Dundee’s 2024/25 season was one filled with ups and downs. Any fan will tell you supporting the Dee is like riding a rollercoaster with the past season no different. And for the third time in the past four seasons a manager got off the rollercoaster at the end of the ride. Tony Docherty’s time in charge at Dens Park was brought to an end last Monday. Plenty have had their say over the decision with club chiefs citing sub-standard results.

Aberdeen’s Scottish Cup success may have taken away Europa League football for Dundee United. But it has not shaken the feeling that the Tangerines enjoyed a superb campaign. The Dons beating Celtic on penalties on Saturday dropped United down a place in terms of European qualification. But the crucial thing is European football will still be on show at Tannadice next season. And that remains a huge achievement for Dundee United.

The Dundee job is the perfect opportunity for any ambitious manager. I was a wee bit surprised when Tony Docherty was sacked that they didn’t have a replacement lined up. It’s clear that decision wasn’t a knee-jerk one made after the final match of the season. Normally when you know the manager is going to leave, you have an idea of the man who want to replace him.

Shaun Maloney is already working on signings as he bids to hit the ground running if he lands the Dundee manager job. The former Celtic and Aston Villa star remains the big favourite to succeed Tony Docherty after he was sacked last Monday. The Dark Blues cited poor results as the reason for making a change and have since embarked on the process of finding a new manager to take the club forward. Maloney has been the frontrunner from the off.

Dundee’s academy is “going strong” says Dens Park legend Barry Smith. Smith played 433 times for the Dark Blues over 11 seasons and went on to manage the club between 2010 and 2013. His coaching career has taken him to Alloa, Raith Rovers, Brechin City and Pittsburgh. However, between jobs Smith has often stepped in to work with the Dundee academy setup. He has returned to help coach the dark blue youngsters once more. And he has predicted there are some stars in the making at Dens Park.

No Tony Docherty for post-match press tonight. Probably for the best, I can't even imagine how angry he is after that penalty decision That 2nd half display should have been enough to earn a vital 3 points but they now need to go and do it all again at St Johnstone on Sunday
