Tickets Sorted For Inverness

I will travel up on Friday with my wife Carmie and our two sons Andrew and Alexander, it will be Andrew's first live game watching Dundee. I just hope he is our lucky mascot for the day as our record up there is absolutely terrible.

Dundee 1, Kilmarnock 2, Ladbrokes Premiership, Dens Park, 24-October-15

Dundee lost 2-1 at home to Kilmarnock, the defeat means that they slip down to 7th place in the table. Paul Hartley make a few changes due to injury, and boldly played with 4 strikers. Killie scored early when Magennis headed home and by reports Dundee struggled to pass the ball in the first half with the midfield being over run.

Killie increased their lead early in the second half when Smith made it 2-0, changes were made and Dundee improved and they looked to get back into the game. They finally scored after good play from Stewart and McGinn and his cross was headed home superbly by Rhys Healey. Dundee pushed forward in the last ten minutes, the closest the came was when a McGinn header was were saved by the Killie keeper. Kilmarnock held out to claim the three points.

Dundee need to start game in a more positive manner if not it will be a long season ahead and a possible dogfight at the the bottom of the league.

Dundee: Bain, McGinn, McPake, Meggatt (Gadzhalov), Holt, Harkins (McGowan), Ross, Stewart
Hemmings (Low), Loy, Healey. Unused Subs: Gourlay (gk), Irvine, Konrad, Calder.

Dens Park Round Up

Dundee 3, Ross County 3, Dens Park, SPFL Premiership, 26-September-15

Dundee came back to earn a well deserved point against high flying Ross County, Boyce scored after 19 minutes to put the visitors ahead totally against the run of play. But Dundee took only one minute to draw level when Greg Stewart scored a delightful goal. Just before half-time County hit Dundee with two goals, the first was a own goal from McPake, and just before Gardyne made the half-time score 3-1. Second half and Dundee started positively and got their rewards when Rory Loy scored from the spot after McPake had been pulled in the box. Dundee pushed forward and drew level when a great run from McGinn who passed to Rory Loy to finish well to send Dens wild. They could have won the game late on as Stewart was tripped in the box but the ref waved on.

Dundee: Bain, McGinn, Konrad, McPake (Konrad 72), Holt, Stewart, Thomson (Harkins 67), Ross, Calder, Hemmings (Healey 78), Loy. Unused Subs: Gourlay (gk), Meggatt, Dryden, Curran
 
Celtic 6, Dundee 0, Celtic Park, SPFL Premiership, 20-September -15

As the score line suggests Dundee were not at the races, my way of thinking is to have a good go when playing in Glasgow, and play with at least two strikers upfront. The likelihood  is that you will still get beat but have a go, and not looking like the game is over after 15 minutes. I was off for this one but l saved my money for the trip to Inverness at the end of October. I'm glad that l did. Going by reports Dundee were lucky not to concede 7 or 8 goals on the day.

Dundee: Bain, McGinn, Konrad, McPake, Irvine, Thomson (Loy 59), Ross, Harkins (Calder 59)
Low, Stewart, Hemmings (Healey 66). Unused Subs: Gourlay (gk), Holt, Carreiro, Meggatt
