Before the one against the Buddies, this was my particular favourite. The Hoops don’t look like a team set to cruise to the title. News about Dundee United's Lawrence Shankland on Sports Mole with the latest player news, biographical information, pictures and more. And after Shankland bagged the first Premiership goal of his career last weekend, I saw that thing with my own eyes. The only down side is there wasn’t an 8,000-strong crowd inside Tannadice to witness it. When he walked up the stairs to the front of Tannadice’s Jerry Kerr Stand to face the media post-match, he cut an unassuming figure, as he usually does. That’s what got him his goal last weekend. It was that result more than the 6-2 derby win in August that told you who would end up as the city’s top team that season. It is his last but certainly not the least of Shankland’s goals.
