Dundee 0 - 1 Aberdeen

A simple goal decided the wee derby on treacherous Dens Park, and a penalty save by Watson took the Dons out of difficulties at a vital stage. These were almost the only semblance of thrills.
Both attacks missed chances, particularly in the first half, and the troublesome ground did not fully excuse the lack of controlled shooting.
The winning goal came at the end of a drab hour.
McMillan scored, but the greater credit went to Ian Rodger, who sent in one of the few powerful shots in the game.
Brown got his fingers to it, but could do little more than deflect the ball to the waiting McMillan, who netted easily from close range.
Ten minutes later, Andrews was fouled in the penalty area. Beaton tried to place his kick from the spot, but Watson dived and cleared at the post, and the Dons held their lead easily to the end.
Sure footed, strong-tackling O'Neil was the stalwart of the day. Bruce, too, was strong in defence and Rodger and McMillan were the liveliest forwards.
The Dundee wing halves were not so effective as their rivals, and for once the crack scoring Copeland failed to register.
