Dundee won this game 1-0 thanks to a 66th minute goal from Zak Rudden. They started the game well enough but could not find a way to score in the final part of their many moves.
The game was a test for the squad and they had to dig deep to earn the victory. The goal came from a header from Zak Rudden from only six yards out from a good Robertson cross from a free kick on the left.
They should have scored more in the second half but failed to take easy chances on one on one with the Cove keeper.
At least the squad got a good work out and it will set them up for the game at Bonnyrigg on Tuesday when the real stuff begins.
