The last time United lost to the side that finished the season bottom was against Dunfermline back in August 2011 (they were bottom in 2011/12). Full record of the 43 games against the bottom side ⬇️

This is the first time United have finished 7th since 1997/98. Since the top flight adopted the current 12 team format in 2000/01 the only position between 3rd-12th that United have not finished in is 10th.

Johnny Russell starts his first Dundee United game in 13 years this evening.

Dundee United have won their past five league games against sides starting the day bottom of the Scottish Premiership. Livingston are looking to avoid losing to United three times in a row in the top flight for the first time. WhoScored preview: whoscored.com/matches/197788…

Today's results mean that Dundee clubs will play in the same league for 3 consecutive seasons for the first time since spending 7 seasons together between 1998/99-2004/05.

Aberdeen are unbeaten in nine (W5 D4) Scottish Premiership meetings with Dundee United at Pittodrie since a 3-0 defeat in August 2014.
But the Terrors are unbeaten in six league meetings with the Dons (W3 D3) since October 2024. WhoScored preview: whoscored.com/matches/197787…

Dundee last beat United by more than 2 goals 26 years ago (3-0 in September 2000). United have dished out doings to Dundee by more than 2 goals on 7️⃣ occasions since 2012 (6-2 twice, 4-1 & 3-0 x 4 times).

Will Ferry is the first player to open the scoring in 3 consecutive games at Tannadice since Lawrence Shankland in September/October 2019.

@Mike34775 Kilmarnock and St Mirren cannot both reach 40 points.

@DufcStats Yeah they can. 10 points ahead, 12 to play for

United are confirmed safe this afternoon as it is not possible for both Kilmarnock and St Mirren to reach 40 points.

@TheBoldBuddie Yes we are as St Mirren play Kilmarnock. Kilmarnock need to win in to reach 40. Which would involve beating St Mirren reducing their maximum points to 39.

@shedheds Including Hegarty it's 20 departures. 14/20 sacked. 4 resigned (Sturrock, Levein, Neilson & Courts). 2 left by mutual consent (Houston & Mellon).

@DufcStats How many were sacked/punted?

Jim Goodwin today becomes Dundee United's longest serving manager since Jim McLean. He is the 20th permanent United manager since Jim McLean.

Goodwin is actually the 21st manager. I missed Paul Hegarty's 3 month & 23 day stint in 2002-03.

United have won 3 home Premiership games in a row for the first time since September/October 2021.
