one week after Dundee United hit the top of the
table for the first time, after crushing Kilmarnock
4-0 at Tannadice. Despite Hamish McAlpine having
to go off through injury (and being deputised in

handed a tough opening tie against RC Lens of France.
United were fortunate to come back from the away
leg with only a 1-0 deficit and in the return leg
at Tannadice were frustrated for an hour as all

was great excitement when the draw for the quarterfinals
brought Barcelona to Tannadice, in a repeat of the
Fairs Cup contest of 1966. With four minutes on
the clock, Kevin Gallacher's "shot" flew over Zubizaretta
in the Barcelona goal to give United an early lead.
A controlled United performance saw the game finish
1-0, but would it be enough to take to Spain...? |

between the two massive Uefa Cup ties against Barcelona,
Dundee United faced near neighbours Forfar Athletic
in a Scottish Cup quarter final tie at Tannadice.
An easy victory surely...or maybe not. 2-1 down
with seconds to go, United are thrown a lifeline
when awarded a penalty for handball and Iain Ferguson
keeps United in the competition. Not exactly a great
warm up for heading to the Nou Camp! |

Gothenburg scored an all important away goal early
on with a counter attack, and although United threw
everything they had left at them, they could do
no more than equalise the tie on the night, with
a superb finish from John Clark, and Gothenburg
won the trophy 2-1 on aggregate. |
