Dundee Utd legend McLean dies

Former Dundee Utd manager Jim McLean has died aged 83. He was in charge for 22 years, the highlight of Tannadice tenure being in 1983 when his team became Scottish champions.

Under Jim's stewardship, the Tangerines also won 2 League Cups, reached the UEFA Cup Final and also the European Cup Semi-Finals.

Jim's family has issued a statement :

"Jim was a much loved husband, father, brother, uncle and father-in-law, and we will all sadly miss him. His remarkable six decade career made him a true legend not only at Dundee United, but across the world of football. Jim’s achievements in leading Dundee United to the Scottish Premier League title in 1983 and to the semi-final of the following season’s European Cup are unlikely ever to be repeated. This is a very sad day for our family, but we will be eternally proud of Jim. We would ask that our privacy is respected at this very difficult time for our family".
