    Sunday, January 1st, 1995

  • Debut - Dundee United 4 - 0 Aberdeen

    United s biggest win of the season to date enabled them to leap-frog Aberdeen into fourth place. Robbie Winters opened the scoring after Walker directed the ball to him after slipping as he took a goal kick. Two headers from Steven Pressley in the space of 12 minutes early in the second half killed off the visitors and Kjell Olofsson whipped in a fourth for his first goal at Tannadice. The only saving grace for Aberdeen was that it could have been quite easily more!

    Wednesday, January 1st, 1997

  • First Goal - Aberdeen 1 - 3 Dundee United

    Three superb strikes killed off our north-east opponents. Robbie Winters first half opener was negated by Windass early in the second period but a magnificenfly worked and executed goal by Craig Easton soon restored United's lead. From that point there was no way back for the Dons and Robbie Winters sealed victory with a stunning third.

    Wednesday, October 15th, 1997

  • Last Goal - Dundee United 3 - 0 Dunfermline

    Boss Ian McCall fielded a side with only two personnel changes from the team which went down to Aberdeen at Pittodrie in the SPL game two weeks ago. Mark Wilson was out through injury and Billy Dodds on the bench. Jamie McCunnie and Russell Latapy, the latter making his Dundee United debut, take their places. Gary Bollan was wearing the captain’s armband.
