Ross County hit the bar early on and maybe should have scored with that move. Dundee did play some good stuff at times with striker Colin Nish making his debut looking dangerous. Dundee had two half chances in the first half Colin Nish headed wide from a Benedictus cross, and Gary Irvine hit the post from a tight angle. Rab Douglas had a couple of saves but nothing to worry about.
Second half and with Kyle Benedictus had to come off after he was still suffering from a head knock he had picked up in the first half. Lewis Toshney came on and he looks comfy in defence. On the hour mark Mark Stewart went off injured with Martin Boyle coming on.
As the game looked to heading for a 0-0 draw defender McGregor gave away a penalty after a silly challenge on Corcoran. Brittain gave Rab Douglas no chance with a well taken spot kick.
Dundee tried hard to get back into the game but failed to create anything clear cut, only a McAlister header was near the target.
Dundee need to score soon to get the confidence going again, l thought Martin Boyle looked sharp and it's a pity he is suspended for Wednesday's trip to Hampden to face Queen's Park in the League Cup.
Dundee: Douglas, Benedictus (Toshney 47) Baird (84), Conroy, McGregor, Grassi, Irvine, O'Donnell, Davidson, McAlister, Nish, Stewart (Boyle 60) Subs Not Used: Alex Baird, Lockwood, Milne, Webster.
