It's a first Tayside tussle in just over two years as the Premiership returns with a bang on the opening weekend.They are only 200 yards away from each other - but they have been a league apart for the last two seasons.It's one of the country's best fixtures and a mouthwatering meeting of two fierce rivals is a treat as they look to provide the first goal of the season in the top flight after a couple of goalless draws on the first day of the campaign.
Jordan McGhee rattles one back to his keeper on the turn but luckily for him, the shotstopper is switched on and reads it well.Dundee have a promising attack on down the left but United's right centre-back is out to cut it off at source - and to rapturous applause. After a blood and thunder start, it seems even the players are taking a minute to catch their breath.
Tony Docherty says Dundee need to get the balance right between 'fire and ice' to get the result they want today.There's a bit of spice to it but it's important we get the balance right between fire and ice - ice in the head and fire in the belly. Simon Murray is back at his old hunting ground and, with four goals to his name already in the League Cup group stage, he'll be looking to get his league tally off the ground today.That's the question Dundee United fans are asking after his absence from the teamsheet!
Nicky Clark and Charlie Mulgrew had the hosts cruising in that one before Danny Mullen and Charlie Adam fired back, then-United boss Tam Courts branding it a 'frustrating' result.
