Livingston 1, Dundee 2, Tony Macoroni Arena, Ladbrokes Premiership, 16-February-19
Dundee fielded the same team which drew with Kilmarnock 10 days ago. They started well and should have been 2-0 up when Nelson and Wright both missed the goal from six yards out.
Livingston was dealt a big blow when Bryne was sent off after a late challenge on Andy Dales. It made Livi sit back and hit Dundee on the break. And they went ahead when the ball was nodded on at the near post and Halkett forced the ball home. Dundee continued to push forward but missed a few chances when they could not hit the target.
Dundee made a change just after half time McGowan replacing Hadenius, they nearly scored soon after when Dales shot was just wide off the far post.
At last after 53 minutes Dundee levelled when Scott Wright picked up the ball and sent over a great cross for Andrew Nelson to send a looping header home to the delight of the Dundee fans. Just minutes later and McGowan should have scored but he put his shot wide from 8 yards out.
It was all Dundee now as they looked to win the game. Jesse Curran who had come on for Andy Dales and he made a great run towards the goal and he was fouled to give Dundee a free kick. Up stepped Scott Wright to score a wonderful goal from 25 yards out.
Seny Dieng had to make a great double save to keep Dundee in the lead . But after that Dundee held on to take the priceless points home to dens park.
The win today lifted Dundee into 10th place for the first time in ages.

Dundee continued to play fine football and finished the first half well on top.
Second half and Kilmarnock changed their shape a pushed Dundee back, it was no surprize when Burke fired home a great free kick to level the score at 2-2. It was Killie who were on top now and Dundee had to battle well to stay in the game.

Hamilton Accies 1, Dundee 1, CBD Hope Stadium, Ladbrokes Premiership, 02-Feb-19
Dundee manager Jim McIntyre made six changes to the team that played at Queen of the South, no fewer than five of whom were making their debut. James Horsfield, Ryan McGowan, Ethan Robson, Andreas Hadenius and Scott Wright all had their first starts and Martin Woods returned after being ill. Cammy Kerr, Paul McGowan and Kenny Miller were on the bench and Darren O’Dea was not in the squad.
Hamilton started slightly better than Dundee in a scrappy game, but as the half progressed Dundee started to threaten the Accies goal. Curran and Dales were unlucky with two good efforts.
Early into the second half and Dundee were forced to make a change when Ethan Robson went off holding his groin and Paul McGowan came on.
Ryan McGowan did well to cut out a dangerous McMann cross, but it was the Dee who scored from the resulting corner following a fast break. Curran kept the ball in play on the right switching the ball infield for Paul McGowan who tried to send Ralph clear. The ball broke to Scott Wright, who made space cleverly before a cool finish from 12 yards.
Seny Dieng then pulled off a superb save to deny Hamilton a goal, the on loan keeper kept out a certain goal after the ball was deflected towards the goal. Dundee should have wrapped up the points but as time slipped in to injury time MacKinnon scored for the Accies. His rising shot gave Dieng no chance from the edge of the box.
The new signings all played well and gives us hope that we can stay up, it was another point gained on St Mirren who lost 4-0 at Ibrox.
Dundee: Dieng, Horsfield, Ryan McGowan, Kusunga, Ralph, Hadenius, Robson (Paul McGowan 60), Woods,Wright, Dales (O’Sullivan 77)Craig Curran (Miller 77), Unused Subs: Parish , Kerr, Nelson, Moore.
