Dundee 1 Queen of the South 1, Dens Park, 06/Jan/07


Dundee could only draw 1-1 with Queeen of the South at Dens on Saturday in the 3rd Round of the Scottish Cup tie. With only twelve fit players to pick from. Alex Rae even had to play upfront. We started brightly and had a few chances but Queen's keeper was in fine form. We did score on the 38th minute when Derek Lyle scored with a header from a Paul Dixon cross. But Queen of the South scored with the last kick of the ball of the first-half.
We again started well in the second half and had a few chances. But the Doomhammers came back into it and Ludovic Roy had a few good saves. We then lost Gavin Swankie to injury and Alex Rae also came off for Brian Clark and striker Robert Campbell. In the closing stages Clark just about scored from 20 yards out but a Queen's defender cleared off the line.
So the replay will be a week on Tuesday, and if we get through we will play Brechin City or Cowdenbeath at home in the 4th Round.
