Dundee 0 Raith Rovers 0, Dens Park, First Divison, 18/September/10

Dundee drew 0-0 with Raith Rovers at Dens, in which we can thank Rab Douglas who made a fabulous save from Baird's spot kick. Centre half Milan Musan made his debut after signing on a month's loan from Celtic.

In the first half we had a few chances, but Griffiths missed both of them. The first he just failed to turn the ball home at the back post, and then he was clean through but the ball got tangled up among his feet and he put the ball just wide. Then at the other end after Raith had got back into the game, Tate went down after a Adam's challenge and Ref Somners pointed to the spot, a very soft award to the disbelief of the Dundee support. But Rab Douglas made a brilliant stop, in Dundee's next move Harkins fired over when he should have done better.
Second half and not many too chances were created, with both side untroubled with Dundee hitting too many long balls up to the strikers, we need to do better midfield wise. So a draw was fair in the end.


Dundee: Douglas, Paton, McKeown, Misun, Lockwood, Riley (Higgins 76), Adams, O'Donnell (Forsyth 69), Harkins, Kuqi (McMenamin 58), Griffiths. Subs Not Used: Fox, Irvine.
