Dundee 0, Rangers 3, Dens Park, William Hill Premiership, 09-November-25

Dundee made three changes to the team. Luke Graham, Emile Acquah and Tony Yogane came in for Clark Robertson, who was injured, and Simon Murray and Joe Westley, who were both on the bench.

After the Remembrance Day minutes silence was done the game got underway. Dundee done okay in the first few minutes, but they lost a soft goal from a corner. A free header which was poor.

Worse was to follow when Rangers scored again 5 minutes later with another soft looking goal. This kind of finished the game as a contest as Dundee struggled to create anything of note.

Rangers had the ball in the net again but was ruled off by VAR for offside. 

At least Dundee were a wee bit better in the second half but again failed with the final pass. Jon McCracken made three great saves to deny Rangers , The last one being a full length dive.

Simon Murray and Yan Dhanda came on for Emile Acquah and Drey Wright after an hour. But it made no difference as Rangers looked more likely to do.

They made it 3-0 near the end for the final score. 

Dundee: McCracken, Astley, Koumetio, Graham, Drey Wright (Dhanda 59), Digby (c), Hamilton,  Samuels, Congreve, Acquah (Murray 59), Yogane (Reilly 81). Unused Subs: O’Hara (gk), Ingram, Donnelly, Hay, Westley, Jones.

Hearts 4, Dundee 0, Tynecastle, William Hill Premiership, 01-November-25

Dundee made one change to the team when Billy Koumetio, came in for his first league game of the season.  Luke Graham was on the bench.

In the first 20 minutes Dundee contained Hearts who were attacking but they never troubled the Dundee defence. Dundee came close to scoring on 30 monutes when Cameron Congreve cut in from the left and his 20 yard shot took a deflection and flicked off the top of the home crossbar. It was the only time in the whole game that Dundee came close to scoring.

Soon after Hearts got the fist goal with a well taken goal, scored by Shankland with a well placed shot. Then seven minutes later it was 2-0 when Kaboré scored,

That was the score at half-time, second half and it was mainly all Herats and it was 3-0 when Kaboré scored again. Dundee lacked the fight and struggled to contain Hearts.

They did well for 20 minutes but failed to create any clear chances, Hearts got a 4th goal to end the scoring. Magnusson forced the ball home after a corner.

Hearts deserved the win they sealed the game with two quick goals. Next up for the Dark Blues is Rangers at home.

Dundee: McCracken, Astley, Clark Robertson, Koumetio, Wright, Digby (Jones 61) Hamilton,   Samuels, Congreve (Reilly 81), Murray (c) (Hay 81), Westley (Yogane 61). Unused Subs: O’Hara (gk), Ingram, Acquah, Fin Robertson, Graham.
