    After ruthlessly sacking promotion-winning Gary Bowyer, Dundee appointed Tony Docherty as their new manager in May - a first top job for the long-term assistant to Derek McInnes.

    Luke McCowan's stunning strike sealed Dundee's first win since returning to the top-flight at the end of August. A beauty.

    It took until November for the Dee to suffer their first home defeat of the campaign as Rangers romped to a 5-0 victory in a game that was delayed for travel issues and pyrotechnics in the away end.

    But Dundee proved they could hand out thrashings of their own. A brace from summer signing Amadou Bakayoko, as well Zak Rudden's penalty and a Zach Robinson finish, downed high-flying St Mirren at Dens Park.

    Owen Beck wrestles with Kilmarnock's Danny ArmstrongSNS

    The final game of the year proved to be the final Dundee appearance for the brilliant Owen Beck, with supporters left dismayed as the 21-year-old was recalled to Liverpool on New Year's Day.

    Now, this is by no means a disaster.

    It's all about points on the board at the end of the day, and Dundee are having a brilliant first season back in the top-flight, just three points outside the top six with two games in hand over Hibs above them.

    However, any side is going to fare better if they're pressuring teams in their penalty area, something Tony Docherty's side aren't doing enough of at the moment.

    Only the league's bottom three sides - Livingston, Ross County and St Johnstone - have registered fewer touches in the opposition box than Dundee this campaign.

    Should the manager come across the right formula to find his attacking arsenal in dangerous positions more frequently in the second half of the season, a special first season back in the big time could well be on the cards.
