Dundee United entered the competition in the second round and were drawn against Scottish Championship side Dumbarton.[6] They won the tie 3-2 and progressed to face fellow Scottish Premiership team Partick Thistle in the third round.[7] They defeated Partick Thistle 4-1 with David Goodwillie scoring a hat-trick but then lost to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the quarter-finals.

Scottish Cup

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

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.[8] 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.[9] 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,[10] but the large support was ultimately left disappointed as United lost 2-0.
