Dumbarton 0, Dundee 0, The Cheaper Insurance Direct Stadium, Scottish Cup 5th Rd, 06-February-16

Dundee and Dumbarton will have to do it again after a 0-0 on Saturday afternoon. On a pitch that looked heavy both team done well to try and play football. Dundee made no changes to their starting line-up from the eleven who started against Motherwell.

They started brightly and were unlucky after 4 minutes when after good play from Stewart set up Ross who took a touch and cracked a shot off the post. Dundee kept up the pressure with some neat play but lacked the composure to trouble the sons defence. Harkins was unlucky with a 25 yard effort, and soon after Hemmings seen his effort cleared off the line.

The second half was mainly a scrappy affair with the pitch cutting up now did not help the flow of football. Dundee came close a couple of times in the dying minutes. But it will be a replay at Dens to settle this tie.

Dundee: Bain, McGinn, O'Dea, Konrad, Holt, McGowan, Ross (Arturo 71), Stewart, Harkins, Loy (Low 78), Hemmings. Unused Subs: Mitchell (gk), Etxabeguren, Gadzhalov, Kerr, Wighton
