Dundee 4, Motherwell 1, Dens Park, SPFL Premiership, 10-January-15
Dundee beat Motherwell 4-1 at Dens on the 11th of January, they got off to a dream start when Alex Harris scored in the first minute, then Greg Stewart scored soon after to put the dark blues in control. The men from Fir Park pulled one back when John Sutton scored. Dundee were still well on top and Gary Irvine scored to make it 3-1 after the Well keeper dropped a cross.

Aberdeen 3, Dundee 3, Pittodrie, SPFL Premiership, 17-January-15
A week later Dundee travelled up north to take on high flying Aberdeen, they got off to a poor start when the dons took a early lead when Goodwillie scored from close range. Dundee battled away to stay in the game and got their reward when they scored twice in two minutes first Gary Irvine lashed the ball home after a great run into the box from the defender. Then a great 18 pass move ended when Greg Stewart scored after a superb Tankulic back heeler played the on form striker to put the dark blues 2-1 at the end of the first half. Second half and Gary Harkins put Dundee 3-1 up scoring with a great shot from just inside the box to send the dark blue fans wild. But sadly Aberdeen got a late penalty and in injury time they snatched a draw to make the final score 3-3.

St Mirren 1, Dundee 2, New Love St, SPFL Premiership, 24-January-15
Dundee came from behind to claim three very welcome points against struggling St Mirren who are in a dog fight at the bottom. The home side scored first when McLean fired home from 20 yards just before half time. Dundee kept battling away and levelled when Gary Irvine scored with a simple tap in after good ply from Stewart. Then with 20 minutes to go Iain Davidson scored what proved to be the winner when his shot took a slight deflection to beat the goalkeeper to send the away support wild with delight. The only down point from the game was the injuries to Gary Harkins and Iain Davidson who looked to have taken a nasty on to his ankle.
Dundee: Bain, Irvine, McPake, Gadzhalov (Tankulic 84), Dyer, Thomson, Davidson (Konrad 91)
McGowan, Harkins (Harris 64), McAlister, Stewart. Unused Subs: Letheren (gk), Ferry, Clarkson, Wighton.
Dundee 1, Hamilton 1, Dens Park, SPFL Premiership, 31-January-15
New signing Stephen McGinn was on the bench as Clarkson and Harris came in for injured pair Davidson and Harkins. The Accies were the better team in the first half with Dundee having to thank keeper Scott Bain for still to be level at half time. The young keeper made some great stops the first one so vital when he touched the ball onto the post when a certain goal looked. Second half and Accies still pressed forward and they got their reward when Canning headed home with just five minutes to go. But Dundee had Greg Stewart to thank for gaining a point when he curled home a beauty, what a find this young striker has been.
Dundee: Bain, Irvine, McPake, Gadzhalov, Dyer, McGowan, Thomson (Stephen McGinn HT)
Harris (Wighton 69), McAlister, Stewart, Clarkson (Tankulic HT). Unused Subs: Letheren (gk), Konrad, Black, Carreiro.
