Billy Mckay played his 250th major competitive game for the Club. |
League Cup Over & Out: With Dundee winning only 1-0, that was no use to either club and they both leave the League Cup at the end of the group stages. Zach Robinson's 60th minute header was not enough to put Dundee ahead of Raith Rovers to claim a slot in the draw as one of the three best of the rest. For Inverness, we meddled with our starting XI and Harry Lodovica made an appearance in the second half. Danny Devine, Sean Welsh, Roddy MacGregor, Charlie Gilmour and Adam Brooks were nowhere to be seen, hopefully being prepared for the start of the Championship next week.
Inverness gave as good as they got in this encounter but went down to a second half goal from Zach Robinson.
Billy Mckay had a shot tipped over by Jon McCracken in the Dundee goal and Nathan Shaw shot wide after good work by Keith Bray. Austin Samuels shot over after a cut-back from Billy Mckay five minutes before the break as the visitors saw the better of the first half.
After the break Mckay shot wide when he got the break of the ball through on goal. Mark Ridgers was called into action as he made a good save to keep out sub Amadou Bakayoko's powerful effort after an initial mix-up in the Inverness defence. Robinson's goal on the hour meant Dundee needed one more for pole position to qualify. It never came despite them upping their game with Bakayoko and McGhee going close for the hosts. McCracken saved a low effort from Samuels with ten minutes left. A frantic ending saw both sides flash the ball goalwards but the score remained at 1-0 to Dundee at full time.
