Last Meeting
For football supporters it doesnât get much better than knocking your local rivals out of the cup, with the stadium rocking under floodlights. In August 2017 it was the turn of Dundee supporters to revel in derby delirium, as The Dee defeated Dundee United 2-1 in the Betfred Cup. The scoreline looks close but flatters a United side who were second best to the exuberant Dark Blues throughout. Faissal El Bakhtaoui put Dundee ahead with a stunning opener, only for Billy King to give United an equaliser against the run of play late in the first half. That setback didnât unsettle the Dee and Paul McGowan scored a richly deserved winner midway through the second half.
Dundee: Bain, Kerr (c), Waddell, Hendry, Holt, McGowan, Kamara, Deacon (Wolters 75), El Bakhtaoui, Allan (Vincent 84), Haber
Unused subs: Parish (gk), Hateley, Williams, OâHara, Spence.
Goals: El Bakhtaoui (30), McGowan (63).

Dundee Unitedâs Season So Far
United opened their season with a tricky Betfred Cup tie away at Hearts and acquitted themselves well in a 1-1 draw before losing the bonus point in the penalty shoot out.
They followed that up with a 2-1 win over Stenhousemuir and then Unitedâs first home game of the season saw them win 3-0 over Cowdenbeath.
However they crashed out the competition after a 2-0 defeat to East Fife at Tannadice.
On league duty, United have started well with three wins out of three.
