Dundee 1, Ross County 2, Dens Park, cinch Premiership, 05-February-22

Dundee made two team changes Zak Rudden came in for his first start and Jordan McGhee started in midfield. Danny Mullen and Charlie Adam were both on the bench for the visit of Ross County. 

Dundee just about took the lead in the first minute when McMullen hit the ball with a good effort. Soon after a Anderson shot was deflected just wide, County did attack as well and Legzdins  done well to save. 

Dundee looked good going forward and they scored a well worked goal when McMullen found McGhee and his chip pass was smashed into the net by Zak Rudden for his first goal for the club.

In the last five minutes off the half it should have been 2-0 great play from Rudden and McMullen and his cross found Anderson who's shot went straight to the keeper, it came of his thigh so very unlucky.

In injury time County levelled with a good worked goal, but terrible from Dundee's point of view. The second half will be interesting now to say the least.

Dundee had a few early chances but failed to take them, but soon after the referee gave County a penalty after the ball hit Cammy Kerr in the box. Adam Legzdins guessed well and made a fine diving save.

After Sweeney and Kerr went for the same ball they clashed and the County striker went on and score the vital second goal. 

Dundee made changes but it still failed to produce anything clear and the closest was Danny Mullen shot which was saved on the line. 

Time ran out and that puts Dundee in a difficult place at the bottom of the league, three defeats to Ross County this season has done a lot of damage to them. 

Hearts and Celtic next both away from home so it does not get any easier, we can only hope for points.
