The Scottish Cups were left to ‘lesser’ teams.
Dundee United made attempts at both cups this season, but they were beaten in both finals. Unfortunate, that, but no trophy for this still nice squad.
Rangers won the Scottish League Cup, prevailing over Dundee United 1-0. They saved face, so to say.
Celtic also won a trophy – after beating Dundee United 2-0, the FA Cup was in their hands. Good, bad, or ugly, Celtic and Rangers always managed to win something. Better than nothing, yet, the title mattered most… and both mighty clubs were reduced to battling for consolation prizes.
