The 2009-10 campaign was a triumphant season for Dundee United, delivering their first major silverware in 16 years as The Terrors secured a superb 3rd-place finish in the Scottish Premier League and conquered the Scottish Cup. Leading the league charge was the talismanic forward Jon Daly, whose 13 goals anchored the attack in a season built on resilience and the seamless managerial transition from Craig Levein to Peter Houston. It was a historic year, immortalised by the memorable 3-0 Scottish Cup Final victory over Ross County at Hampden, that re-established the club as a major force and remains a defining, glorious chapter for the Tannadice faithful.
