Dundee 1, Kilmarnock 1, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 10-September-16

Dundee gave Tom Hateley his debut instead of Danny Williams, with Craig Wighton coming in for the injured Michael Duffy.

Cammy Kerr was brought down at the attacking corner flag and when new boy Tom Hateley fired the free kick into the 6 yard box, Faissal El Bakhtaoui fired the ball into the roof of the net from close range to give Dundee the lead and score his first goal for The Dee. It was the good start that Dundee needed and they quickly created some half decent chances.

Kilmarnock levelled on 32 minutes when Coulibaly scored with an overhead kick on the far corner of the six yard box which sent the ball back the way it came and past Scott Bain. A great goal for the visitors. That was the score at half-time a quick half as time just seemed to fly in.

Second half and Dundee did attack and McGowan set up Wighton but the young striker had his two shots saved by McDonald maybe the second one Craig should have done better. Then Hateley had a long range effort which just flew over the bar.


Loy and Teijsee  both came on with 15 minutes left as Dundee looked to win it, but a few minutes later Kevin Gomis was sent off after a two footed tackled earned the Dundee player a straight red.

Teijsee had a couple of chances but missed both, El Bakhtoui was then just wide with a shot from outside the box.

It ended 1-1 in a game where Dundee should have won, but one thing is pretty clear we need a striker just to take the chances we created.

Dundee: Bain, Holt, O’Dea (Etxabeguren 36’), Hateley (Loy 73’), O’Hara, Ross, McGowan, El Bakhtaoui, Kerr, Wighton (Teijsse 73’),  Gomis. Subs: Mitchell, Low, Williams, Smith
