Season review
United were relegated, the season after winning the Scottish Cup for the first time. Ivan Golac, the man who led them to the trophy, was sacked in March and replaced with Billy Kirkwood. Kirkwood's record was less than impressive and losing nine of the final eleven games meant relegation.
Match results
Dundee United played a total of 45 competitive matches during the 1994–95 season.[1] The team finished tenth (bottom) in the Premier Division and were relegated.
In the cup competitions, United lost in the fourth round of the Tennent's Scottish Cup to Aberdeen and lost narrowly in the Coca-Cola Cup quarter-finals to Rangers.
