Key moments
Dundee’s first chance of the match came on 13 minutes from a well-worked corner. Grayson played a one-two with McGowan before playing the ball to McMullan on the edge of the box.
The winger dinked in a lovely ball to the back post where it was met by McGhee who got a powerful head on it, but his effort was straight at Ryan Fulton.
McGhee was involved again moments later but his cross was headed well over by Cameron in the six-yard box.
The Dark Blues started to turn the screw and opened the scoring on 29 minutes.
It was Cameron who was involved once again and slotted the ball into the far corner after being played in by Joe Grayson.
The goal sparked the hosts into life, creating a few chances around the Dundee box but offered nothing to cause Legzdins real concern.
Dundee started the second half brightly with McMullan whipping in a dangerous ball but Cameron couldn’t get his header goalwards. McGhee then saw his effort from distance go over the bar in the same passage of play.
The Dee began to take control of the game and could have doubled their lead on 57 minutes.
French burst from defence to intercept an Accies ball and found Cameron in space on the left.
He played the ball inside to Mulligan but couldn’t get a shot off in the crowded box.
The Scotland Under-21 international had another glorious chance just a minute later.
McMullan found him on the overlap but Mulligan’s fierce shot but Dan O’Reilly was came flying in to block the effort on the edge of the box.
For all of Dundee’s chances, Hamilton should have been level on 67 minutes but for Legzdins.
Ryan One played a sublime ball through the middle of the Dark Blues defence landing right at the feet of the on-rushing Jean Pierre Tiehi but his effort was saved well by the Dee stopper.
Gary Bowyer was left to rue another opportunity almost immediately with Cameron hitting the side netting from a tight angle from Robinson’s cross.
The home side continued to knock on the door and gave Dundee a scare on 79 minutes when Andy Winter’s long-range drive crashed off the bar.
The visitors survived another late scare but skipper McGhee was in the right place at the right time to deny Tiehi who had the goal at his mercy in the six-yard box.
With seconds left on the clock and the home side looking to threaten one last time, Dundee broke up the field with Rudden and McMullan linking up in the middle of the park.
The winger spotted substitute McCowan on the left who who drove towards goal and dinked his effort over Fulton, sealing all three points.
Dundee’s star man – Jordan McGhee
The Dee skipper put in a stand-out performance as he slotted in at left back.
McGhee was involved in the majority of Dundee’s chances posing a real threat going forward but also proved to be a rock at the back.

Manager under the microscope
Gary Bowyer made four changes to the side that saw off The New Saints last week.
Tyler French, Joe Grayson, Josh Mulligan and Zach Robinson regained their places.
The Dee started in a 4-5-1, with a back four of Cammy Kerr on the right, French and Lee Ashcroft playing centrally with Jordan McGhee at left back.
The Dee boss made one half-time swap with Ben Williamson replacing Joe Grayson.
On 73 minutes, he opted for a double substitution to freshen up his side as Zak Rudden and Max Anderson replacing Zak Robinson and Josh Mulligan.
Man in the middle
Matthew MacDermid received a torrent of abuse from the home fans after giving the Dark Blues a couple of decisions in the first half.
Realistically, there was nothing really in them despite the Accies’ appeals.
Overall, a fairly quiet game with no big calls to be made.
Hamilton booking: Zanatta.
Dundee bookings: N/A.
