Dundee United FC Season 2004-05
Encyclopedia
The 2004–05 season was the 96th year of football
played by Dundee United
, and covers the period from 2004-07-01 to 2005-06-30. United finished in ninth place which meant the previous season's top-six finish was the only one in the five seasons since the split was introduced.
United finished the 2004–05 SPL season in 9th place with 36 points, in which an eventful final day could have relegated themselves, Livingston
or Dunfermline
, before eventually consigning Dundee
to the drop. United managed only eight wins, with twelve draws and eighteen defeats. Between March and early-April, United lost five consecutive games, although most were to teams who would finish in the top half of the league.
The cup campaigns brought contrasting fortunes. a 7–1 defeat to Rangers
in the League Cup
semi-final was remedied by a fighting display against Celtic
in the Scottish Cup
final, where United lost 1–0. Despite having fewer chances, United had more possession and it took a deflected free-kick to give Celtic the win. Defender Alan Archibald
struck the bar in the final minute as United pushed for an equaliser.
A strong league finish secured United's top-flight status, with four wins from the final seven games, including victories against Rangers
, Hearts
and rivals Dundee
.
as the only pre-season signing, the striker arriving on a Bosman transfer
from relegated Partick Thistle
. First-team regulars Paul Gallacher
and Charlie Miller
left by the same method during the summer, with Scotland
keeper Gallacher heading for Norwich City
and Miller joining Norwegian side SK Brann. Veteran Owen Coyle
also cut short his second Tannadice stay to return to Airdrie Utd. During August, Paul Ritchie and goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld
arrived on six-month deals following releases from Walsall
and Tottenham
respectively. Surprisingly, Grant Brebner
was also allowed to sign for free from fellow SPL side Hibernian
.
A home defeat to derby rivals Dundee
just two games in was not the ideal way to start the season and United managed only one win in August, with a 2–1 home victory over Inverness CT. During August, youngsters Aaron Conway and Karim Kerkar
arrived from Clyde
in early-September but the month brought little to cheer about, with a CIS Insurance Cup
win over Clyde providing the only win.
Into October and the winless streak continued, although a last-minute draw at Rangers
brought some optimism. Another derby defeat in early November was tempered firstly by a CIS Cup quarter-final win over Hibs, then a home league success over Livingston
but more defeats followed and only one more win arrived before Christmas, courtesy of a 3–0 triumph at home to Kilmarnock
.
United entered New Year with no away wins but finally won on the road, thanks to a 4–3 thriller at Gretna
in the Scottish Cup
. The third derby match was drawn 2–2 with Steve Lovell
's late leveller denying United three points, in a game where Nick Colgan
- signed 24 hours previously - was given a debut. February started in dismal fashion, with Colgan's second (and final) match resulting in a 7–1 defeat against Rangers in the CIS Cup semi-final. In a match screened live on BBC Scotland, United rallied from 2–0 down with Jason Scotland
scoring, and had Jim McIntyre's long-range strike not hit both posts and ran along the line at 2–1 down, the game might have been different. United did recover by winning three of the remaining four matches that month, albeit two in the Scottish Cup. Queen of the South
were beaten first, followed by a first away league win at Livingston and then a 4–1 home rout of Aberdeen
in the quarter-final. With the match shown live on Sky Sports
, it was a chance for United to gain television revenge for the Hampden
horror show just three weeks previously.
Aberdeen were back at Tannadice three days later for a league match and won 2–1, starting a run of four straight defeats in March. After Kilmarnock's 3–0 victory, United lay bottom and Ian McCall
was sacked, with Assistant Gordon Chisholm
handed temporary control. Chisholm's first match was a live television affair at home to Celtic and only a Craig Bellamy
hat-trick denied United a point, who equalised twice only to lose 3–2.
United went into April with a league/cup double-header against Hibs and lost the league match 3–2 at Easter Road
to another late goal. The cup semi-final brough cheer, as Jason Scotland
's winner ensured a final appearance in May, along with European football. The buzz from the win carried on, with successive impressive league victories at Rangers and at home to Hearts. A home draw to Livingston brought a blip but a 2–1 derby win at Dens Park
closed the month in style, with caretaker-manager Gordon Chisholm
winning the Manager of the Month award in his first full month in charge.
Into May and a lack of wins scared United fans, with only a home draw against Kilmarnock and a last-minute defeat to Dunfermline. This left United going into final game at Inverness as one of four clubs who could be relegated, along with Livingston, Dunfermline and Dundee. Dundee's early goal against Livingston moved them out of bottom spot, only for ex-United player Craig Easton
to equalise. With no further goals and Barry Robson
's penalty winner in Inverness
, United survived, finishing in 9th place.
The Cup Final was a tense occasion, with Martin O'Neill
's last match in charge bringing an edge to the 50,635 crowd. Alan Thompson's 9th-minute deflected free-kick ultimately won it for Celtic, with Chris Sutton
missing a late penalty before Alan Archibald
's injury-time drive nearly securing extra-time.
, making a total of over fifty games played. The team finished ninth in the Scottish Premier League
.
In the cup competitions, United were runners-up in the Tennent's Scottish Cup
, losing 1-0 to Celtic
, qualifying for the UEFA Cup
in the process. The club lost heavily in the CIS Insurance Cup
semi-finals, losing 7-1 to Rangers
as Nick Colgan
- playing only his second match in his loan spell - played his last game for the club.
All results are written with Dundee United's score first.
