Dundee 3 Stirling Albion 1, Dens Park, 08/Dec/07


In what was a poor first half for Dundee-when they failed to penetrate the Stirling defence, with the long ball not working. Alex Rae made changes when he took off Jan Zemlik and put on Derek Lyle, and it paid off ........Dundee burst into life with three second-half goals to go level on points with First Division leaders Hamilton. The home side were first to strike when Gavin Swankie lined up Scott Robertson neatly for the opening goal. Midfielder Kevin McDonald fired in a glorious 25-yard effort to double the lead and Derek Lyle added a third after a quick free-kick by Paul McHale. Stirling Albion battled bravely but Steven Bell's angled 20-yard strike proved mere consolation. A massive result for Dundee and with the news that Hamilton had lost 2-0 at Livi, made it even better...
