DUNDEE UNITED hosted their rivals at Tannadice Park this weekend.
And home fans were in for a disappointing first half as they saw their team go into the break 3-1 down.

The visitors had the ball in the back of the net after just 10 minutes through Lyall Cameron but VAR chalked it off for offside.
But they then scored two legal goals inside 23 minutes after finishes from Jordan McGhee and Scott Tiffoney.
Glenn Middleton looked to have halved the deficit for Utd when he struck on the half hour mark.
But that was before McGhee restored his side’s two goal lead six minutes before half time.
Dundee then had the ball in the net again, with ANOTHER VAR decision ruling it out.
And one Utd fan took out their frustration by THROWING an object onto the field of play during the first half.
The item, which looked to be a vape, hit Simon Murray as play was stopped by the referee, Nick Walsh.
He handed the vape to a police officer in attendance at the side of the pitch before pointing out which area it was thrown from.
And Dundee Utd then gave their fans a message over the tannoy, threatening to CANCEL the remainder of the gave if fans didn’t stop throwing missiles onto the pitch.
It’s not the first time this season there have been missiles aimed at players on the park.
Brendan Rodgers and Arne Engels were also targeted during a derby clash at the beginning of the year.
But the Dundee derby game did go on as planned as monitoring of the crowds continued.
Utd scored just four minutes into the second half through a Kristijan Trapanovski strike.
But they were unable to complete the comeback as Utd’s Emmanuel Adegboyega conceeded a penalty and was SENT OFF in stoppage time.
And Murray stepped up to net the spot kick to see his side run out 4-2 winners.
It’s the Dee’s first Premiership win in NINE games as they sit second bottom of the table.
