Match Preview

Rovers trio in fitness battle Trialists Stewart Greacen and Tom Brighton will not be in the Dundee squad that will host Raith Rovers. Defender Greacen has gone to play football in Ireland and Brighton has dropped out after playing the three games he was allowed to participate in. Everyone else at Dens Park is available to manager Barry Smith, who is not thinking about what might have been. "I am not concerned that this would have been a promotion clash if we had not lost the 25 points, all I am concerned about is that we pick up the three points and keep moving up the table," said Smith. "There is a long way to go and we need to win as many of the 16 games left as possible to avoid relegation." First Division leaders Raith already have striker Gary Wales ruled out through injury and a trio of other players facing a fitness battle. Mark Campbell, Willie Dyer and Allan Walker are all struggling to make it. Manager John McGlynn said: "Mark is giving us the greatest concern as he has damaged a nerve in his thigh. The other two guys may still make it, if there has been no reaction after doing some light training on Thursday." McGlynn has told his men that they need to be at their best. He added: "If it was not for their 25-point penalty Dundee would be sitting on the same points total as ourselves. As far as I am concerned this is a top of the table clash."

Match Report

Dundee dent Raith dreams Veteran Neil McCann scored five minutes into injury time to help Dundee come from a goal down to beat Scottish Division One leaders Raith 2-1 at Dens Park. Substitute McCann, who came out of retirement to join Dee earlier in the week, met Craig Forsyth's corner from 12 yards to head home a fairy tale winner. Raith had took the lead six minutes after half-time, Grant Murray heading in from Allan Walker's corner. Rovers looked comfortable and Murray should have had a second after 69 minutes but he mishit the ball and fired over. Dundee got their equaliser six minutes from time when Gary Harkins' 25-yarder found the top corner before McCann's winner eased Dee's relegation worries and dented Raith's promotion hopes.
