Match report
Having appeared to have turned the corner with the results against Celtic and Dundee, the lack of creativity in this meeting with Airdrie almost put us back to square one.

Having appeared to have turned the corner with the results against Celtic and Dundee, the lack of creativity in this meeting with Airdrie almost put us back to square one. Indeed, it was Airdrie who enjoyed the better of the early exchanges, but the game soon developed into a pattern of United possession,but little by way of chances being created. About the only exception to that was a John Clark 5 yarder, but Martin kept out his effort. Our cause wasn't helped when Billy McKinlay had to limp off injured. Early in the second period, John O'Neil did breach the Diamonds' defence, but after knocking the ball over Martin's head, his final shot went wide of the target.
Airdrie held on with a degree of comfort although John O'Neil and Paddy Connolly both had near misses towards the end, but Airdrie emerged with what was only their second Premier point from Tannadice. Although his departure was still a couple of months off, this match also marked the final appearance of Victor Ferreyra
