Season review
The club began the season without Duncan Ferguson, selling him to Rangers for a British transfer record of £4m. Replacing him up front was Craig Brewster, signed from Raith Rovers for a more modest £0.25m.
The club endured replays in most rounds of the Scottish Cup before beating Rangers to win the trophy at the seventh attempt.
Match results
Dundee United played a total of 58 competitive matches during the 1993–94 season.[1] The team finished sixth in the Scottish Premier Division.
In the cup competitions, United won the Scottish Cup for the first time, beating Rangers 1-0 and qualifying for the following season's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup competition in the process. The club lost narrowly in the League Cup semi-final to Hibernian and lost on away goals to Brondby in the UEFA Cup first round.
