Trivia

 * In the 4–0 victory at Partick Thistle on 13 February, referee Les Mottram ruled Paddy Connolly's goal – where the ball rebounded back from the inside stanchion – hadn't crossed the line. To make matters worse for United, a Partick defender picked the ball up with his hands, only for the referee to rule play on. The decision denied Connolly his first senior hat-trick.
