed a 1-0 victory.

the transfer window

Raith bolstered their ranks during the winter window with four loan signings from the Premiership.

Central defender James Brown joined St Johnstone from Millwall back in 2021 after an initial six-month loan. The 26-year-old Maltese internationalist found himself surplus to requirements in Perth over the New Year period and has featured six times for Rovers. A slight niggle sees the former Millwall stopper a doubt for this afternoon.

Dundee defender Lee Ashcroft made the switch in February but suffered a hamstring injury on his debut and hasn’t featured since.

Paisley-born Kyle Turner will be hoping not to suffer promotion disappointment for the second season running. The 26-year-old was part of the Partick Thistle side that blew up in Dingwall during the latter stages of the play-off final last term. Following the defeat, the midfielder joined Ross County but, after finding it difficult to hold down a firstteam place, he moved to Kirkcaldy until the end of the season. Having worked with Turner at Airdrie, Murray knows exactly what the former St Mirren youth can offer.

Zak Rudden began his career at Rangers and was capped at youth level at Ibrox. After loans at Falkirk and Plymouth, the 6’2” striker moved to Firhill where he enjoyed the most successful spell of his career, scoring 14 times in two years. A loan move to Dens preceded a permanent shift to Dundee however, for the second season in a row, the 24-year-old finds himself out on loan. With three goals in his nine starts at Rovers, he’s almost certain to start this afternoon.

in charge

IAN MURRAY

Raith manager Ian Murray claimed that United are “rattled” by his men challenging for the title. That kind of rhetoric should stoke the flames for today’s powder-keg clash but also suggests that he sees his side as favourites to win the Championship.

The 43-year-old, who broke through the youth ranks at Hibernian, made almost 300 appearances for the Easter Road side over two spells. In between his stints with Hibees, the versatile defender cum holding midfielder turned out for Rangers and Norwich City before ending his career with short stints at Brechin City and Dumbarton.

Having previously managed at Dumbarton, St Mirren and Airdrieonians, the former Scotland international is looking to secure the first silverware of a 25-year career.

one to watch

This week saw the 28-year-old rewarded with a testimonial match, twelve years after signing his first professional contract with the club. A crowd of 2240 saw a young Hibernian side in the role of party poopers as they thrashed the hosts 5-1.

With 83 goals from his 244 appearances, the striker cum winger is the nineteenth top goalscorer of all time in the Raith record books. This season has seen the Edinburgh-born frontman hit the net fifteen times, the second-best return of his career.

Having suffered ACL injuries a career-threatening four times, it’s a testament to Vaughan’s mental strength that he still playing at this level. By his own admission, he is currently the fittest he has ever been and feels in the form of his career.

When he struck the opener in the 1-1 draw in Kirkcaldy back in October, it wasn’t the first time that the hitman had netted against United. Whilst on loan at Dumbarton back in 2017, his goal in a 2-2 Tannadice draw all but sealed The Sons’ survival.

PLAYED FOR BOTH

Derek Murray

Most fans will recall Derek Murray for his time with United, but as you’ll discover, most of his first am appearances came with two other clubs despite spending as many seasons at Tannadice as at Motherwell and Raith Rovers put together.

Originally, signed provisionally for United from Oakley United in March 1977, ‘Minty’ made his debut in a friendly against East Fife in August 1977.

He was the regular left-back in the reserves during his seven years at Tannadice and made his first team debut in major competition in August 1980, starting in a League Cup tie against East Fife.

He had to wait until nearer the end of that season for his second appearance but had an extended run in the side during the 1981-82 season, starting in 16 matches, including the 5-0 UEFA Cup win over Borussia Monchengladbach in November 1981.

Competing with Maurice Malpas for the left-back position, Derek was used mostly as an unused substitute during the 1982-83 season and made only one appearance as United finished the season as Premier Division Champions, although he did appear in friendlies against West Ham, Southampton and Everton.

Continuing as a squad player during season 1983/84, Derek played in United’s European Cup first-round tie versus Maltese champions Hamnrun Spartans at Tannadice but made only three further domestic appearances before dropping out of the first team squad in December.

Although only playing 23 top-team games for the Tangerines, it cannot be ignored that he featured in something around ten times that number for the Reserves!

He was allowed to leave Tannadice in the summer of 1984 and became one of Tommy McLean’s first signings when he paid £5,000 to take the defender to newly relegated Motherwell in June 1984.

Having essentially acted as back up to Maurice Malpas at United and couldn’t force his way into the first team on a regular basis, he jumped at the chance of first-team football when the opportunity presented itself.

And Derek became a consistent performer and played a key role in a side that won the 1984/85 First Division to bounce back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

After four seasons in which he made just three shy of a century of appearances in claret and amber, he moved to Raith Rovers in July 1988.

Fittingly, he finished his footballing career in his native Fife by returning to his first club, Oakly United where he became assistant manager before eventually stepping away from the game altogether.

PROUDLY SUPPORTING DUNDEE UNITED

magnificent moult

Louis Moult was on target in some style last weekend, launching the ball from the best part of 50 yards over Mark Ridgers and in off the bar to restore parity against Inverness!

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 in 1925.

One of the clubs awaiting the new boys was Raith Rovers, who had been in Division One since 1910 and contested the Scottish Cup final three years later. In what remains their best-ever season, they finished third in 1921-22 and two years later were fourth.

The Kirkcaldy club were one of Scottish football’s pioneers, carrying the torch to Denmark in the summer of 1922 and to the Canary Islands the following year. They also had one of the future legends of the game in inside forward Alex James (aged 23 in 1925), who scored twice for the Wembley Wizards in Scotland’s iconic 5-1 win in 1928.

You would imagine that manager Brownlie was not too concerned that an injury kept James out of the Rovers side at Stark’s Park on 15 August 1925, in what was United’s debut in Division One. It ended in a 4-2 defeat for the Tannadice men, which likely was partly due to the fact that, following promotion, Brownlie had brought in a raft of new players to help meet the higher demands of Division One and eight of them made their debuts that day. There were no pre-season friendlies then although clubs did hold public trial matches, which essentially involved the probable first XI facing those who hoped to be there. That would have been the only opportunity for the new arrivals to get to

know each other, although the Courier advanced another factor contributing to United’s demise. It was the first day of the new offside rule, with the number of defenders required between ball and goal being reduced from three to two. The change had been made primarily in an attempt to increase the rate of goalscoring, which had slumped since the resumption of normal league football after the First World War. Ultimately it was effective, with the 1930s in particular witnessing some phenomenal scoring records, but it seems that, initially at least, United could not master the new law and were badly caught out with three of the four goals conceded at Stark’s Park!

Indeed, Raith Rovers had established a 3-0 lead within half an hour, through Alex Ritchie, Jimmy Scott and Dave Morris.

The United defence did steady the ship thereafter, but Ritchie scored his second soon after the interval and it seemed the home side might run away with the game. But to their credit United fought back and centre-forward Jimmy Howieson twice found the net, the second described as ‘a treat, taken on the run from fifteen yards out’.

The result was reportedly a fair reflection of the run of play, with Rovers masters in the first half, but United having the greater share of the play in the second period. It’s fair to assume the 12,000 crowd felt they had got their money’s worth from a good contest between these two teams –

Raith Rovers: Jimmy Mathieson; George Barton, David Moyes; David Frame, Dave Morris, George Miller; James Buchanan, Alex Ritchie, Jimmy Scott, Owen Dorrans, Peter Bell. Manager, James Logan

United: Bill Paterson; Jock Kay, Hugh McBride; Micky Campbell, Dave Walker, Jimmy Walker; Tommy Simpson, Bobby Bauld, Jimmy Howieson, Jimmy Simpson, Jock McDonald.

It took United some time to find their feet at the higher level and when they returned to Fife a week later, they went down to an even heavier defeat, 5-1 to Cowdenbeath. The first five matches in Division One produced but a single point and there were only two wins from the first twelve (albeit one was against that season’s champions, Celtic).

But the club’s fortunes then improved and United gained revenge on Raith Rovers in the return fixture at Tannadice in March, winning 3-1. At the end of the season it was the Black and Whites who survived, finishing in 17th place (out of 20) with the Rovers - two points and two places below - suffering relegation for the first time in their history.

on both sides

Two of the men who faced each other that day also played for their opponents during their careers.

Dave Morris joined Raith Rovers in 1920, aged 21. Over the next five seasons he established himself as a commanding centre-half and made more than 250 appearances. In 1923 he won the first of six Scotland caps, three of them as captain, leading to his transfer to Preston North End for the then considerable fee of £4800 in December 1925. Six years later United paid £500 for him in the hope that his experience would help to avoid relegation. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen and Dave left Tannadice at the end of season 1931-32, having played just 18 games for the club.

Bobby Bauld holds the distinction

of being the first player ever signed by Dundee United. He had joined Raith Rovers in 1921 aged 18 and quickly established himself as an inside forward with a powerful shot. However, by November 1923 he was unable to hold down a regular place and was allowed to join United. Manager Jimmy Brownlie turned him into a wing half and Bobby became a huge favourite with fans at Tannadice scoring 30 goals, many of them thunderbolt free-kicks. He played 150 times over his three and a half seasons at Tannadice, but left when the club was relegated in 1927. Bradford City paid £350 for him and he spent seven successful years in Yorkshire, winning the championship of Division Three North in 1929 and then remaining in Division Two.

1918 - COWDENBEATH 3-0 DUNDEE HIBS | EASTERN LEAGUE

Played in torrential rain, the Courier describes first-half proceedings as a “bloodless battle” albeit league leaders Cowdenbeath passed up a plethora of chances. But for the first 20 minutes of the second half, Hibs looked the likelier lot, however, like the hosts couldn’t capitalise when on top. Instead, almost unexpectedly, McKay headed the opener and soon nabbed a second with Gibbons’ getting a third - rather harsh on the plucky effort of the visitors for whom this was the last game of the season.

1929 - ARBROATH 1-2 DUNDEE UTD | LEAGUE (DIVISION TWO)

Two Arbroath records went as a result of United’s visit to Gayfield. First, Gayfield’s attendance record of almost 7000 was shattered by a full 5000, United upset the Maroons’ unbroken home record. It was indeed a game of thrills, the 12,092 expecting a rousing game were far from disappointed. What a tussle this promotion battle was! With just a quarter of an hour left, and still no scoring, it was finely balanced. Then, Gentles, with a nicely placed header, gave Arbroath the lead. But nine minutes from time, Cameron caused gloom in their camp by netting from a hotlydisputed penalty for United’s deserved equalised. A draw would have been a satisfactory result, but Duncan Hutchison decided otherwise, and an acute-angled shot sent league leaders United supporters away riotously happy.

Lennart Wing …scored what proved to be the winning goal.

The proverbial game of two halves as Scandinavianinspired United stylishly swept into a two-goal lead courtesy of Finn Døssing on 13 minutes and Lennart Wing after 33 minutes. Felix McGrogan pulled one back with around 20 minutes left and, hard as Saints tried, they were unable to muster a leveller that perhaps their improved second-half display deserved.

We recorded our biggest win of the season in fine style, despite going behind to a Paul Chalmers goal in three minutes. J Alan Irvine deservedly levelled eight minutes later and with just over half an hour gone it was game set and match with goals from Hamish French, Irvine again and Dave Bowman striking the fourth. For good measure, Iain Ferguson scored a fifth five minutes into the second half.

1996 - ST MIRREN 1-3 DUNDEE UTD | LEAGUE (FIRST DIVISION)

The club’s decision to subsidise coach travel for United fans saw around 2,000 make the journey to Love Street and their vocal encouragement went well rewarded as United had three vital points in their pocket by the interval. Indeed, Robbie Winters struck after ten minutes and Andy McLaren was on target three minutes later. Substitute Brian Smith’s own goal brought the third. Saints’ only response was Barry McLaughlin’s 56th-minute counter as United ran out comfortable winners.
