Scottish Cup

Main article: 2013–14 Scottish Cup

Dundee United entered the Scottish Cup in the fourth round and came from behind to defeat Kilmarnock 5-2 to progress to the next stage. They followed this up with wins against St. Mirren and Inverness Caledonian Thistle to reach the semi-finals. They were drawn to face Rangers at Ibrox as the usual venue, Hampden Park, was being redeveloped for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[8] United were unhappy with this as they felt the game should be played a neutral venue, as is usually the case for semi-finals, but their request to move the game elsewhere was rejected.[9] In spite of this, United went on to win 3-1 and faced St. Johnstone in the final. Demand for tickets was high with over 28,000 being sold,[10] but the large support was ultimately left disappointed as United lost 2-0.
