Kilmarnock 1, Dundee 1, Rugby Park, William Hill Premiership, 30-November-24

Dundee nearly started with the  same team which finished the Hibernian game, with Clark Robertson out injured and Jon McCracken took over from Trevor Carson who had a slight knock. 

Dundee started well and were the better team in the first tens minutes, they stepped up a gear and created several chance.

Josh Mulligan burst past Robbie Deas on the left and his cut back was battered goalwards by Jordan McGhee. It took a fine save by Robbie McCrorie to deny Dundee an early lead. McGhee headed over from the resulting corner. A minute later Lyall Cameron rifled a low 20 yard narrowly past the post.

Again Mulligan got to the byeline and his cross was somehow missed by Murray when a goal looked certain. 

But as the first half went on the play became a bit scrappy and both teams stuggled a wee bit.

Second half and Dundee replaced Sylla with Ethan Ingram , with Mulligan moved into midfield,. Kilmarnock stepped up and looked the better side for a spell.

Dundee themselves struggled and Jon McCraken had to make a couple of good saves, but then Dundee replaced Josh Mulligan with Seun Adewumi, 

It paid off a few minutes later a good run and cutback from Adewumi and the ball fell nicely to Lyall Cameron who finished well high into the net. 

Kilmarnock made three subs and it paid off 9 minutes later when Wales scored with a fine powerfull shot. They went for the winner and McCraken again saved well and Dundee earned a well deserved point away from home. 

Dundee: McCracken, Astley, Portales, Koumetio, Mulligan (Adewumi 66), Cameron, McGhee, Sylla (Ingram at half time), Fin Robertson, Palmer-Houlden, Murray (c). Unused Subs: Sharp (gk), Tiffoney, Kelly, Braybrooke, Vetro.
