The 1987–88 season was the 86th season in which Dundee competed at a Scottish national level, playing in the Scottish Premier Division.[1][2] Dundee would finish in 7th place. Dundee would also compete in both the Scottish League Cup and the Scottish Cup, where they were knocked out by Aberdeen in the semi-finals of the League Cup, and by inter-city rivals Dundee United in a second replay in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup.
Dundee would change kit manufacturers to Matchwinner, introducing white and red stripes to the top of their jersey.[3] Striker Tommy Coyne would top the Premier Division scoring charts with 33 goals in the league.[4]
