Accepting his resignation, United chairman Eddie Thompson said, “It is with regret that we have today accepted the resignation of Mike Watson as a director of the club.
“On behalf of the club and the board of directors, I would like to thank Mike for his contribution to Dundee United as a director over the past two years and his support for the club as a fan for over 40 years.”
