Frustrated Dundee United chairman Mark Ogren has ripped apart Jack Ross' brief spell as boss at Tannadice after a "largely disappointing" start to the campaign.
The former Hibs and Sunderland boss was shown the door at Tannadice with the heavy defeat to Celtic proving the final straw for Ogren. The impressive first leg win over AZ Alkmaar in Europa Conference League qualifying proved to be an outlier amid a run of rotten results, with the 7-0 trouncing away to the Eredivise side dealing an early bodyblow to Ross' tenure.
United have never recovered having lost their last four Scottish Premiership games with the 9-0 thrashing by Celtic in the City of Discovery leaving the fans, owners and players shellshocked. The anger was palpable from the stands with a stream of punters heading for the exits at the interval with their side trailing 4-0 to Ange Postecoglou's side, and Ogren and the board decided to wield the axe just seven games into the campaign.
