The Dundee derby returned to the city for the second time in the space of just two weeks last night – following an absence of more than a year.
The Dark Blues came out victorious in the clash at Dens Park, which ended 2-1 and earned the side a place in the quarter-finals of the Betfred Cup.
It comes after Dundee United won the last clash between the rivals on penalties just a week and a half before.
While the match had fans from both sides on the edge of their seats, it also earned praise from punters across the country.
Pundits and footy lovers across the board took to social media to applaud the quality of football on show, with many praising it as a great advert for the Scottish game.
What a game! Superb Dundee derby ?? https://t.co/kWbZ8CuqKN
