History of the Dundee United v Falkirk fixture

Dundee Utd. prepare to entertain Falkirk at Tannadice Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Terrors are clearly on top, having won 22 and lost only 8 of the 35 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tannadice Park was less than a year ago, in February 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.
