    A very decent opening for David Babunski, but he scoops his first-time effort way over the top.

    Simon Murray is getting it tight from the home fans at every turn and the visiting support respond with a burst of "he's one of our own".

    It still hasn't settled down. It's been a rather scrappy, with nobody getting any control.

    The ball is being turned over very quickly and it's played long on most occasions.

    Let's hope after 10 minutes, it settles down and the players get more room.

    Good positioning from McCracken. He's got to make sure he's got that near post covered. It's a tight angle but he does well to deflect it out for a corner.

    Here we go.

    United have gone 16 top-flight home games unbeaten against Dundee (W5 D10) since August 2004.

    The home side is unbeaten in the last 10 Scottish Premiership derbies (W6 D4) since the Tangerines won 4-1 at Dens Park in September 2014.

    Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin was asked about the guard of honour earlier.

    "A great touch from them to be honest, a bit of class shown," he said. "I've got great respect for Dundee and Tony Docherty."

    There will certainly be some strong challenges. You expect that in a derby match.

  13. First derby walk thrills Dochertypublished at 13:24 British Summer Time 4 August

    Dundee United v Dundee (13:30)

    Tony Docherty describes his first short walk from Dens Park to their city neighbours' stadium as Dundee manager as "unique".

    "I thought it was good and I think it adds to the fixture," he tells BBC Scotland. "It is good for Scottish football and good for the city."

    As for their four-game winning run in the League Cup, he suggests: "It gives us a platform. But that's gone now. This is the start of the league campaign and it's important we start well.

    "If we play at our best, it will give us a chance to take three points."

    Former Dundee United striker Simon Murray is back in Dark Blue this season, is already among the goals and Docherty adds: "He is a real winner and a great character and a good leader. Most importantly, he's scored the goals as well."

  14. 'Progress has been pleasing'published at 13:22 British Summer Time 4 August

    Dundee United v Dundee (13:30)

    Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: "This is a great fixture for me personally to be a part of. I've been involved in St Mirren v Morton games as a player and I know what derbies mean, but this is different. It's a really important fixture for the whole city.

    "We have to hit the ground running. There's no bedding in process for the new signings, we've explained the significance of this fixture to them and what it means to the supporters.

    "The League Cup comes around too soon for us all. Nobody is ever as prepared as they'd like to be. But the progress has been pleasing. There's a better understanding of what we're asking the players to do.

    "The league is what it's all about for us. We need to ensure survival in the Scottish Premiership and that's the most important thing."

    Expectations are always high but I'm realistic. If Dundee United can stay in the Premiership, which I think they can, that's a plus.

    If they can finish eighth, ninth or tenth, I'm not saying that's a good season but it's a stepping stone to further things.

  16. Murray seeks first derby goalpublished at 13:16 British Summer Time 4 August

    Dundee United v Dundee (13:30)

    Simon Murray has hit the ground running at Dundee with five goals in three League Cup group stage games.

    The 32-year-old spent two seasons at United, scoring 25 times, before moving on in 2017.

    He's never scored in a city derby though.

    Dundee boss Tony Docherty makes three changes from the side that thumped Inverness Caledonian Thistle 6-0 in the League Cup, handing a debut to midweek signing Ziyad Larkeche at left wing-back.

    Lyall Cameron and Jon McCracken also come in, with Josh Mulligan, Trevor Carson and Fin Robertson dropping to the bench.

    There are league debuts for Ethan Ingram, academy graduate Luke Graham and Seb Palmer-Houlden.

    Last season's Championship-winning goalkeeper Jack Walton is back on loan and replaces Dave Richards in the sticks from United's win over Buckie Thistle in the League Cup.

    He's one of three changes, with Kai Fotheringham and Louis Moult also dropping to the bench.

    They're replaced by 20-year-old Miller Thomson and summer signing Jort van der Sande - who makes his United debut.

    It was also 2-2 the last time these rivals met on the first weekend of a top flight season, back in 2001-02, when Dundee United’s Jim Hamilton found a 90th-minute equaliser.

  20. Another Tannadice thriller?published at 13:04 British Summer Time 4 August

    Dundee United v Dundee (13:30)

    This is the first Dundee derby since April 2022, so let's hope it's as entertaining.

    Charlie Mulgrew whipped in a great free-kick early in the second half to give the home side a 2-0 lead at Tannadice, but Danny Mullen reduced the deficit soon after and Charlie Adam levelled with a vicious, swerving shot from a long way out.
