The last time United lost to the side that finished the season bottom was against Dunfermline back in August 2011 (they were bottom in 2011/12).
Full record of the 43 games against the bottom side ⬇️
@DufcStats Wee bit of a boring stat to think about but when was the last time United lost to the team that finished bottom of the league we were in? Can’t think of any recently
This is the first time United have finished 7th since 1997/98.
Since the top flight adopted the current 12 team format in 2000/01 the only position between 3rd-12th that United have not finished in is 10th.
Dundee United have won their past five league games against sides starting the day bottom of the Scottish Premiership.
Livingston are looking to avoid losing to United three times in a row in the top flight for the first time.

Today's results mean that Dundee clubs will play in the same league for 3 consecutive seasons for the first time since spending 7 seasons together between 1998/99-2004/05.
Aberdeen are unbeaten in nine (W5 D4) Scottish Premiership meetings with Dundee United at Pittodrie since a 3-0 defeat in August 2014. But the Terrors are unbeaten in six league meetings with the Dons (W3 D3) since October 2024.

@TheBoldBuddie Yes we are as St Mirren play Kilmarnock.
Kilmarnock need to win in to reach 40. Which would involve beating St Mirren reducing their maximum points to 39.
@shedheds Including Hegarty it's 20 departures.
14/20 sacked.
4 resigned (Sturrock, Levein, Neilson & Courts).
2 left by mutual consent (Houston & Mellon).
