Rapid Vienna Vs Dundee United: The Preview

Can United summon the spirit of the 1980s?

After Dundee United joined a list of 11 Scottish clubs to have won a continental tie this century, securing their first victory in a European tie since 1997, the next task is for United to win their first European tie since last week. Progression was expected, but it was still notable that United not only won a match outside of Scotland for the first time in nearly 30 years, but they also kept a clean sheet in both victories - for only their fourth time in their illustrious European history. United haven’t won two European ties in a single season since the UEFA Cup final season of 1986/87, and they’ll be hoping for a good result in Thursday night’s match - live on BBC Scotland at 8pm.
