Dundee lost 3-0 in their final league game of the season, Dundee started the game well and looked the more dangerous side but a breakaway United took the lead in the 8th minute a long ball over the Dundee defence caught them square and Ciftci raced clear and he managed to get passed Dundee keeper Letheren who completely missed the ball to score. Worse was to follow for the Dark Blues when Referee Madden pointed to the spot after Thomas Konrad had fouled Ciftici in the box. It looked a bit soft but the United striker made it 2-0. That was the half-time score with maybe only a Tankulic shot which forced the United keeper into a save.
Second half was only five minutes old and the home side made it 3-0 when after a good passing move put Spittal in the clear and he beat Letheren to score. This ended the game as a contest and sadly for Dundee they were just good enough on the day. We were bullied all over the park and hope Dundee add more strength to their line up for next season.
This was Kyle Letheren's last game for the club result wise he would have wished for better, Kyle will be remembered for that save against Dumbarton which sealed the championship last season.

Dundee 1, Aberdeen 1, Dens Park, SPFL Premiership, 16-May-2015
Dundee drew 1-1 with their North East Rivals in a game Dundee should have won, but a late Adam Rooney goal won a point for the Dons. Dundee had taken the lead just before half-time when good play put Tankulic clear and the striker lobbed keeper Brown to score.
In the second half Dundee had chances to make sure of the win with good efforts from Stewart and McGowan. Then in the fourth minute of injury time Rooney levelled from close range. I don't know where the Ref got 4 minutes from as there were no injuries. But that is football sometimes!

Celtic 5, Dundee 0, Celtic Park, SPFL Premiership, 01-May-2015
Dundee went down to a heavy defeat at the hands of Champions Celtic, Dundee's display tonight was way short of what is required at grounds like this in the league. It was 2-0 at half-time with Griffiths(29) heading home, Brown made it 2 nil after 36 minutes.
Second half was mainly one way traffic and Commons (71) made it 3-0 from the spot, soon after it was 4-0 when Forrest(77) scored a fine solo goal. The final goal was on the 90th minute when Bitton curled home a beauty from 30 yards out.

Dundee 0, St Johnstone 2, Dens Park, SPFL Premiership, 25-April-2015
Dundee gave a very flat performance in this game with Perth Saints coming out well deserved winners by Two goals to nil. Dundee offered very little in the first half and were lucky to go in all square at the break.
Perth Saints did take the lead when Swanson cut inside and shot across goal beat Dundee keeper Scott Bain to open the scoring. It looked a soft one to lose and things got worse soon after when Greg Stewart got sent off for a second bookable offence. The six minutes later Bain saved well from a Swanson shot, the ball fell kindly to Wotherspoon who's shot was going wide until Iain Davidson stuck out a leg and put the past Bain and into the net.
Dundee made changes but Perth Saints were well in command and ran out worthy winners, with this result European place looks very difficult now.
Dundee: Bain, Paul McGinn, McPake, Konrad (Davidson, half time), Dyer, McGowan, Thomson, McAlister, Stewart, Heffernan (Tankulic 56), Clarkson (Wighton 64). Unused Subs: Letheren (gk), Black, Stephen McGinn, Harris
