The recently appointed Director of Football at Tannadice has been gifted a director’s chair in the striking tangerine and black colours of the Tayside club.

The stylish chair was presented to the Arabs boss by office interior design and refurbishment company, asplanned, to mark his appointment to the club’s board of directors.

asplanned managing director, Andy Stewart, said: “We support Dundee United in a number of ways and we thought it was important that Craig is fully supported with office furniture that befits his new role as a director.

“This is a huge week in the club’s history with all eyes focussed on Hampden and if everything goes as planned I hope to see Craig sitting in this chair next Monday firmly grasping the CIS League Cup.”

Craig Levein added: “When a team reaches a cup final you fully appreciate what that means to the fans and we are delighted that more than 17,000 supporter will be cheering us on at Hampden.

“We have been overwhelmed with goodwill messages from ordinary fans and sponsors such as asplanned and we will be doing our best to bring back the silverware to Tannadice.”

Dundee United spokesman Keith Haggart said just over 16,500 cup final tickets had been sold and fans planning to make the trip to Hampden should act fast to secure their briefs.
