Dundee lost 3-1 at Raith on Saturday, they scored after only 5 minutes when new winger Paul McMullan crossed for Osman Sow to score from six yards. Dundee were well on top , but against the run of play Rovers levelled when Ex Dee Benedictus headed home. It was a poor goal to lose as he had a free header inside the six yard box.
Jack Hamilton had to make a couple of saves to keep the score level at the break. Dundee started the second half well but after 10 minutes Rovers took the lead when right back Tumilty, who had been covering in the centre circle. He ran in to take a touch, and let rip from 30 yards, sending a dipping shot flying inside Hamilton’s right hand post.
On the hour mark Kennedy delivered the sort of goal from the left wing that he had been threatening. After skipping inside Elliott he scored with a beautifully flighted curler around Hamilton.
Dundee replaced Paul McMullan with Jason Cummings, and then Shaun Byrne with Danny Mullen. It made no difference. The rest of the game will vanish quickly from the memory as neither side could do anything to worry the goalkeepers.
Rovers were happy to sit back and just hit on the break . Only bonus for Dundee is young defenders Malachi Fagan-Walcott and Sam Fisher done well on their debuts.
Next up for the Dark Blues is Inverness Caley Thistle at Dens on Saturday. A must three point now given the closeness of the top six teams.
Dundee: Hamilton, Elliott, Fagan-Walcott, Fisher, Marshall, Moore, Byrne (Mullen 64), Adam, McMullann (Cummings 55), Sow, McGowan. Unused Subs: Ferrie, Kerr, Robertson, Anderson, Cameron.
