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.
