Match Preview
Lockwood set for County clash Dundee boss Gordon Chisholm hopes to have former Colchester and Leyton Orient defender Matt Lockwood in his starting line up for the visit of Ross County. Midfielder Nicky Reilly returns after suspension but the injured Mickael Antoine-Curier remains sidelined with goalkeeper Rab Douglas and defender Rhys Weston both rated as doubts due to knocks. Chisholm is looking for a reaction from his players following two defeats on the road. He said: "I was disappointed with the goal we lost against Partick but we were a lot better than we had been at Stenhousemuir. I have not faced Ross County at Dens Park before but I have a good idea of how they will set themselves up and it is up to us to go out and better that." County will be missing striker Andy Barrowman, who has suffered a broken metatarsal, while Gary Miller remains a doubt following the head knock he picked up against Morton in the ALBA Challenge Cup last midweek. Dingwall Manager Derek Adams is hoping the Dark Blues come out all guns blazing against his side. He said, "Dundee will attack us I am sure of that and we have been preparing for that approach. When they do it will open up the park and allow our creative players the opportunity to get on the ball and look for gaps."

Match Report
Harkins closest in dire draw Dundee's Gary Harkins was denied by the crossbar as his side were held to a dire goalless draw by Ross County at Dens Park. In a match of few chances, Harkins nearly provided a moment of brilliance after 31 minutes but his right-footed effort from 25 yards hit the frame of the goal. Apart from that, the best opportunity was for County and fell to Mark Corcoran four minutes after the effort by Harkins, but he shot over from 12 yards. The second half - much like the first - failed to get going, with Dundee's Charlie Grant drilling wide from 20 yards. County's Paul Lawson did test Dundee goalkeeper Rab Douglas a minute from time, but his effort from outside the penalty area was easily gathered.
