Advertise on podcast: Twa Teams, One Street: the football podcast that’s as obsessed by Dundee FC and Dundee United as you are!

Derby day approaches once more and the season bragging rights are at stake at Tannadice.  The result has much different ramifications for either side – a United win settles them in seventh spot but a Dundee defeat could put them in a spot of bother.  So where will Sunday’s clash be won and lost?  And what can we look forward to in the summer? Transfers, new contracts, new goalies?  It’s an all-in again for this derby special – hosting is George Cran alongside Alan Temple and Graeme Finnan.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

No games to talk about over the weekend but plenty of questions in the mailbag to sort through. Do Dundee United have other goalkeeping options in the works? Will they continue to shop abroad? What’s happening with Dundee’s stadium? And what are their transfer needs this summer? Loads to get through as Courier Sport writers Alan Temple and George Cran tackle your questions alongside Graeme Finnan. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Lots of goals and last-gasp penalties. Dundee United took their chance from the spot and grabbed all three points against Livingston. Dundee, meanwhile, missed theirs and had to settle for a draw against Kilmarnock. Plenty to get through on both sides of the street, including maddening VAR delays and injury worries at Tannadice. Tuning in are Courier Sport writers Alan Temple and George Cran alongside ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan. NOTE: No pod on Thursday but we are planning a Q&A episode next Monday so get your questions to the guys at [email protected] or bug them on social media.

United host rock-bottom Livingston ahead of their bottom-six campaign – and Jim Goodwin has promised attacking football.   We posit how the Tangerines can take the handbrake off against opposition lower in the table – something Goodwin’s charges have struggled with, especially at Tannadice.   Could we see a debut for goalkeeper Ruairidh Adams, who might or might not be slightly shorter than your average keeper, during the run-in following injury to Ashley Maynard-Brewer?   The likes of Owen Stirton, Sam Cleall-Harding and Scott Constable could also be pushing for action.   Alan has a Zac Sapsford prediction, while the panel pay tribute to newly retired ex-United ace Barry Douglas.   Across the road, Dundee travel to Rugby Park knowing one simple truth: win and Premiership safety is all-but secured.   However, it’ll be a testing task against a side boasting four wins from their last five matches – and showing real signs of life under ex-Dens Park boss Neil McCann.  We discuss how Steven Pressley will cope with the possible absence of Tony Yogane, the definite absence of Ryan Astley and ponder whether scourge of Killie, Ash Hay, should get the nod ahead of Simon Murray.   There’s also talk of what price tag Luke Graham should command and, with Rangers’ interest in the player increasingly obvious, where his future may lie.   This weekend’s action is previewed by The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton, Dundee United writer Alan Temple and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos 

For the first time this season, Celtic claimed victory in the City of Discovery – but they were made to work for it.   Did the Dark Blues ‘have Celtic exactly where they wanted them’? If so, how did the points end up back in Glasgow?  We spotlight an eventful afternoon for Ryan Astley, praise Jon McCracken’s interventions and ask whether the Dee are getting enough attacking impetus from out-with the wide areas.   A day earlier, United succumbed to defeat against Rangers.   Defensive deficiencies were again on show as the Gers claimed a 4-2 triumph, with Ashley Maynard-Brewer making a costly error before suffering a dislocated shoulder – what does the future hold for him?  A similar question can be asked regarding Amar Fatah, who is increasingly establishing himself as one of the most dangerous wide players in the Scottish Premiership.   And why don’t midfielders make tactical fouls anymore?!  This weekend’s action is discussed by Dundee United writer Alan Temple, DFC writer George Cran and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos 

It’s the City of Discovery v Glasgow again this weekend as oor twa teams face Rangers and Celtic. Dundee United face a testing trip to Ibrox – can they shock the Gers and derail their title bid? They will be without Kristijan Trapanovski after news of his knee injury needing surgery. He’s out of contract this summer – will United keep him? The same question goes for goalie Ashley Maynard-Brewer – will he stick around? Dundee, meanwhile, have to wait an extra 24 hours for their own date with one of the Old Firm. Celtic come to Dens smarting from their loss at Tannadice a fortnight previous – can the Dark Blues pull off a historic victory? And will they look to keep Clark Robertson beyond this summer? Plenty to get through as Twa Teams returns – in the studio alongside host Sean Hamilton are Dundee United writer Alan Temple, DFC writer George Cran and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.

Celtic don’t like our wee street, do they? Three times they’ve rocked up in the City of Discovery this season and three times they’ve been beaten. Dundee United registered their first back-to-back home wins over the Hoops since 1991. How did they do that? And who has been a game-changing signing? Dundee, meanwhile, lost narrowly at table-topping Hearts. What went wrong at Tynecastle and is Steven Pressley right that other teams are showing his jobby outfit more respect? Alan can’t join in today but has kindly sent in his thoughts on Dundee United’s impressive win over Celtic. So tuning in from home is host Sean Hamilton alongside Courier Sport writer George Cran and former Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Should Jon McCracken feel aggrieved about not getting a Scotland call ahead of Liam Kelly – as the guys talk “vibes”.  What does the future hold for Fin Robertson at Dens Park, and what sort of player will he eventually emerge as?  And we look ahead to a testing visit to the league leaders, Hearts, and point out some weaknesses that have emerged in the Jambos’ armour.   Across the road, it’s been a busy week of transfer news.   Lachlan Rose is set to arrive on a free transfer from Newcastle Jets, following fellow A-League standout Jesse Randall.   Formerly a young tennis prospect, what will Rose serve up at Tannadice?  We chew over the Craig Sibbald-to-Falkirk signing pictures furore, and tip one Terrors standout to be in contention for PFA Scotland young player of the year.  And how can United beat Celtic?  The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton is in the big chair, joined by George Cran and Alan Temple.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos 

Sunday’s Dundee derby brought drama never seen before in this famous fixture. Dundee United dominated the entire 90 minutes – but somehow contrived to give up two goals and two points in the final two minutes of stoppage time. What belief do Dundee get from this and how can United pick themselves up. Plus Bear is quizzed on video evidence of him leaving Dens Park early. And there’s plenty of chat about Amar Fatah, Jon McCracken and the late, great Gordon Wallace. Tuning in from home is Courier Sport writers George Cran and Alan Temple alongside former Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

It’s a mixed bag for Twa Teams this week. And we’re low on bodies, too. First up is Dundee’s excellent win over Motherwell at Dens Park – who stood out and are the Dark Blues safe from relegation now? Then there’s United’s night to forget at Falkirk on Friday – who keeps carrying the team and what does it mean for Jim Goodwin? Just two faces for this Monday edition as George Cran and Graeme Finnan discuss a big weekend on the street. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos 

It’s a huge week for Dundee United and they’ve got off to a fine start with Tuesday’s victory over St Mirren. We look back at the 2-1 victory, some strange, strange goals and how the Tangerines are shaping up to face Falkirk in the Scottish Cup quarter-final on Friday. Two men are suspended but who will be key? Dundee are out of the cup but have a crucial contest of their own as they welcome high-flying Motherwell to Dens Park. Can the Dark Blues upset the odds? And do they deserve to have more points on the board? Just three talking heads this week as Courier Sport writers George Cran and Alan Temple are joined by ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.

Dundee played out a 3-3 thriller against Hibernian at Dens Park. The guys chew over a breathless contest, spotlighting the likes of Simon Murray, Tony Yogane and Luke Graham. However, it was Cam Congreve who had the final word with a magnificent late leveller – and he wants even more. At United, all the talk is about Johnny Russell after Courier Sport broke the story of his impending return to Tannadice (barring any late hitches) on Monday morning. We discuss why Russell, aged 35, could still prove to be an inspired signing for the Terrors. On the pitch, we look back on defeat at Motherwell – from Vicko Sevelj being caught on the grainy cameras of Fir Park to the intriguing squad rotation. And what is an acceptable result against St Mirren on Tuesday, given the looming Scottish Cup quarter-final against Falkirk? Alan Temple and George Cran, The Courier’s Dundee United and Dundee correspondents, respectively, are joined by ex-Evening Telegraph sports editor Graeme Finnan this fine Monday.

There’s no rest for Dundee United in the most hectic portion of the campaign. The team pick the bones out of a turgid game against Aberdeen at Tannadice – and analyse why the surface is in such a state, and what comes next for it. We discuss the relationship between the United hierarchy and the Ultras following statement and counter-statement this week, before looking ahead to an onerous challenge at Fir Park. Across the road, Steven Pressley reckons Ethan Hamilton should be in the conversation for Scotland. Is he right? And how many other Ethan Hamiltons are waiting to be unearthed south of the border? Pressley has plenty of options following a worthwhile bounce game in midweek, while Joe Westley could be back to face Hibs. The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton is in the hot-seat, joined by United correspondent Alan Temple and former Evening Telegraph sports editor Graeme Finnan.

Dundee are celebrating a first Pittodrie win against Aberdeen in 22 years. “Not bad for a jobby team,” to paraphrase Steven Pressley. We pick the bones out of a thriller in the Granite City as Ethan Hamilton’s burgeoning reputation continues to grow. Will summer suitors start to take notice of the in-form midfielder? And the Dark Blues are tipped for a push to finish as top of the bottom-six after the split. At Tannadice, Dundee United endured yet more last-minute pain as Marley Watkins rescued a 1-1 draw for Kilmarnock. Despite the Tangerines turning in a largely fine display and grabbing the lead through an Amar Fatah wondergoal, it is now TWENTY Premiership points dropped from winning positions. Who is to blame for handing the initiative to the visitors after a game in which United had complete control prior to the opener? And we discuss Emmanuel Agyei’s debut and Tuesday’s clash with “in flux” Aberdeen. It’s a two-man band this Monday as Alan Temple is joined by former Evening Telegraph sports editor Graeme Finnan.
