Raith Rovers 0, Dundee 3, Starks Park, Betfred Cup, 13-July-19

Dundee started their first game in the BetFred Cup with a 3-0 win at Raith Rovers on Saturday. They started the game well and Andrew Nelson scored with a well taken goal after just 14 minutes. After 29 minutes it was 2-0 after McDaid was fouled in the box. Andrew Nelson blasted the ball home with ease to put Dundee in full control.

Second half going by reports Dundee were in control, although Rovers did play a bit better, but a third goal sealed the win for the dark blues. A neat lay-off by Byrne to play in Craig Curran to get his first goal for the club. 

My brother told me they were a lot more positive going forward, and he said the team played well.  Early days yet so l won't get carried away. Next up is the trip to Cove Rangers who have our ex boss Paul Hartley in charge.

Dundee: Hamilton, Kerr, Meekings , McGhee, Marshall, Ness, Byrne, McDaid (Curran 72), McGowan, Todd (Robertson 67), Nelson (Cameron 79). Unused Subs: Ferrie , Forster, Mulligan, Cunningham.
