Dundee moved to the top of the league with a hard fought victory at Dens Park. The Dundee fans won't care about the heavy rain and windy conditions. Dundee took the lead after 15 m
inutes when Colin McMenamin fired home from close range after a goalmouth scramble. Raith levelled three minutes later when Darren Smith slotted the ball home from Gregory Tade's accurate cross. Defender Gary MacKenzie restored Dundee's lead after being fed by Leigh Griffiths. After the break Gary Harkins, on for Griffiths, who left the field to a richly deserved standing ovation, fired in a low shot but Raith keeper David McGurn saved superbly. McGurn repeated the feat with 10 minutes remaining when he scrambled to his right to beat away Sean Higgins's low drive when the Dundee man was one on one with him. In injury time on form Tony Bullock made a wonder save to keep a Walker header out, which was heading for the top corner. The 3 points were sealed and top place was secured.
Dundee: Bullock, Paton, Malone, Klimpl (Harkins 71), MacKenzie, Lauchlan, McHale, Kerr, Griffiths (Higgins 83), McMenamin, Forsyth. Subs Not Used: Soutar, Casement, Clarke.
