Dundee scraped into the next round of the Scottish cup, I don't think they played all that bad. But again gave away a cheap goal, when slack play let Ayr in and McManus scored with ease. Not long after and Ayr could have made it 2 nil, but Gary macKenzie done well to block on the line. Dundee did have chances as well and when Leigh Griffiths broke clear, he played Gary Harkins in with only the keeper to beat. But somehow he put it wide. But on 41 mins Dundee drew level when Sparky's shot was blocked and new striker Ben Hutchinson shot home to level the tie at half-time. In the second half and Dundee basically dominated the game, with Ayr having little to offer, but it took a mistake from keeper Samson to give Dundee the victory, when from a Harkins cross he choose to punch the ball against Griffiths and the ball ended up in the net. That was about that, we go down to Ayr on league business on Saturday, we must stop giving soft goals away.
