The 2005-06 campaign was a turbulent season for Dundee United as The Terrors ultimately secured a nervy 9th-place finish in the Scottish Premier League, narrowly avoiding the bottom two on goal difference. Leading the line was forward Lee Miller, whose 8 league goals anchored a side that saw mid-season upheaval, including a managerial change that brought club legend Craig Brewster to the helm. The year was sadly defined by immediate exits in all three cup competitions, including a frustrating UEFA Cup defeat on away goals to Finnish side MyPa after the team squandered a two-goal home lead. It remains a defining chapter for the club, showcasing a dramatic fight for survival that came down to the final day, where a late equaliser secured their top-flight status.
