The goal that clinched Dundee United’s place in the Active Nation Scottish Cup semi-finals may have been scrappy but it was celebrated like no other this season.
The home fans went wild when, with just a minute of regulation time to go, David Robertson somehow bundled the ball home to secure their place in the last four against Raith Rovers at Hampden on Sunday, April 11.
The result marks a terrific turnaround for the Tangerines, who less than three months ago were being hammered 7-1 at Ibrox in the league.
Of course, they were also 3-1 behind in the first cup game at the Glasgow stadium 10 days ago, showing great character to come back to earn this replay.
To dig in and win in at the death last night against a team that looks certain to lift the SPL championship and have just clinched the Co-operative Insurance Cup is a great achievement and manager Peter Houston was beaming as he reflected on a wonderful evening for him and his team.For Ian Roache’s full match report, including reaction from both teams, see today’s Courier.
