Dundee’s Declan McDaid has scored once this season, away to Alloa in November. He said: “I am buzzing to be back in and helping the boys.

The frontman came off the bench for the last half-hour at Cappielow, set up a goal for Jason Cummings, hit the post and then scored an 80 th-minute equaliser to earn a point for his side. However, he wasn’t able to jolt the Dark Blues out of their winless run as the 2-2 draw in Greenock made it four Championship matches without victory. Going into the re-arranged clash with Caley Thistle this week, Dundee won’t have won a league match in ...
