The five Dundee January signings who made their debut at Hamilton are assessed by Courier Sport.
Scott Wright
The on-loan Aberdeen played wide left and didn’t see much of the ball in the first half. On a rare counter attack he got the ball stuck under his feet. He did start the move which ended up with a great chance for Martin Woods, though. Then, on 66 minutes, he showed his class with a fantastic opening goal. Wright could be the game-changer at the top of the pitch that Dundee have been crying out for.
Ryan McGowan
The former Dundee United man came to the rescue early in the game to make a crucial block after his central defensive partner Gensy Kusunga messed up. He made a few timely clearances and interceptions after that and, all in all, looked the part.
Ethan Robson
The Sunderland youngster has an eye for a pass but didn’t get involved as much as he would have hoped. Came with a reputation of being a free-kick specialist but ballooned one over the bar from a very good central position just before half-time. The game passed him by a bit and he was replaced by Paul McGowan on the hour.
Andreas Hadenius
The Swede has the physique of a centre-back but was deployed as Dundee’s holding midfielder. The pace of the game probably came as a shock but he showed enough to suggest he will be an asset.
James Horsfield
Made a shaky start when he was dispossessed and Steven Boyd came close to scoring. Should be pleased with his performance after that, though. Was solid at right-back for the rest of the game.
