The first half was very scrappy with very little to thrill the big Dundee support. Wolters hit the bar close to half time with a good effort. Rovers had a good chance but Vaughan shot wide when really he should have put the home team ahead.
Second half and Dundee did step it up a bit and played some decent football, Deacon shot over after good work from Cammy Kerr. Dundee made changes with McGowan coming on for O'Hara, later Waddell and Moussa replacing O'Dea and Wolters.
Dundee did get the vital break when after a goalmouth scramble Sofien Moussa turned to volley the ball home, it looked like the winner, but Rovers came back at the death with Vaughan scored to level the game. It looked it was going to penalties, but seconds to go Jack Hendry headed home from a Scott Allan cross to claim all three points for the dark blues.
Dundee: Bain, Kerr, Hendry, O’Dea (Waddell 80), Holt, Kamara, O’Hara (McGowan 56), Deacon, Allan, Wolters (Moussa 69), El Bakhtaoui. Unused Subs: Ferrie (gk), Williams, Spence, Wighton.
