Dundee 4, Brora Rangers 0, Dens Park, Premier Sports Cup, 13th July 2021

Dundee started ten of the players who faced Kilmarnock in the play-offs at the end of last season . Only one to miss out was Danny Mullen who is injured his place was taken by Alex Jakubiak .

In the early stages of the game is was all Dundee pressing forward at pace. It Dundee 14 minutes to take the lead. Paul McMullan  raced away down the right past Williamson. His low cross was left by Charlie Adam, setting up Paul McGowan to smash home the opening goal from six yards.

Jordan McGhee and Lee Ashcroft both had good efforts saved by the Brora keeper but Dundee double their lead on 34 minutes. Charlie Adam evaded a rash challenge and from the byline the Dee captain picked out Paul McMullan  who had a close range tap in to claim his first goal for the Dee.

Second half and three minutes after the restart Jordan Marshall’s cross found Paul McMullan. He took the ball down and cracked home the third goal from 16 yards. 

Two minutes later Cammy Kerr sent Paul McMullan racing away down the right. He beat his man and fired over a low cross for Alex Jakubiak at the far post to stroke home his first goal for Dundee.

Brora were lucky not to six or seven on the night as Dundee were so much in control, Dundee made changes with Luke McCowan and Jason Cummings coming on for Charlie Adam and Alex Jukubiak.

Both strikers came close to scoring with Cummings hitting the bar late on with a fine effort.

Happy with the win and performance, it was also great to see a game at Dens after 493 days.
