DUNDEE UNITED legend Ralph Milne has died aged 54.

The Tannadice legend had been in a critical condition in hospital as he battled liver disease but has now passed away.

Milne had battled alcoholism and it is understood he had been regularly treated for liver problems as his conditions worsened.

The wing maestro went down in Dundee United history when he scored the first goal in the 2-1 victory over Dundee at Dens Park when the club won their only top division title in 1983.

Milne left Dundee United in 1987 and after spells with Charlton and Bristol City, he was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United before having his career cut short.
