Harmon strikes late at Kilmarnock to secure County’s third straight away win

Kilmarnock 1 – 1 Dundee

Dundee remain in hot pursuit of a top six finish after holding an out of sorts Kilmarnock to a draw in an even contest.

Lyall Cameron put the visitors in front after blasting home a clearance that had a landed at his feet.

Tony Docherty will be disappointed his side could only hold onto the lead for three minutes when teenager Wales finished a clever lay off from Kyle Vassell.

In truth the scoreline reflected the split in dominance with Dundee very much the stronger of the two in the first half.

Robby McCrorie was tested early on at Rugby Park but Dundee struggled to break the deadlock despite their dominance.

Simon Murray had an opportunity to put his side ahead with an open goal in front of him but missed the ball completely.

Derek McInnes’ men grew into the second half, Gary Mackay-Steven kept out by a strong Jon McCracken save and was guilty of skying a golden opportunity not long after.

There will not be any panic just yet for McInnes but his side, currently sat tenth, have now won just one of their last six games.
