Ross County 1, Dundee 3, Global Energy Stadium, Ladbrokes Premiership, 6th August 2016

Dundee travelled up to Dingwall in the hope of 3points and a good start to the season, and the DFC fans were not disappointed with the dark blues coming away with all 3 points. Greg Stewart was ruled out with a injury and plenty rumours of Greg signing for a club in England were doing the rounds in the pub before the game.

Dundee started well and had a few chances before taking the lead in 13 minutes when a great ball from Williams released O'Hara and his cut back was well finished by Rory Loy to give Dundee a 1 nil lead, just before the goal Kevin Holt had cleared one off the line. Soon after and O'Hara had a great chance but put his effort just wide. Dundee were well on top and they got a penalty after O'Hara was fouled in the box. Up stepped Rory Loy to drill the ball home to the delight of the big Dundee support behind the goal. That was the score at half-time and it well deserved after a good half.


Second half and County pushed Dundee back and the defence and midfield done well clearing their lines and as the rain got heavier. A great break away from Dundee sealed the 3 points a great ball from Loy to Duffy who first time ball send Paul McGowan free to score number three. A great goal and it was vintage Dundee.

Ross County kept going and finally scored when Curran finish in the six yard box. Scott Bain had a few good saves but that is how the game finished and it was happy DFC fans who left Dingwall. A great team performance and l thought all the team played well. My MOM went to Kevin Holt who had his best game for the Dee
