What a difference a year can make, certainly in the case of Steven Pressley. Wind back 12 months and he was a man very much up against it, having to win over a large proportion of the Dundee support who were, let's say, sceptical about his surprise appointment as head coach. As last season went on, he assembled a side that got better and better, in terms of results and style of football on their way to an eighth place Premiership finish.
Five of the past six Scottish Premiership matches between Heart of Midlothian and Dundee United have been won by the away side, the exception a 1-1 draw at Tynecastle in November 2025. The last home win in this fixture was by Hearts in February 2023 (3-1). Dundee United are unbeaten in three away games against Hearts in the Scottish Premiership (W2 D1), facing a different Hearts manager each time (Steven Naismith, Neil Critchley, Derek McInnes).
This will be Derek McInnes' first competitive game as Rangers boss. The last manager to lose their first top-flight league match in charge of the club was Graeme Murty in February 2017 (2-1 v Dundee), with 11 Rangers bosses avoiding defeat in their debut since (W8 D3). McInnes has only lost one of his past 15 Scottish Premiership games against Dundee United (W8 D6), a 4-0 defeat with Kilmarnock in November 2022.

Midfielder Mallan, 30, started his career at St Mirren and subsequently played for Barnsley, Hibernian, Yeni Malatyaspor, Salford City and St Johnstone. "Right now, he's a trialist," McLeish said following Saturday's 4-0 Premier Sports Cup Group C win at Cove.
Prince Abdullah asserts he is still owed £35mShares allegedly transferred to new companyThe English Football League is investigating allegations that Sheffield United’s owner, the American investment group COH Sports, has formed a new parent company for the club to avoid paying £35m owed to the previous owner, Prince Abdullah.COH Sports, led by Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy, agreed a deal to buy United from the Saudi Arabian for about £100m in December 2024 and paid the first instalment of about £30m shortly after, but is alleged to have been late in paying the second instalment and missed two subsequent payments due this year. Abdullah’s investment vehicle, United World, issued a winding-up petition in the high court against COH Sports this week and has taken its concerns to the EFL and the Independent Football Regulator.

Dundee United have sent striker Owen Stirton to Ayr United on a season-long loan, with manager Jim Goodwin stressing the need for the 19-year-old to play regular first-team football.

Now he returns to the second tier with Ayr under new head coach Gary Naysmith.
