Ross County 2, Dundee 1, Global Energy Stadium, SPFL Premiership, 27-September-14

Dundee lost 2-1 in Dingwall this afternoon to a struggling Ross County side as they picked up their first points of the season. Dundee had to makes changes from Wednesday night with Thomas Konrad suspended Gary Harkins came into the side with Gary Irvine at centre half and Jim McAlister. Ross County took the lead on 26 minutes when a kiss pass found Gardyne who score from close range. Soon after and Kerr came on for McAlister who had taken a head knock after being hit by the ball.

 
That was the score at half-time with reports that County were the better team. Dundee made a change with Wighton replacing Tankulic, but County looked dangerous going forward. Manager Hartley put Clarkson on for Ferry in a bid to change it and three minutes later the striker scored after a run from Boyle his cross was knocked home by the on rushing David Clarkson to score his first goal for Dundee. Both teams went for a winner but it was County who scored in the last minute when Maatsen shot home to sent The Staggie fans wild.

This result did not surprize me as with injuries and tired legs after Wednesday's game would not help, it's been a long week if you support the Dark Blues..

Dundee: Letheren, McGinn, McAlister (Kerr),Irvine, McPake, Ferry (Clarkson), McGowan, Boyle, Harkins, Tankulic (Wighton). Subs Not Used: Bain, Roberts, MacDonald, McBride.
