A 38th-minute penalty from Gary Harkins proved enough for Dundee as they gained a much-needed victory over the Pars. The visitors gave away a needless penalty when goalkeeper Greg Fleming dived in on Colin McMenamin. Harkins kept a cool head, slotting the spot-kick past Fleming, to claim 3 vital points. Dundee's win lifts them back into second place but the First Division favourites failed to put on a convincing performance.
Dundee: Bullock, Paton, Malone, Klimpl (Cameron 87), MacKenzie, Lauchlan (Cowan 72), McHale, Kerr, Griffiths (Higgins 85), McMenamin, Harkins.Subs Not Used: Douglas, Clarke.

I missed the last two games, so can't say how we played, but by reports says that we defended well, and good Gary McKenzie had a good game. As it will be a much needed boost.
