A win on the opening day would be a huge result for us in Mickey Mellon's first game in charge and pretty important also given that our next matches after today's are Motherwell away, Hibs at home..County away..Celtic at home..and finally Killie away all before August is over. A tough start to the season.

Utd's form on opening day of the season is 'mixed' to say the least. Here are our results on the opening day of the season going back the last 20 years.
