Tony Docherty SACKED by Dundee as United book Euro ticket

Huge breaking news on Monday morning as Dundee wielded the axe on gaffer Tony Docherty. The decision came less than 24 hours after the Dee secured their Premiership status with a 2-0 victory at St Johnstone, sparking a pitch invasion at McDiarmid Park. Was it the right call by the Dee? And will Shaun Maloney be the next man in the Dens Park hotseat? While there was no such drama across the road to begin the week – there was plenty on Saturday. We toast a wonderful season from Dundee United after their gutsy 2-1 win over Aberdeen secured European football in the maiden campaign back in the Premiership. We lavish praise on Declan Gallagher, discuss the ice-cool Sam Dalby and pay tribute to auxiliary right-back Louis Moult! There is also chat about how the Tangerines will evolve next season amid the challenge of continental competition. Sadly, we must also chew over the despicable assault that saw Jack Mackenzie struck by a seat lobbed by an Aberdeen fan. Folding in those scenes in Perth, we ask what’s next for Scottish football’s relationship with supporters?
