1994–95 Dundee United F.C. season


The 1994–95 season was the 83rd year of football played by Dundee United, and covers the period from July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995. United finished in bottom place and were relegated to the First Division, their first spell outside the Premier Division since its inception in 1975.

Season review

United were relegated, the season after winning the Scottish Cup for the first time. Ivan Golac, the man who led them to the trophy, was sacked in March and replaced with Billy Kirkwood. Kirkwood's record was less than impressive and losing nine of the final eleven games meant relegation.
