An early chance for United, Fatah doing well to get past his man where he whipped a ball into the box which found Iovu who headed over the bar. After 12 minutes, Dundee had a huge chance as Congreve out wide delivering a great ball but Simon Murray unable to connect and fire a strike goal bound. Dundee had another chance after 26 minutes as Congreve fired a cross along the box which nearly went in but Maynard-Brewer catching. Moments later, Fatah had a chance from close range at a tight angle but well stopped by McCracken. Yogane had a brilliant chance on 37 minutes with a darting run goal bound, cut onto his right and unleashed a powerful strike but blocked by Sevelj to deny an opener. Fatah with a run from the Dundee half towards goal with a massive chance, the ball got caught up at his feet which looked like the chance was off but he regained the ball, worked it into the box with his effort being stopped by the foot of the Dundee number one. Another chance by Fatah just inside the box but fired wide of goal as the travelling support thought they had fired ahead in the derby. A flurry of chances, one initial save which then at the end landed at Sevelj who smashed it towards goal but a fantastic block by Samuels to keep the match goalless. Dundee United fired in front 5 minutes into the second 45 as Fatah struck the ball beyond McKracken following a handball in the process. Dundee United started the second period better with a lot more play and getting into good spaces. Dundee needing to up their game if they are to get back into it. The Tannadice side doubled the lead as Stephenson up high heading the ball of the bar which bounced into the net to send the away end into chaos. On 74 minutes, Will Ferry fizzled a great ball across the box but was too far ahead as no one could get onto it. Russell had a huge chance to make it three but a quality stop by McCracken denied Russell his first goal for United in his second stint. Dundee had the ball in the net as Hay struck the ball calmly which ended up going in off Sevelj but was flagged for offside. A very later corner for the Dees, whipped into the box which ended in a bit of a scramble but Hay managed to get onto it as his tapped it into an empty net as Dundee found one back deep into stoppage time. Dundee did the unthinkable and levelled right at the death with a ball into the box where United defender Ross Graham put the ball into his own net as both sides settle for a point in a dramatic ending at Dens.

Dundee vs Dundee United – Match Preview

Dundee welcome rivals Dundee United to Dens Park, for the 3rd Dundee Derby of the season. The away side have won the previous 2 derbies this season. In the most recent meeting, Dundee beat United 1-0 at Tannadice, with Hay’s goal right at the end of the first period the difference between the sides. In the first meeting of the season, Jim Goodwin’s side won 2-0, with the goals coming from Sapsford and Dolcek. Dundee come into the derby off the back of an impressive 2-1 win against high-flying Motherwell. Steven Pressley’s side are unbeaten in their last 4 games, which included a first win at Pittodrie since 2004 and a 95th minute equaliser against Hibernian after McGrath thought he won it when he found the net on 89 minutes. On the other hand, United come into the Derby off the back of a 2-1 defeat against Falkirk, which saw their Scottish Cup hopes come to an end. The Terrors have only won 1 of their last 5 matches, with that 1 win coming against St Mirren at Tannadice. Dundee have a respectable home league record. The Dens Park outfit have won 6, drawn 3 and lost 5 of their 14 home league games. However, they have beaten Celtic, who they play at home on April 5th, beaten Falkirk and beaten Motherwell at Dens Park. Dundee United have not been great on the road this campaign. The Tangerines have won 3, drawn 6 and lost 5 of their 14 away matches in the league, however, 1 of those wins did come against Dundee. Steven Pressley’s reaction to win against Motherwell: “We set up in a certain way, Motherwell adapted, tested us but time and time again the players found solutions. At times we showed good bravery. It’s small steps from us in the right direction, that’s now seven points from our last nine against Aberdeen, Motherwell and Hibernian which is a good return but the most pleasing thing for me is that we’re making progress and the players are showing a lot of personality and a lot of character. “Motherwell had a lot of pressure, a lot of efforts on goal and made it really difficult for us but time and time again the players came up with the answers and defended for their lives. “I think for that effort alone it’s really pleasing for them to get the rewards with the win.” On Jon McCracken: “Jon McCracken has been terrific for us all season. There’s been a couple of moments of late but he’s responded brilliantly to that. There hasn’t been that many, and also we have to remember it’s his first real run of games at this level. he’s played more games this season than in any other season so he’s learning all the time, growing all the time.” Jim Goodwin’ reaction to defeat against Falkirk: “I don’t want to be making any excuses but we’ve had nine games in five weeks and we could have done without the St Mirren game three days before a Firday night game. Add to that we’ve had key players suspended but it’s a really disappointing outcome but you can’t afford to start like we did. “We wont allow the season to peter out. We have a big job to close the gap on Falkirk but we’ll not give up on that.”

Askou “not fussed” about title talks as Dens Park awaits

Jens Berthel Askou aims to give Motherwell fans “something to be proud” as they look to move within one point of Rangers in third place. Speaking to the media on Thursday afternoon, the manager is excited to watch his team’s progression across the remaining months of the Scottish Premiership season. “I think a very cool for us as a group and a football club that we know that we are going to compete in the top 6 after the split. The main thing for us is that it’s going to push us to our limits as a football club, and keep developing us to the maximum of our potential this season.” “We have to keep developing as human beings, as professionals, as a team, as a football club, because there’s always more until the day when we finish our careers as players or as coaches, so that is what we are looking for.” “It’s about adding details all the way, and then when we add these details, it’s about sharpening the details and being good enough at picking between these details while we keep the structure and the basis and the foundation of our game. The most important thing for us is that we want to excite people around the area, so they have something to be proud of. “ The Motherwell ranks are filled with talent, from top goalscorer Tawanda Maswanhise to midfield marshal Elliot Watt. Askou has been impressed by his squad’s growth. “We know if we want to reach out to the maximum potential for this club, we have to be good both ways, and it’s really difficult to strike that balance, especially early in the phase of development. “I am very impressed with how the players have been able to just grow and develop in both directions at the same time.” Askou appreciates that Saturday’s opponent will be no pushover for his side. “Dundee is a team that has grown and developed through the season, it’s going to be a big test, and a challenge for us to see if we can keep our form and sharpness against a team that, especially at home, has looked really good.” Dundee v Motherwell Dens Park March 7th 3pm

Dundee fans react to goalless draw.

St Mirren 0-0 Dundee: Dundee fans react to goalless draw against St Mirren in Paisley. @Neil Martin: “It’s a point a draw away from home. Probably would’ve taken that at the start of play though it’s a ‘winnable game’, disappointing given the man advantage we couldn’t capitalise on that. Still positives, bounced back from a defeat last week to get a point and kept a clean sheet we’re progressing.” @Logan Cavin: “Heavily missed Ashley Hay today in my opinion, final product just wasn’t there, hardly saw anything from Murray. Only thing I took away from that is Halliday looks great.” @Craig Gordon: Dhanda was off it today unfortunately. Creativity at a minimum across the board. Decent point considering below par all round. Graham looking classier by the week. Home vs Well next under the lights. We can beat them at Dens.” @derry_rhumba: “Fair result. Controlled parts of the game, particularly for spells in the first half, but a complete lack of a final ball of presence upfront killed us today. The substitutes didn’t work either, Reilly looked good but Bevan gave the ball away every single time he got it. Not a terrible result away from home though, and onto Motherwell at Dens.” @Jim Mooney: “Always a tricky place for us but not enough up front. Solid enough at the back against 2 troublesome strikers.” @Bruce Conacher: “Bevan and Reilly should be asked to play as strikers rather than wingers at the moment IMO. Think they would do great.” @Anthony Marshall: “Clean sheet and a point isn’t too bad – need that bit more up front but that will come, no point crying over spilt milk as it isn’t a defeat – perspective required. Will be interesting who comes in before the window shuts. All in all, onwards and upwards. Mon the Dees.”
