Dundee 1, St Johnstone 0, Dens Park, cinch Premiership, 1st December 2021

Dundee made one change from Saturdays game when Liam Fontaine replaced injured Lee Ashcroft.

Dundee started well and took the game to St Johnstone, Mullen and McMullen had efforts blocked by their visitors. McCowan is looking good as well with two efforts well blocked by the saints defence.

Dundee take the lead when a Fontaine cross field pass is headed down and after being headed down falls for McGowan, he plays it into Danny Mullen who takes a touch before a lovely turn and finish, giving Clark no chance. 

Minutes before half time Adam hits the post from about 25 yards out, but at least Dundee are winning at half time.

Again Dundee have three good efforts and saints seem to be out of the game at the moment. With 20 minutes to go Griffths comes on for McGowan who by reports has played well.

Leigh Griffths has a effort ruled out for off side as Dundee look for the second goal to finish this game, Perth Saints did have a few efforts but it did not turn into any chance of goal. 

Dundee ran the clock out and a massive result for the Dark Blues this puts the club up the table to being 9th in the tough league.

I missed the game due to my ill health just now, a lot better than a few weeks ago, but it does take it's toll. It's tough just now missing games being a season ticket holder. But hopefully things will change in a few months time. 

Next up for the dark blues is a wee trip to Ibrox, let's hope the club gets a result.
