Morton 0 Dundee 1, Cappielow Park, First Division, 17/October/09

Dundee had to battle hard to earn a much needed win, and a great goal from inform striker Leigh Griffths sealed the points. Dundee started slowly and Morton had a few chances, we seemed happy to hit on the break with the midfield sitting a bit deep. Morton almost broke the deadlock when Tony Bullock parried Peter Weatherson's effort and Jim McAlister's follow up was blocked on the line by David Cowan. Our efforts in the first half was a Klimpl shot which just about hit the corner flag, also Leigh Griffiths had one chalked off for offside. Into the second half and Dundee have a double escape when Bullock then turned a Weatherson shot onto the post, and McGuffie had two headers saved. Dundee did have a Colin McMenamin goal chalked off for offside. It looked good from where I was sitting. Then with 13min remaining neat play on the wing and McHale floated a perfect ball over into the path of Leigh Griffths who kept his cool and lobbed the keeper from 15 yards , a true class finish.
Dundee: Bullock, Paton, Malone, Klimpl, MacKenzie, Cowan, Hart (Kerr 83), McHale, Griffiths (Higgins 90), McMenamin (Clarke 75), Forsyth. Subs Not Used: Cameron, Soutar.
