Dundee 3, Livingston 0, Dens Park, William Hill Premiership. 09-May-26

Dundee's only change was  Kieran O’Hara replacing Jon McCracken due to his injury last week. 

Livingston started well enough and pushed Dundee back a bit, their first chance came when Westley shot wide of the goal. Livi were dangerous on the break, and O'Hara pulled off a good diving save to deny Tait.

But soon after Dundee took the lead when Congreve started a move the ball fell to the other side and Yogane put in a hogh cross which was headed down by Murray the ball fell nicely to Cameron Congreve and he scored with ease from 6 yards out.

It seemed to settle Dundee and they played some neat football for the rest of the half. Livingston still kept at it and everyone in dark blue had to dig deep to keep the score at 1-0.

Second half and again Livi attacked with a few efforts went just wide of the target. One Cammy Kerr just missed the taeget. Dundee made changes and this changed the game. Billy Koumetio, Imari Samuels and Finlay Robertson came on for Tony Yogane, Brad Halliday and Simon Murray.

It paid off 5 minutes later after good wing play from Congreave and his second ball in found Finlay Robertson who had a easy tap in to make it 2-0. 

Livi still pushed forward and were given a penalty after a foul from Hamilton. Up stepped Muirhead but Kieran O'Hara to save with his legs to deny Livi a goal.

After 79 minutes Ash Hay and Scott Wright came on for Joe Westley and Cameron Congreve. Hay was almost on the scoresheet immediately when he was sent clear by Samuels but Prior raced out to block at the expense of a corner.

Very soon after and Dundee scored to finished the game as a contest, after a few crosses were blocked Finlay Robertson crossed for Ash Hay to head home to make it 3-0.

Dundee finished the game with ease the pressure was off and DFC fans went home happy with Dundee confirming their place in the Premiership next season.
