Club Statement

In response to reports in today’s media relating to accusations made against Nadir Ciftci, a Dundee United spokesperson said: “Dundee United FC are fully supportive of Nadir Ciftci in relation to allegations reportedly made against him by a Dundee player in the 3-0 derby win on Sunday at Tannadice. “The Club has interviewed Nadir today as the accusation levelled against him is very serious and Dundee United would not condone such behaviour. “The player is both surprised and upset by the accusation and, on discussing the matter in detail, it is clear to us that the player has not been involved in any such incident. In fact we commend Nadir for his tolerance on the field given some quite severe physical and totally unacceptable verbal provocation.”
