United took the lead only a couple of minutes after Hamish McAlpine had denied Frank McDougall who had broken clear. Paul Sturrock controlled a knock down from John Holt, before wriggling past two defenders and despatching the ball past Money. Two goals in the space of as many minutes changed the complexion of the game, however.
Saints equalised when Frank McDougall headed in an inswinging corner and then Drew Jarvie picked up the return from a neat one-two to fire home from the edge of the box. United's equaliser came three minutes from the break when Dave Narey's volley was deflected past the scrambling Campbell Money.

No league table has been added for this season.
The number of matches left after our exit from Europe and losing the League title, have ensured us a hectic finish to the season. At the tune of writing, we have recorded victories over Motherwell and St Mirren and I am pleased with the way players have lifted themselves following the disappointment of Rome, for make no mistake, if you, the supporters were disappointed at the result in Rome, the players were even more so. At this point I would like to thank everybody who wrote to the club following our tie with Roma. It appears that there are far more supporters who are realistic about praising the achievements of reaching the semi-finals, because of the many letters, only two were critical. If I could turn back the clock, and it is easy in hindsight to say, the best move I made was dropping players for the match at Motherwell. It is something I should have done earlier this term.
This has been a difficiilt season for me personally with all that has happened, and more importantly there are no trophies at Tannadice. We have been let down by inconsistency and also my loyalty to them for winning the League last year. It is vitally important that the players and everybody else is aware that the championship winning side will seldom play together again. It has been a disappwntment to me that injury has prevented players like Dave Beaumont and Jimmy Page the chance to stake a first team place for next season in our remaining games. Now they may have to claim a place from half a game in the new term. AIex Taylor, too, wasn't available through illness last week but he» hopefully, will be available before the end of the season. For the second time in six days we play host to St Mirren, and whilst they have had a rest in midweek, we were in action at Ibrox on Wednesday making it more difficult for us to achieve the double victory over the Paisley side.
