© SNS Group Dundee boss James McPake has warned his players not to expect Queen of the South to take their foot off the gas for the Championship’s final game. The Doonhamers are safe from relegation but also can’t reach the play-off places while the Dark Blues need three points to pip Raith Rovers to second place.

First-half goals from Jason Cummings and Liam Fontaine were enough to set up a final day battle for the Championship’s runner-up spot. Raith would get a goal back with two minutes to go through Kyle Benedictus but it was too little, too late for the Kirkcaldy outfit. There would still be time for a late red card, however, as Dylan Tait’...

Cutting out daft errors has been key to Dundee revival says striker Danny Mullen as they plan for victory at Dunfermline © SNS Group Cutting out “daft errors” has been the key to Dundee finding the form that has rejuvenated their promotion push says striker Danny Mullen. Though they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by struggling Greenock Morton on Saturday, the Dark Blues have now picked up 10 points from the last 12. Earlier in the campaign, inconsistency dogged Dundee as they struggled to put together a meaningful run of form. Mullen, though, now hopes they’ve figured that out at a cr...
