Dundee 1, Ross County 1, Dens Park, SPFL Championship, 04-January-15

Dundee entertained bottom club Ross County to Dens Park on Sunday, manager Paul Hartley made four changes to the team in came Scott Bain in goal, Paul McGinn returned after his one match ban , Kevin Thomson  after injury and loan signing Alex Harris made his debut.

Both sides started well with good efforts being made towards both goals, a wild tackle from Dunfield on McGinn and County were down to ten men after only nine minutes gone, it would be changes to their line up and they sat back and kept things tight. Dundee had a few decent chances with Stewart not having a good day in front of goal. But the best miss was to come when Clarkson was set up with a easy tap in but atlas the striker somehow missed the goal gaping. Gary Irvine had a good chance but his shot went just wide of the near post.

Second half and the dark blues looked for the opening goal and they got it when good play from Harris and the ball fell nicely to Jim McAlister who scored with a delightful taken goal. Soon after and sub Tankulic should have put the home side two nil up but somehow hit the post when a certain goal looked on the cards. Minutes later and they paid for that miss McGowan lost the ball in midfield and when Kiss's cross fell to the six yard box Curran was on had to score a vital goal for the staggies. Dundee kept at the task of trying to get a winner, but in the end had to settle for a point
