The Dundee derby returned to the city for the second time in the space of just two weeks last night – following an absence of more than a year.
The Dark Blues came out victorious in the clash at Dens Park, which ended 2-1 and earned the side a place in the quarter-finals of the Betfred Cup.
It comes after Dundee United won the last clash between the rivals on penalties just a week and a half before.
While the match had fans from both sides on the edge of their seats, it also earned praise from punters across the country.
