Dundee made two changes in goal Adam Legzdins replaced Ian Lawlor, who was ruled out by his concussion injury. Tyler French came in at right wing back, replacing Josh Mulligan who moved into an attacking role as Paul McMullan took up a slightly deeper 10 position behind the strikers with Max Anderson named as a substitute.
The opening period of the game was not evenful with both keepers not tested, but six minutes later Dundee took the lead. Ben Williamson made a good run and he fed the ball to Paul McMullan who cut inside and curled the ball home for a superb opening goal of the game.
Soon after Dundee broke and Rudden's cross came off a defenders and the bar saved Inverness CT, soon after Cammy Kerr went close with a shot. Inverness CT hit back and good defending by Tyler French saved the day when he nipped in to clear.
In the second half Inverness CT came out to attack but failed to trouble Dundee too much, Dundee attacked as well in a more composed mood.
Fin Robertson, Luke McCowan and Derick Osei came on for Shaun Byrne, Ben Williamson and Zak Rudden. The change gave the Dark Blues some added energy and the Dee always looked more likely to kill the game off in the later stages than conceded an equaliser.
Luke mcCowan came close late on but the kepper saved well from his effort, Dundee saw the game out and earned their first win in the league at a differcult venue.
Dundee fans were happy today and getting the win was vital as it pushes the club up to second in the table.
