Dundee recorded a terrific 1-0 win at Palmerston over 10-man Queen of the South.
The visitors took the lead just before half-time in dramatic style.
When a Gavin Rae pass headed Martin Boyle’s way the Dens striker was fouled by Queens’ keeper Jim Atkinson as he played the ball around him.
Referee Barry Cook had no choice but to red-card Atkinson for preventing a goalscoring opportunity and off he went.
Dundee’s Ryan Conroy was as cool as you like as he slotted home the spotkick to make it 1-0.
With just over a quarter-of-an-hour to go, the Dark Blues came close to making it two when sub Christian Nade crashed a vicious shot off the post from 25 yards.
It turned out they didn’t need a second goal as they coped with the Doonhamers’ pressure.Review how the game panned out in our new Match Centre. And read full reaction and analysis in Monday’s Courier.
