Dundee United defender Ross Graham has described the feeling of winning the Championship with his boyhood heroes as “a dream come true”.
Academy graduate Graham has been outstanding since coming into the side to replace the injured Kevin Holt at the heart of the Tangerines’ back-line.
Friday night’s 0-0 draw against Airdrie – a point that officially cemented promotion – was the Terrors’ fourth clean sheet in five games with Graham in the starting line-up.
And the 23-year-old from Blairgowrie can now look forward to a memorable title party at Tannadice in front of a swathe of family and friends.
“It’s an amazing feeling – it’s a dream come true,” Graham told Courier Sport. “I was involved a little bit the last time we were promoted (2019/20). I didn’t play but I was in the squads and watching from afar.
“But to be a part of it this time is unbelievable.
“It’s been an up and down season, but the main thing is we got the job done and, as one of the biggest clubs in the country, the Premiership is where we belong.
“Hopefully, we can go and challenge next season.”
Will Graham be a part of the squad that tackles the top-flight?
His contract expires this summer and, when asked what the future holds, the big defender was coy.
However, his affinity with United shines through.
Graham added: “I absolutely love it here. I love playing for Dundee United and playing regular football – it’s what I want to be doing – so we’ll see what happens.”
