Woodlands Primary School in Carnoustie was randomly selected as the lucky school to honour a deserving pupil the opportunity of a lifetime to lead out their heroes before kick off. The child chosen by the school to represent Utilita and win this fabulous prize was nine-year-old season ticket holder Morgan Dickson. 213Upon hearing the news of his son's win, Dad Gareth said, "When Morgan found out he was picked to be mascot he was totally bowled over by the news. It was an excellent early Christmas present and our family would like to say a massive thank you to Utilita Energy for making Morgan's dream come true." Morgan said, "I am looking forward to going on the pitch at Tannadice and meeting my favourite player Simon Murray, I just hope to be a lucky mascot and watch the team win". Utilita will choose another pupil from a local school to be the mascot for the match against Raith Rovers in February.
