Dundee 2 Raith Rovers 0, Dens Park, First Division, 24/April/10

Dundee won their last home game of the season beating Raith Rovers 2-0, in a good performance they seemed so much more positive than Wednesday night. Raith did threaten on the break and Soapy Soutar made a good stop from a header. Dundee did have a few chance in the first half, but could not find the killer touch. With Shinnie making positive forward runs.

Second half and Dundee took the game to Raith, and it was not long before they took the lead. Shinnie was fouled just outside the box, and Sean Higgins curled a great free kick into the top corner of the net. After that Dundee had a few more chances, but made it 2-0 seven minutes later, when a Raith player handled in the six yard box, Up stepped Gary Harkins to score with ease from the penalty spot.

So that was all the scoring for the day to send the Dundee fans home happy with the three points. We just need one point to seal second place in the league.

Dundee: Soutar, Lauchlan, McKeown, O'Leary, Paton, Shinnie, Kerr, Harkins, Forsyth, McMenamin, Higgins. Subs Not Used: Geddes, Hutchinson, Clarke, Hart, Klimp.
