Livingston 1 Dundee 1, Almondvale, 09/02/08

Dundee boss Alex Rae has warned his faltering stars they can wave goodbye to their title dream unless they stop hiding on the pitch.Rae saw his stuttering side fall seven points behind Hamilton in the race for the SPL after the draw with Livi. Dee were unfortunate not to take the lead in seven minutes when Gary McKenzie's header smacked the post. But it was Livi who edged ahead in 26 minutes as Dundee's static defence failed to deal with Craig James' corner to allow Snodgrass to head home. Dundee were being outplayed but a minute before the interval were thrown a lifeline when ref Scott MacDonald awarded a penalty. Ex-Livi striker Colin McMenamin tumbled under pressure from Lee Makel and James McPake. Although home defender McPake won the ball the spot-kick was given. The decision incensed Livi but on-loan Hibs striker Antoine-Curier kept his cool to slot past Colin Stewart. Dundee rarely threatened after the break and had to rely on some fine saves from Ludovic Roy to deny Snodgrass and sub Leigh Giffiths. With four minutes to go Dundee lost Czech defender Milan Palenik when he collected a second booking for a foul on Steven Craig. A poor display from Dundee, and with Hamilton winning 3-0 the gap is now 7 points..at least StJohnstone got beat at Queen of the South..
