United finished in eighth place, an improvement on last year's ninth-place finish, despite accumulating fewer points in this campaign. Summary June 2008 United were knocked out of both domestic cup competitions by Aberdeen – in the League Cup semi-final's and the Scottish Cup quarter-finals, both by a score of 1–0. United sold top scorer Billy Dodds to Rangers at the start of December and immediately the club's fortunes changed. Sitting third in the league, the club would win only one of the next fourteen league games and three in total for the rest of the season. In fact, United lost 11 of the last 13 matches, consigning them to eighth place. Such was Dodds' impact that he finished top scorer, despite only playing the first four months of the season with the club. Dundee United played a total of 44 competitive matches during the 1999–2000 season.http://www.soccerbase.com/results.sd?teamid=740&seasonid=129 https://archive.today/20130202191957/http://www.soccerbase.com/results.sd?teamid=740&seasonid=129 dead 2 February 2013 Dundee Utd 1999/2000 player appearances Soccerbase 19 December 2007 The team finished eighth in the Scottish Premier League. In the cup competitions, United were knocked out of the Scottish Cup at the quarter-finals stage, losing 1–0 to Aberdeen.

Nine players were signed during the 1999–2000 season, with a total (public) transfer cost of around £750,000. Seven players left the club during the season with only one transfer – Billy Dodds to Rangers – bringing in a fee of £1.3m. The club made a transfer profit of around £500k for the season. The club's playing kits were sponsored by Telewest for the fourth consecutive season. Joaquim Ferraz's six league goals came in consecutive games – three times. He found the net in the first two matches of the season, had a fourteen-game gap until two in his next two games before taking six matches to fire his next two goals. He only finished on the losing side once after scoring in the league. Fixtures and results All results are written with Dundee United's score first.
