Ross County 5, Dundee 2, Victoria Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 26-December-15

Dundee lost 5-2 at Dingwall on Boxing Day, they got off to the perfect start when Kane Hemmings fired home after good play from Greg Stewart, County drew level a long ball caught out the dee defence and Boyce scored. 10 minutes into the second half and Kane Hemmings scored again with a good finish. But The Staggies went straight up the park and made it 2-2 when Gardyne scored from a tight angle. Then County made it 3-2 soon after, worse was to follow when Boyce scored twice to complete his hat-trick. Going by reports Dundee were lucky not to get six or seven in what was a total collapse in the last 30 minutes.

Dundee: Bain, Irvine (capt), Konrad, McPake, Holt, McGowan, Ross (Loy 73’), Stewart, Harkins, Low (Calder 83’), Hemmings. Dundee Subs: Mitchell, Gadzhalov, Loy, Skelly, McGinn, Kerr

Dundee 4, Hamilton Accies 0, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 19-December-15

Dundee swept Hamilton Accies away with a four goal blast in a 20 minute spell, first Kane Hemmings scored after a mix up in the Accies defence,  next goal was set up by Harkins who made a great run and his pass set up Greg Stewart to make it 2-0, soon after and it was 3-0 Hemmings again made the most of another mix up in the Accies defence. Then 5 minutes later Kane Hemmings made it 4-0 with a good run and fired home from 20 yards to complete a fine hat-trick.

It's a pity they could not add to the goal tally but 4-0 is a fine result, on the down side they lost Gary Irvine to injury with Kevin Thomson going off again.

Dundee 0, Aberdeen 2, Dens Park, SPFL Premiership, 05-December-15

Dundee were well beaten by reports two early goals for the Dons gave them the three points, team wise is was the same line up that drew at Perth. Watching the highlights it looked like Dundee done better in the second half. They have done this before just playing for 45 minutes and dropped too many points in the process. Next up is a tricky trip to Motherwell next Saturday.

Dundee: Bain, McGinn, McPake, Etxabeguren, Holt, Low, Ross (Harkins 61), McGowan, Stewart
Loy (Calder 66), Hemmings. Unused Subs: Mitchell (gk), Irvine, Konrad, Skelly, Gadzhalov
