Dundee made four changes from the team that played Motherwell. Jordan Marshall, Ryan Sweeney and Alex Jakubiak returned to the starting eleven, and Leigh Griffiths made his debut, second time around. Jason Cummings and Liam Fontaine moved onto the bench, while Charlie Adam and Paul McMullan were injured.
Dundee started well and McGhee had a early chance but his cross was too close to the keeper, then McCowan sent Max Anderson clear but his shot was well saved by the Livi keeper.
Luke McCowan had a 20 yard shot deflected over the bar as Dundee pushed for the opener. Leigh Griffiths then missed with a header, again the Livi keeper saved well when he pushed a Ryan Sweeney header on to the bar.
Second half and the game became a bit flat, Cammy Kerr had a effort but he sent it over the bar. McCowan and Griffiths had half chances as the game got worse with too many stray balls as both teams struggled in the last twenty minutes.
Dundee made made changes Jason Cummings and Declan McDaid replaced Alex Jakubiak and Luke McCowan.
So it ended a draw which Dundee will look at two points dropped, we need to start winning our home games and hopefully get our first league win at Tannadice next Sunday.
