Dundee United finished the season in fifth place with 52 points. Noel Hunt was the top scorer with 18 goals. Summary The pre-season period began with two new permanent signings at the club, Polish goalkeeper Łukasz Załuska and Darren Dods having signed deals in June. Irishman Willo Flood also arrived from Cardiff City on a season-long loan deal. In July, former Ajax youngster Prince Buaben signed after a successful trial and was joined by a second Polish keeper, Grzegorz Szamotulski, in time for the league season. Englishman Jordan Robertson became the second long-term loan signing when he arrived from Sheffield United in late August. A number of players who were out of contract left the club following the end of the 2006–07 season. Lee Mair signed a pre-contract deal with Aberdeen and Derek Stillie moved to England to pursue a law career. David McCracken and Collin Samuel were both released. Also leaving the club were a number of younger players who had failed to earn extensions to their contracts. These were Gregg Burnett, Barry Callaghan and Ross Gardiner. All had played at least once for the first team. The first game of the season was home to Aberdeen in the SPL, and ended in a 1–0 victory.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/6928887.stm Dundee Utd 1–0 Aberdeen BBC Sport website 4 August 2007 26 November 2007 As the season progressed, United maintained their high league table position, ending 2007 in 4th place.
