Dundee United entered the Scottish Cup in the fourth round and came from behind to defeat Kilmarnock 5-2 to progress to the next stage. They followed this up with wins against St Mirren and Inverness Caledonian Thistle to reach the semi-finals. They were drawn to face Rangers at Ibrox as the usual venue, Hampden Park, was being redeveloped for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. United were unhappy with this as they felt the game should be played a neutral venue, as is usually the case for semi-finals, but  their request to move the game elsewhere was rejected. In spite of this, United went on to win 3-1 and faced St Johnstone in the final. Demand for tickets was high with over 28,000 being sold, but the large support was ultimately left disappointed as United lost 2-0. Player statistics. Disciplinary record.
