Last Meeting
The 2013/14 SPFL Championship title swung Dundee’s way in the penultimate weekend of the season as the Dark Blues won 3-0 at Alloa while pre-match leaders Hamilton crashed 4-1 at Dumbarton to allow The Dee to claim top spot.
The large travelling support’s nerves were settled just before the break when cult hero Christian Nade headed The Dee into the lead but they had to wait until the 71st minute to see that doubled when Peter MacDonald slotted home a penalty.
Substitute Craig Beattie wrapped things up with lovely finish two minutes from time and by then the Dundee support were in party mood as the news of the scoreline from The BetButler Stadium was filtering through.
Dundee would go on and clinch the title the following week by defeating Accies conquerors Dumbarton 2-1 at Dens.

Alloa Athletic’s Season So Far
Alloa started their season with a 3-3 draw at home with Elgin City in the Betfred Cup but lost the bonus point in the shoot out and followed that up with a visit to Premiership Hibernian where they lost 2-0. However wins over Stirling and Arbroath in their next two games saw Alloa finish second in their group but failed to qualify as one of the best runners-up.
In the Ladbrokes Championship The Wasps opened their league campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to Partick but crashed 4-1 in their next game away to Morton. Arbroath got revenge for their League Cup defeat with a 1-0 at The Indodrill Stadium but they reversed that scoreline to win 1-0 at Queen of the South the following week to get off the mark.
Alloa won on their travels again last weekend when they defeated Dunfermline 2-1 in the Tunnocks Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup.
