It’s a mixed bag for Twa Teams this week.
And we’re low on bodies, too.
First up is Dundee’s excellent win over Motherwell at Dens Park – who stood out and are the Dark Blues safe from relegation now?
Then there’s United’s night to forget at Falkirk on Friday – who keeps carrying the team and what does it mean for Jim Goodwin?
Just two faces for this Monday edition as George Cran and Graeme Finnan discuss a big weekend on the street. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

It’s a huge week for Dundee United and they’ve got off to a fine start with Tuesday’s victory over St Mirren.
We look back at the 2-1 victory, some strange, strange goals and how the Tangerines are shaping up to face Falkirk in the Scottish Cup quarter-final on Friday.
Two men are suspended but who will be key?
Dundee are out of the cup but have a crucial contest of their own as they welcome high-flying Motherwell to Dens Park.
Can the Dark Blues upset the odds? And do they deserve to have more points on the board?
Just three talking heads this week as Courier Sport writers George Cran and Alan Temple are joined by ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Quality Cam’s big target and Jonny Russell is coming HOME
Monday Mar 02, 2026
Monday Mar 02, 2026
Dundee played out a 3-3 thriller against Hibernian at Dens Park.
The guys chew over a breathless contest, spotlighting the likes of Simon Murray, Tony Yogane and Luke Graham.
However, it was Cam Congreve who had the final word with a magnificent late leveller – and he wants even more.
At United, all the talk is about Johnny Russell after Courier Sport broke the story of his impending return to Tannadice (barring any late hitches) on Monday morning.
We discuss why Russell, aged 35, could still prove to be an inspired signing for the Terrors.
On the pitch, we look back on defeat at Motherwell – from Vicko Sevelj being caught on the grainy cameras of Fir Park to the intriguing squad rotation.
And what is an acceptable result against St Mirren on Tuesday, given the looming Scottish Cup quarter-final against Falkirk?
Alan Temple and George Cran, The Courier’s Dundee United and Dundee correspondents, respectively, are joined by ex-Evening Telegraph sports editor Graeme Finnan this fine Monday. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Dundee United face Fir Park Globetrotters and Dundee’s Scotland hopefuls
Thursday Feb 26, 2026
Thursday Feb 26, 2026
There’s no rest for Dundee United in the most hectic portion of the campaign.
The team pick the bones out of a turgid game against Aberdeen at Tannadice – and analyse why the surface is in such a state, and what comes next for it.
We discuss the relationship between the United hierarchy and the Ultras following statement and counter-statement this week, before looking ahead to an onerous challenge at Fir Park.
Across the road, Steven Pressley reckons Ethan Hamilton should be in the conversation for Scotland.
Is he right? And how many other Ethan Hamiltons are waiting to be unearthed south of the border?
Pressley has plenty of options following a worthwhile bounce game in midweek, while Joe Westley could be back to face Hibs.
The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton is in the hot-seat, joined by United correspondent Alan Temple and former Evening Telegraph sports editor Graeme Finnan. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Dundee’s jobby juggernaut and deep impact for United
Monday Feb 23, 2026
Monday Feb 23, 2026
Dundee are celebrating a first Pittodrie win against Aberdeen in 22 years.
“Not bad for a jobby team,” to paraphrase Steven Pressley.
We pick the bones out of a thriller in the Granite City as Ethan Hamilton’s burgeoning reputation continues to grow. Will summer suitors start to take notice of the in-form midfielder?
And the Dark Blues are tipped for a push to finish as top of the bottom-six after the split.
At Tannadice, Dundee United endured yet more last-minute pain as Marley Watkins rescued a 1-1 draw for Kilmarnock.
Despite the Tangerines turning in a largely fine display and grabbing the lead through an Amar Fatah wondergoal, it is now TWENTY Premiership points dropped from winning positions.
Who is to blame for handing the initiative to the visitors after a game in which United had complete control prior to the opener?
And we discuss Emmanuel Agyei’s debut and Tuesday’s clash with “in flux” Aberdeen.
It’s a two-man band this Monday as Alan Temple is joined by former Evening Telegraph sports editor Graeme Finnan. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Dundee United’s red card mistake and Luke Graham latest
Thursday Feb 19, 2026
Thursday Feb 19, 2026
The flurry of fixtures for Dundee United is well under way – two wins from two has seen things go to plan.
But there have been bumps in the road including a controversial red card for Iurie Iovu against The Spartans – was it a sending off? And should United have appealed?
Plus what to expect from Kilmarnock on Saturday.
Meanwhile, it’s been quieter for Dundee but interest in star defender Luke Graham continues to bubble away – the guys discuss the latest on that front.
And look ahead to a bogey fixture against Aberdeen.
Hosting in the studio is Sean Hamilton alongside Courier Sport writers Alan Temple and George Cran and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

United joy for Julius as Dundee feel Lions’ bite
Monday Feb 16, 2026
Monday Feb 16, 2026
Dundee United ended their four-game losing run in the Premiership in dramatic fashion with a 3-2 victory over 10-man Falkirk.
What does the winning goal mean for United’s forgotten man Julius Eskesen?
We discuss the contentious red card shown to Liam Henderson and the performance of Craig Sibbald; a man who is out of contract in the summer and will have no shortage of suitors.
And there’s no rest for the wicked, with a Scottish Cup showdown against The Spartans up next.
Across the road, Simon Murray ended his 18-game goalless streak with a deadly double against Livingston.
However, the Dark Blues somehow endeavoured to throw away their 2-0 advantage against rock-bottom Lions. Again.
We pick the bones out of a bonkers first half at Dens and ask: what was Jon McCracken thinking?
And does the form of Kilmarnock – even after their agonising defeat against Celtic – mean Dundee are still looking over their shoulders ahead of a testing run of games?
In place for this Monday edition are Courier Sport’s Dundee United writer Alan Temple, Dundee FC writer George Cran and former Evening Telegraph sports editor Graeme Finnan. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Dundee drought and the Tesco Tangerines
Thursday Feb 12, 2026
Thursday Feb 12, 2026
Another Premiership fixture, another blank drawn for Dundee. Four on the spin.
But the 1-0 defeat at Falkirk for the goal-shy Dee was a particularly galling one, with Yan Dhanda missing a 96th minute penalty. How does Steven Pressley get them firing?
Meanwhile, Pressley reckons the Dark Blues are still deep in the relegation scrap. Is he right?
Another postponement for Dundee United. What next? And will the SPFL start to take interest in the repeated call-offs?
On the pitch, Nikolaj Moller is offski after just six months. We take a proper look and the pros and cons of United’s recruitment process.
With new arrival Emmanuel Agyei making his mark, will he make his debut at Falkirk – as United seek to do better against the Bairns than Dundee.
Also, why the bottom six may not be ALL bad for clubs on both sides of the street.
Back in our Meadowside studio are Courier Sport writer Alan Temple, former Evening Telegraph sports editor Graeme Finnan and The Courier’s head of sport Sean Hamilton. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Brutal stuff for Dundee at Celtic but what was it like at Parkhead?
And who stood out?
There’s also a massive game to come on Wednesday at Falkirk.
Will United be playing that night too? Game off on Saturday and weather doesn’t look promising.
What does that all mean for the Tangerines season?
Tuning in from home are Courier Sport writers Alan Temple and George Cran alongside former Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

im Goodwin was furious after seeing his Dundee United side throw away a lead late on at Hibs.
What does that mean for his future at Tannadice? And what is going wrong for the Tangerines?
Next up is a must-win cup tie against lower league The Spartans – how important a game is that?
Dundee had no match after their Motherwell clash was postponed.
What does that mean for the weekend trip to Celtic in the Scottish Cup?
And what will the new boys bring?
