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.
