Dundee United are pleased to announce the purchase of a controlling stake in the Club by Mark Ogren, a US-based businessman. Mr Ogren has acquired 85.61% of the issued share capital in Dundee United Football Company Ltd previously owned by Mike Martin and James Fyffe. Mr Ogren, whose business interests span oil services, software and real-estate becomes the Club’s new Chairman with Mr Martin stepping down both as Chairman and board director. Mr Fyffe and David Dorward remain directors at the Club. The result of several months of discussions, this acquisition provides Dundee United with the strong financial foundations required to support the Club’s football ambitions, specifically a return to the Ladbrokes Premiership. Mr Martin said, “Throughout our discussions, I was impressed by Mark’s passion for sport in general and his vision and ambition for Dundee United. He has developed a keen understanding of our rich history, our values and traditions, the importance of our community role and the passion and loyalty of the supporter base. “I feel privileged to have been Chairman at this great Club and I am grateful for all the support and assistance given to me throughout that period. I leave with confidence that Dundee United’s future is in very good hands.”

That’s the one I mean, I’m in main stand so gave reference from there. Aye he was slower than a week in the jail.

Sorry to here about Number_Eight, always liked his posts when I was on FF. When did he die? Sat with him at a RST dinner a good few years ago.

Just that I would have thought his choice of assistant would be more involved on tactics on match days. But obviously not.

I blame the schools.

How could it be McAuley? He played well, but.

It seems that it’s always MB who comes out to discuss with Gerrard during games, very very rarely Gary McAllister assistant manager.

Anyone else see the performance from this young lad? In front of Main Stand Broomie end, any slower and he would be stopped.

That interview could be taken as a a criticism of the board, the same board he has praised up till now. He also seems to be trying to extradite himself from some of his signings.

Don’t see us winning 55 with those mentioned so far, we have a long way to go.

McGregor and McCrorie at fault for goal, poor clearance by McGtegor and McCrorie let the scorer run off him. Having said that 1 shot at goal from us was poor.

No. As Frankie says from internet.

Celtic: Leigh Griffiths faces spell out to deal with 'ongoing issues' 3 hours ago From the sectionCeltic Sharethis page Leigh Griffiths missed a penalty in last week's draw at Motherwell Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths will be "out of football for a little period of time" as he receives help with "ongoing issues", including some relating to his mental health, says Brendan Rodgers. The Scotland forward, 28, has made 22 appearances in a stop-start season that has been disrupted by injuries. Griffiths withdrew from the Scotland squad to face Israel and Portugal in October to focus on his fitness. "Leigh has had issues for a number of months," Celtic manager Rodgers said. "He's reached a point where it's a struggle for him. We are going to give him all the professional help he needs to get him back in a good place again." 'I have had to overcome dark times' - Griffiths Griffiths 'not in the huff' - Grant Rodgers declined to elaborate on the issues, calling them "confidential", but said Griffiths "needs to find a happiness". "He's a great guy but football and life is tough for him right now," Rodgers added. "We want to help him with that and we'll let you know when he's back. "I'm very close with him. We have a strong relationship and he's had a number of issues outside of football. "Thankfully for him, for the issues that young players and young people in general can come across, there is great support out there. "It's no longer a weakness to talk now. Forget football, think of the guy as a human being and take it from there. "The most important thing for managers and coaches is the welfare of players. He has all of our support - the team, the staff and the supporters." Griffiths has scored six goals this season, the most recent in Celtic's 3-0 win over Hamilton Academical on 24 November.

Remember that game as if it was yesterday. After game went back to St Enochs Station hotel to see team with trophy.

He’s 26, at that age we should be looking at someone who has played at a decent level. We won’t win 55 if this is the calibre we’re looking at.

Lafferty is not the brightest, kicking out at opponent.

A lot of fans will be thinking the same.
