Dundee 0, Hibernian 0, Dens Park, cinch Premiership, 02-March-22

Dundee made five changes to the team, in came Jordan Marshall, Charlie Adam, Paul McMullen, Paul McGowan and Niall McGinn started. The five players who dropped out were Vontae Daley-Campbell, Zeno Ibsen Rossi, Josh Mulligan and Shaun Byrne who shifted onto the bench and Zak Rudden who was unavailable for Covid related reasons, as were Luke McCowan and Christie Elliot.

Dundee started slowly and visitors Hibernian were much the same, Jordan McGhee was unlucky when he shot over the bar after a good move. Hibs had forced Lawlor into a couple of saves but nothing to worry the keeper. 

Second half was just as slow but sparked into life when Charlie Adam came very close to a goal, his shot shaved the post. Hibernian were down to ten men when Bushiri was sent off for a off ball foul. 

This helped Dundee to have a spell but they failed to score as the game ended in a draw. Poor stuff from both teams in my view. Dundee will see it as points dropped which is vital in their fight to stay in the league. At least it was a lot better than last Saturday.

McMullan, McGowan, McGinn (Daley-Campbell 80), Mullen. Unused Subs: Sharp (gk), Fontaine, McDaid, Chapman, Mulligan, Ibsen Rossi.
