Dundee 0, St Mirren 1, Dens Park, cinch Premiership, 09-March-22

Dundee
again had to make changes when Luke McCowan and Niall McGinn returned to the starting line up in place of Shaun Byrne and Vontae Daley-Campbell. A vital game for Dundee and they need the points as tougher games are coming up. 

Both teams knocked the ball about with out either keeper getting tested, Dundee had few efforts at goal and only a deflected shot from Max Anderson which went wide. It was much like that in the first half.

Second half and Dundee did much the same as the first half, they had efforts at goal which all went wild. The one thing that got me was a few decent crosses were put in but nobody up front to attack the ball.

St Mirren  should have scored but some how the player put the ball over the ball, it should have been a goal. Dundee tried to go forward but some of the players were now getting tired.

Dundee made two changes with Shaun Byrne and Zak Rudden being introduced in place of Luke McCowan and Declan McDaid but it was the visitors who continued with the pressure.

St Mirren looked the better side and had good efforts on goal, and a headed goal ruled out for a foul. But in injury time they got the winner when Ronan headed home. A poor goal to lose as he was not picked up. 

This goal will make it very hard for Dundee to stay up as the game will be harder before the split. I can only back my team on which l will do.
