Dundee had plenty of the ball but failed to create any clear cut chances. Both Fontaine and Ashcroft hit the bar with headers as the half came to a close.
Dundee made two changes at half time when Christie Elliott and Jason Cummings came on for Cammy Kerr and Alex Jakubiak. Montrose struggled to create anything as well and only a McMullen effort which went wide gave Dundee hope of a break through.
Dundee made another two changes when Max Anderson and Luke McCowan replaced Charlie Adam and Paul McGowan, and the youthful energy of the substitutes allowed the Dee to take total control and finish off the Gable Endies.
Six minutes later and it payed off McCowan played in Marshall who was fouled in the box, Jason Cummings scored with ease from the spot.
Two minutes later Cummings turned a McMullan cross into the path of McGhee, allowing him to shoot from 18 yards. Fleming saved well, but Luke McCowan followed up to blast in his first goal for the Dark Blues.
Dundee seen the game out without any more goals and it was good to get another win, clean sheet and it puts Dundee top of the table with one game to go.
