THE GAFFER
Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to Tannadice!
I thought we showed great resilience throughout the course of the game last weekend. If I recall I think Jack Walton had one good save in the first half, but other than that, he’s not had much to do. We’ve hit the bar a couple of times and all in all, I think we deserved to progress.
Defensively we want to pride ourselves on being a difficult team to beat. We feel the three league goals we’ve conceded were all avoidable and we shot ourselves in the foot. We have to learn quickly and eradicate the mistakes
but last week’s Premier Sports Cup result gives us a good platform coming into this afternoon’s match. I think if we can build on that then the
We’re fortunate enough to have an abundance of talent, energy and flair but it’s important to have some steady heads and guys who have been around the block and know what it takes to perform at the level. I still feel there’s more to come from the whole group.
I think St Johnstone are a really good side. They have a real freshness around them and I think their signings have added some quality. The front two are a real handful and
we will have to deal with the threat they pose.
I was looking forward to seeing Sam McLelland until he got that unfortunate injury against Aberdeen. I am sure I speak on behalf of everyone involved with the club in wishing him a speedy recovery - he played a huge role in our promotion last season.
Your support so far this season has been tremendous and I look forward to seeing you all this afternoon!
I hope you all enjoy the game!
- Jim Goodwin

OUR GLOBETROTTERS
JORT VAN DER SANDE
BONAIRE
Since pledging allegiance to the exotic Caribbean island in which he spent the majority of his childhood, the industrious frontman has been capped three times by Bonaire boss Rilove Janga.
Our number 20 grabbed his first goal contribution for United during the aforementioned tussle with Dundee, unselfishly teeing up fellow summer signing Trapanovski to
break the deadlock on Matchday One.
van der Sande will be aiming to get off the mark for his country as they enter their fifth CONCACAF Nations League campaign. He is set to line up in clashes with Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Friday 6 September, and El Salvador, Monday 9 September.
Four of our first-team stars have been selected to represent their national teams throughout September’s international break.
KRISTIJAN TRAPANOVSKI
NORTH MACEDONIA
Following his arrival from FK Shkupi in June, our number seven hit the ground running immediately upon the commencement of competitive action.
Trapanovski netted twice during the Premier Sports Cup Group Stage, also complimenting his strikes with three assists, before thundering home the first goal of the 2024/25 William Hill Premiership season against our city rivals on the opening weekend of the term.
Despite frequently representing his homeland in various UEFA youth competitions, he is accepting his first callup to the senior side.
Macedonia begin their assault on Nations League Group L with a trip to the Faroe Islands on Saturday 7 September,
then welcome Armenia to the Toše Proeski Arena three days later. All three matches will be shown live on Premier Sports.
DAVID BABUNSKI
NORTH MACEDONIA
The other half of our electric Macedonian duo, Babunski, is a seasoned veteran on the international stage, having made his competitive senior bow over a decade ago - coincidentally against a Scotland squad featuring our 2010 Scottish Cup-winning hero and Hall of Famer Craig Conway.
Since, he has gone on to be included in eight squads for major tournament qualification campaigns. The 30-yearold’s most recent appearance for Blagoja Milevski’s side came at Wembley in June 2023.
Like his compatriot, Babunski has been a smash hit in the city of Discovery, and is yet to taste defeat in a tangerine jersey having made seven appearances to date.
The midfielder will also
go shoulder-to-shoulder in battle with his brother, Dorian, who leads the line for Swiss outfit Grasshopper Club Zurich.
Trapanovski and Babunski are the first United players to be included in the same international squad since Garry Kenneth and Scott Robertson in 2010.
RICHARD ODADA
KENYA
Despite being the youngest United player to jet off on national duty next month, Odada is the most experienced at international level, already boasting 17 Kenya caps aged just 23.
Furthermore, he has being named in the starting XI for the Harambee Stars’ last 11 consecutive matches, with 1,000 minutes of action.
Kenya begin their quest to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations by hosting Zimbabwe on Wednesday 4 September, before heading south for a joust with Namibia on Tuesday 10 September.

ALMOST AHEAD
It was almost the perfect start for the men in white and tangerine as we set our sights inside the opening 20 seconds.
It was Miller Thomson who was on the front foot from the off, pressing Will Nightingale and steering the ball into the path of Jort Van Der Sande. Showing composure, our number 9 skipped past the onrushing Ross Laidlaw before squaring the ball across the face for Thomson, who could only blast over on his weaker left foot.
A STRONG HAND
Not the most fruitful of habits, we gave up our fourth penalty in as many matches when Craig Napier pointed to the spot just after 23 minutes.
With possession just outside the area, Jack Walton was equal to an effort from distance effort but couldn’t gain full control, bringing down Ronan Hale on the follow-up as he looked to claw the ball back into his arms.
There was a quick VAR check before Eamonn Brophy stepped up and took aim for the bottom left corner, but United’s number 1 was down low with a strong hand to keep the score level.
IN THE LEAD
United this time made their strong start count, hitting the front less than three minutes into the second half.
Will Ferry was at the heart of the move, picking up a loose ball and driving past no less than three County
players and into the box. His setback into the area found David Babunski on the penalty spot and he swept the ball home on his weaker left foot to send the United fans into raptures behind the goal.
A SUCKER PUNCH
Deep into seven additional minutes, Hale levelled the tie as he turned home Alex Samuel’s cross from close range.
Despite the late disappointment, a draw was probably a fair reflection of the afternoon.

STALEMATE STARTS
We sit with two William Hill Premiership points after our first two league outings – although it could have been much more!
An exhilarating derby in which the goals were shared followed by a late sucker punch in Dingwall means this season has got off to an unfamiliar start!
In fact, the exact opposite, so much so you must go back almost a quarter of a century – 2001/02 to be precise – to find the last time our first two league games ended without a decisive result.
Curiously enough, that season started with a Tannadice derby, which like last week, also finished in a 2-2 draw, but
only thanks to Jim Hamilton’s last-gasp header earning us a point.
The following week, there was a goalless stalemate at Motherwell before a third successive draw was avoided by Danny Griffin scoring the only goal of the game against his former club St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park.
Yet, only four years earlier, there had been a similar scenario, season 199798 beginning with a 1-1 draw away to St Johnstone where a Stewart McKimmie own goal cancelled out Kjell Olofsson’s 11th-minute opener. And in the following fixture at home to Hibs, Robbie Winters’ opener was negated by a late Paul Tosh strike.
Ten years earlier, 1987-88 season started with two draws – Rangers (away) and Motherwell (home).
But if you head a little bit further back, season 1980-81 began with a hattrick of draws. A 2-each draw with Kilmarnock at home was followed by 1-1 scorelines away to Aberdeen and back at Tannadice when Morton were the visitors. Remarkably, a treble of stalemates had occurred just two years previously!
FOCUS ON ST JOHNSTONE
Finishing in tenth position last season, our Perth neighbours only avoided the dreaded relegation play-off by virtue of having a superior goal difference to Ross County.
An overhaul of the playing squad in the summer however, has seen a much improved group of players recruited and the 3-0 thumping of Kilmarnock a fortnight ago shows the potential for a far better season this time out.
Progression from their Premier Sports League Cup section saw them meet Rangers last weekend in the last sixteen but slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Hampden.
United will be looking to go one better today, after not winning a home league meeting with the Saints in over 10 years.
The former Scotland boss will always be fondly remembered at Tannadice after the work he did restructuring the footballing set-up at the club. And, after years of struggling, United finished fifth in both of his two full seasons here, reached the 2008 League Cup and, when he left in December 2009, the foundations were set for that season’s third-place finish and Scottish Cup glory.
Moving into management after injury forced a premature end to his playing career, he transformed a stagnant Cowdenbeath side before taking the manager’s job at Hearts before having spells at Leicester City and Raith Rovers before arriving at Tannadice. He left Tayside for the national team in 2009.
A return to Tynecastle as Director of Football, then manager, preceded a consultancy role at Brechin City before his appointment at St Johnstone in November of last year.
THE GAFFER CRAIG LEVEIN
ONE TO WATCH
BENJAMIN KIMPIOKA
The Swedish-born striker joined Saints from our old European foes AIK Stockholm back in January, signing an eighteen-month contract.
Whilst he didn’t exactly set McDiarmid Park alight last term with just three goals from eighteen appearances, he has certainly announced himself this season! Six goals in seven matches from the former Sunderland youth sees him lead the club scoring charts.
Capped at U19 and U21 levels, the six-foot frontman is a physically imposing figure and is beginning to forge a strike partnership with Adama Sidibeh which promises to end Saints’ never-ending goal-scoring problems.
JACK SANDERS enjoyed an impressive three-month loan spell with Ayr United at the end of last season. The 25-year-old, who began his career in the Wigan youth set up, was released by Kilmarnock in the summer. The 6’4” colossus scored his first Saints goal in the League Cup tie with Alloa.
JOSH RAE will be hoping to erase memories of his last visit here when he was beaten from the halfway line by Kai Fotheringham whilst representing Airdrie . The 23-year-old goalkeeper signed a twoyear deal in the summer and has been an everpresent since arriving.
AARON ESSEL penned a three-year after departing
Ghanaian side Bechem United. The 19-year-old defender/midfielder was sent off in the defeat at Alloa in his third match but has featured in both Premiership matches so far.
ANDRE RAYMOND is predominantly, a leftback but can also operate as a midfielder/winger. Capped nine times by Trinidad & Tobago, the 23-year-old possesses blistering pace and joins from Portuguese side Vilar de Perdizes.
MAKENZIE KIRK a U19 Northern Ireland international who was prolific in the Lowland League for Hearts B.
JOSH MCPAKE signed a two year deal following
his release by Stirling Albion. The 22-year-old Coatbridge born winger is a Rangers youth product.
UCHE IKPEAZU played under Levein whilst at Hearts and his return north from Port Vale sees them reunited. The much-travelled 29-year-old striker is now at his fourteenth club, having begun his career at Reading.
KYLE CAMERON AND LEWIS NEILSON have both been brought in on loan for the season, from Notts County and Hearts respectively, to bolster Saints’ defensive options.
PLAYED FOR BOTH
a United player in his three years at Tannadice was not insignificant adding much-needed experience to United’s young emerging team.
Originally signed by Rangers, he spent two seasons with the Ibrox club but never got past the third team.
by taking him to Stirling Albion. However, his Annfield stint was short and far from sweet. The defender made only six appearances, scoring once for the Binos who were proving cannon fodder in the First Division on course for relegation.
His switch to Perth a few months later in a swap deal that saw Bruce Munro move to Annfield was the catalyst to being a member of Willie Ormond’s tremendously successful side. And the Scotland manager to-be highly influential in his development, not just as a player, but also when his playing days were over.
But that is jumping the gun… as the robust defender played a vital part as the Saints enjoyed one of the most successful periods in their history.
Ironically, his debut for St Johnstone was in a goalless draw against Stirling Albion at Annfield in December 1967.
That was one of halfa-dozen appearances and it was to be another two before Alex firmly established himself as a regular in the Saints defence.
In fact, it was two former Tannadice men who kept him out of the side which contested the 1969-70 League Cup final - Benny Rooney and Alan Gordon were the cornerstones to the defence.
Virtually from then on, the tough-as-teak defender established himself in the heart of Saints rearguard, subsequently skippering the sides.
In season 1970-71, Saints finished third in the First Division thereby qualifying for the first ever Uefa Cup (previously known as the Fairs Cup) and Alex figured in all six ties in which Saints took part – S V Hamburg, Vsas Budapest and Zeljeznicar Sarajevo.
Given that he skippered Saints and helped them secure a place in the new Premier League set up Saints had made just over 250 appearances for them in his eight years at Muirton, he was surprisingly released in 1975 still aged only 26.
It came as no surprise to the player, however, as he had enjoyed an uneasy relationship with new manager Jackie Stewart.
What was Saints’ loss was our gain. Jim McLean, who had already snapped up Henry Hall, also recently released by Saints, was quick to sign up his former team-mate.
The Tannadice boss was looking for the duo to add greater depth to a firstteam squad of which 17 were under 22 and four in their thirties.
As Rennie was equally at
home in midfield or in the back four, he comfortably boosted competition for places.
By sheer coincidence two of his first three games wearing tangerine were against his former club, one of which was on the opening day of the Premier Division which Saints won 2-0.
He played his part in helping United avoid dropping out of the Premier Division and was a regular in the squad for the three seasons in which he made 88 appearances, scoring once – in 2-1 home defeat to Porto in the UEFA Cup. He soon established a central defensive partnership with a budding youngsterDave Narey. However, in the second half of that season, he lost his place and spent most of the time in the reserves.
As luck would have it, Jackie Copland was in dispute with the Club at the start of season 197677 and with Alan Forsyth suspended and Doug Houston injured, Alex was recalled and brilliantly marshalled a defence which only conceded eight goals in their first ten games.
Unfortunately, in the next game at Celtic Park, Alex was taken off injured early on in the match and
without him, Celtic went on to win 5-1.
Some six weeks elapsed before he was able to return in a 5-1 win at Partick Thistle, the starting point for a tenmatch run in the side until injury again struck, restricting him to just two appearances in the last 14 games of the season.
Sadly, an eye injury sustained in April 1978 forced him into early retirement from the playing side, having featured in 88 games in which he found the net once.
It was then that Willie Ormond again changed the course of Alex’s career, taking him to Tynecastle as a coach in January 1980. After Ormond was sacked, he briefly became caretaker manager.
Soon afterwards, he returned to Saints taking over from Alex Stuart as manager, then a parttime position, guiding them back to the Premier Division in 1982.
He left after five years at the helm, returning to the game in 1987 as manager of Stenhousemuir for a couple of years, continuing to run his pub near to Falkirk, and latterly, he had a driving school.
QUICK 50
Last season, Jack Walton was an ever-present as the club clinched the Championship title. So, little wonder everyone at Tannadice was so delighted he agreed on a second season-long loan from EFL Championship outfit Luton Town.
Upon his arrival from the Hatters last summer, Walton quickly cemented himself as a fans’ favourite thanks to his dependability between the sticks. Last term, the Englishman played every single competitive minute available to him - his final total standing at 3,990. A club record of 19 clean sheets in 36 second-tier appearances contributed greatly to the Terrors’ Championship title triumph, bettering legendary stopper Billy Thomson’s 1986/87 haul by one solitary shutout.
Furthermore, no other side in the entirety of the Scottish and English professional pyramids could match United’s remarkable defensive shrewdness, with Walton conceding a mere 23 league goals throughout 2023/24. During the opening three months of the season, he only had to pluck the ball out of his net four times.
A man for the big occasion, the 26-yearold’s best performance of the campaign came on Matchday 35 as he produced a stunning string of saves against Airdrieonians to ensure his side garnered the point needed to rubber-stamp their status as Champions. As a result, Walton earned himself a place in the SPFL Team of the Week.
Walton himself admitted, ‘I’m delighted to finally get the deal done - as soon as last season finished, the discussions started. «We had great success last year, both personally and collectively, and I felt like I had some unfinished business up here with us getting promoted. I wanted a taste of the Premiership’.
That wish became a reality in the opening league game against Dundee and, after being just two minutes away from a first top-flight clean sheet at Ross County, he would dearly love to celebrate the landmark of his 50th appearance with shut-out number 25.
And given that record represents one clean sheet in every two games, a ratio none of the 11 Tannadice shot-stoppers ahead of him come anywhere near!

FINDING OUR FEET
It took us the best part of ten minutes to get a real foothold in the game, the hosts going close early on as Alex Iacovitti forced Jack Walton into a strong save.
Craig Sibbald almost broke the deadlock ten minutes in as the ball broke to our number 14 on the edge of the area, but his effort crashed off the crossbar.
Walton was again forced into action, tipping a looping header over the bar to keep the score level.
GLANCING GRAHAM
Our number 6 caused confusion inside the area when his powerful long throw evaded everyone and came back off the
crossbar - eventually being turned behind for a corner. A sign of things to come, Will Ferry’s wicked in-swinging delivery was met by Graham but he could only find the side netting.
The opener eventually came on 34 minutes by the same feat, as this time Graham’s glancing header was inch-perfect to find the far corner.
From then on out, it was a relatively comfortable conclusion to the half as we went in a goal to the good at the break.
ALMOST TWO
There was little action of note in the opening second-half exchanges.
Graham and Ferry were both cautioned on either side of Olutoyosi Olusanya also seeing yellow for
simulation inside the United penalty area.
We made our first change on 67 minutes, Louis Moult was on in place of Jort van der Sande.
It almost paid off five minutes later as a delightful through ball from Trapanovski found Moult racing through down the left. Aware of his surroundings, he chopped inside and let fly but his effort crashed off the bar and was cleared off the line!
SEEING IT OUT
Despite a late scare following a penalty area stramash, we were comfortable in the end to secure our place in the Quarter Final against Motherwell at Fir Park.

LEITH ATHLETIC 2-0
DUNDEE HIBS

A second defeat of the season befell United, though they were a tad unlucky to do so. Leith went ahead just before the interval when Simpson sunk a dubious penalty. And the hosts didn’t’ wrap up the points until Cameron headed a second late on.

DUNDEE UTD 3-1 MORTON

Around 10,000 saw United deservedly win this battle of the two promoted clubs. All the goals came in the first half during which Jimmy Brownlee’s side had the benefit of a strong breeze. Johnny Hart scored the opener from close range. Then Jimmy Cameron converted a spot-kick after Hunter had handled with Duncan Hutchison, being watched by representatives of Newcastle United, scored his side’s third goal in the space of 12 minutes. Lyle netted for the visitors.

Our first post-war meeting with Hibs was memorable, drawing a record Tannadice crowd of 17,700 for the return of First Division football after 28 years. United led 3-0 by halftime with goals from Eric Walker (10’, 43’) and Tommy McLeod (15’), though it could have been more. Despite tiring in the second half, allowing Hibs a consolation goal, United’s performance matched the occasion.
1985
DUNDEE UTD 2-0 DUNDEE PREMIER DIVISION
The first derby match of the season produced one of the tamer affairs. However, in the end, there
was no doubt that United deserved their first League victory of the season. United eventually went ahead on 27 minutes, Davie Dodds nodded down a cross to Stuart Beedie and his first-time shot beat Bobby Geddes. Seven minutes into the second half came the decisive goal. Ian Redford started the move with a through pass to Stuart Beedie. Stuart spurted to the bye-line and crossed for the onrushing Paul Sturrock to hammer the ball low past Geddes.

Stuart Armstrong completed the scoring with the fourth early in the second half.
