The 2006-07 campaign was a season of dramatic, mid-table consolidation for Dundee United as The Terrors ultimately finished 9th in the Scottish Premier League for the third successive year. The defining moment was a managerial change in October, which saw fan-favourite Craig Brewster replaced by the incoming Craig Levein, who instantly delivered a lift by earning a Manager of the Month award in his first full month. Leading the charge was the inspirational captain and talismanic midfielder, Barry Robson, whose 11 crucial league goals, including a memorable hat-trick in a resounding 4-0 away victory at Hearts, proved decisive in navigating a turbulent season. It was a year of transition that saw the club avoid the relegation battle and lay the vital foundations for the Levein era.
