There is guaranteed to be one Dundee derby this season — when the city rivals face each other in the 2023/24 SPFL Reserve Cup.
With a division separating the clubs, and both eliminated at the group phase of the Viaplay Cup, the only potential for a first competitive showdown since April 2022 comes from the Scottish Cup.
However, their respective second strings will face off at Whitton Park on October 2 after Dundee and United were both drawn in Group B of the tournament, along with Dunfermline Athletic and Falkirk.

Calum Beattie, SPFL chief operating officer, said: “We are pleased to announce the format of this season’s cinch Reserve League and Reserve Cup following a detailed consultation with participating clubs.
