Raith Rovers 0 Dundee 2, Starks Park, SPFL Championship, 02-January-2014
Dundee's New Year got off to a great start result wise with a fine win at Raith Rovers, two late goals from Jim McAlister sealed the points for the Dark Blues. On what l seen from the highlights and talking to DFC fans who were there it was quite a even game until the sending off. Then it turned Dundee's way, but even at 1-0 John Gibson had to make a couple of good saves to stop Raith grabbing a point.
The first goal was when Dundee were piling on the pressure near the end and the Rovers keeper dropped the ball, and Jim McAlister kept his cool to side footed the ball home to sent the Dundee fans wild, then a couple of minutes later it was 2-0 Gibson saved it was then cleared up to a Rovers player near the half way line, in nipped Wighton to nick the ball and he played a great pass to set Jim McAlister free who round the goalkeeper and then side footed the ball home.
By reports John Gibson played well when he had to replace Kyle Letheren who had injured himself taking a high cross.
Great three points for the Dark Blues and a Happy Start to Year 2014
