Can't really say how they played due to working on Sunday. Cammy Kerr gave Dundee the lead on 18 minutes with a left foot strike to give Dundee a good start. They failed to add to this in the first 45 minutes.
The game totally changed in a three minute spell Elgin City levelled when Omar hit a cracking shot home giving Ferrie no chance, then 2 minutes later Calum Ferrie clashed with Hester after a short pass back from Mackie, the ball falls to Sutherland who nets. A minute later and Calum Ferrie is given a straight red by the Referee.
Dundee took off Mackie for sub keeper Harrison Sharp to make his debut for the remaining 31 minutes. Dundee failed to get level , and reports of the game suggest Elgin could have added to their tally.
Glad I missed this game, it is sometimes the desire to win that counts in Cup ties, and Dundee have been lacking this for a long time apart from the odd game. It will be a learning curve for Manager James McPake who might see the task ahead for the dark blues.
Dundee: Ferrie, Kerr, McGhee, Meekings (c), Mackie (Sharp 59), Ness (Nelson at half time), Byrne (Anderson 75), Todd, McGowan, McDaid, Hemmings. Unused Subs: Forster, Moore, Mulligan, Cunningham.
