Christian Nade’s first goal for the club set Paul Hartley’s men on their way for their 3rd win in 4 since the new boss took over.
The big striker was excellent in the first period of the match and headed home Martin Boyle’s cross to give Dundee the lead.
Dundee couldn’t find a second to seal the match until five minutes to go when Boyle’s shot was saved and Peter MacDonald turned home his first goal of 2014.
