A young Dundee side lost out to Motherwell in the SPFL Reserve League at Station Park on Tuesday.

Akeal Rehman ran onto a through ball before firing low under Sam Jackson and minutes later he turned provider as Stuart McKinstry turned home.
Rehman added a third for the visitors before the break after a mix up in the Dundee defence saw a clearance come off the Motherwell man and end up in the net.
