A delighted Hamish McAlpine said, "It's a fantastic honour to be asked to be Dundee United's Club Ambassador. United has formed a massive part of my life and I am delighted to accept this wonderful gesture. Obviously a lot has changed at the Club since my playing days, but the passion and desire to do the best they can and entertain is as prevalent today as it was back then.
"Dundee United are a magnificent Club with great fans and I will be proud to once again serve and be part of what is a true United family. I am looking forward to once again being around the Club on matchdays and doing my utmost to promote the name and reputation of Dundee United everywhere."
