The 2020-21 campaign was a vital season of re-establishment for Dundee United, with The Terrors securing a respectable 9th-place finish in the Scottish Premiership. Marking their hard-fought return to the top flight after promotion, the club successfully cemented their status by steering clear of the relegation battle and also enjoyed a memorable run to the Scottish Cup semi-finals. Leading the charge with 11 crucial goals across all competitions was striker Nicky Clark, whose strikes proved decisive in a year built on the grit and determination required to compete among the elite once more.
