Ross County 1 Dundee 1, Victoria Park, First Division, 27/March/10

Dundee came away from Dingwall with a hard earned point, it was nearly 3 points with Ross County scoring with just 3 minutes remaining. In the first half it was end to end stuff, and Dundee nearly scored when Hutchinson's effort came back of the post , and County cleared. So 0-0 at half-time.

What a start to the second half when a great through ball found Griffiths who chested it down to Hutchinson, who took a touch and smashed the ball into the top corner to give Dundee the lead. Dundee did have more chances and Griffiths was unlucky twice when shots went just wide. Dundee made changes with Higgins on for Hutchinson, and McKeown comes on for Griffiths. Now Dundee have 5 at the back. Ross County come forward and finally score in 87 minutes when Craig scored with a shot just inside the box. So 1-1 it ended, maybe Dundee have paid for sitting too deep at the end. We need to get that second killer goal.

Dundee: Bullock, Paton, MacKenzie, O'Leary, Malone, Hart, Klimpl, Kerr, Harkins, Griffiths, Hutchison. Subs: Soutar, Mckeown, Forsyth, Shinnie, Higgins.

The points dropped mean Inverness Caley Thistle go top, after they won 1-0 at Partick Thistle, elsewhere Queen of the South beat Dunfermline 2-0. I see it as a three horse race now. Up next is Dunfermline Ath away on Tuesday, while Inverness CT host rivals Ross County.
