Frustrating night for Dundee goalie Scott Bain in Prague

Dundee goalkeeper Scott Bain had a frustrating night in Prague, staying on the bench as the Scots beat the Czech Republic 1-0.

The hope was he would get on in the second half but his cause wasn’t helped by an excellent display from starter Allan McGregor, with the Hull City goalie making some fine saves.

Bain will now have to wait to make his debut for his country.

He had hoped to become the first Dundee player to represent the Scots since Gavin Rae and Lee Wilkie in 2003, and the first Dens goalie to play for the country since Thomson Allan in 1974.

Meanwhile, Bain has had the appeal against his derby red card rejected by the SFA.

He will now be suspended for the Dens side’s Premiership home match against Ross County on April 2.

The Dark Blues felt their number one did not deny Dundee United striker Billy Mckay an obvious goalscoring opportunity when he fouled him to concede a penalty in the 2-2 draw at Tannadice on Sunday.

However, the SFA’s disciplinary panel met at Hampden today to discuss the case and felt referee Steven McLean got the decision right.
