Men v Boys

At the neutral venue of Glebe Park, and with a larger than life gap in the away support, Dundee, who were already qualified, made a couple of changes with young defender Luke Graham starting. However hot striker Simon Murray was on from the start with Curtis Main waiting on the bench. Danny Devine had recovered sufficiently to start but Jack Walker was rested after his head knock. Ethan Cairns and Lewis Nicolson are still missing and Niko Ujdur is finally off to Hampden today.

1-0 to Dundee in the first minute. Do we need to get the calculator out? If you answered yes, then that was the correct answer. Five up at the break Dundee cantered home scoring a further goal ten minutes before the end through Portales to round off the scoring.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dundee scored with their first attack; Palmer-Houlden flicked on to Murray who looped the ball over the keeper and into the net and five minutes later Murray shot from outside the box but the keeper tipped it over the bar. Mulligan played in Murray who lifted the ball over the keeper and into the back of the net after 18 minutes. As expected, Dundee totally dominated the opening twenty minutes with Inverness hanging on at times and a third goal came from Seb Palmer-Houlden in the 23rd minute after he stole the ball from the defender and then slipped it past the keeper into the net. Robertson then played Murray in and he put the ball through the keepers legs and into the back of the net. There was more to come in a disastrous first half for the young team as Palmer-Houlden found a brilliant finish into the bottom corner of the net after being played in by Ingram. 

Half Time: 5-0 The chase is on but we'll need pushbacks.

Nightmare first half but it eased a bit in the second before Cameron’s ball into the box found Portales who headed into the back of the net with ten minutes left. 

Goodbye League Cup, thanks for having us!

It's not for everyone...
