    Raith have to use that offside call as motivation. They have a second half to get back into this and a second leg on Saturday

    Dundee have really tried to go and take the game to Raith. Raith are vulnerable down the sides and Dundee have been able to exploit that in the first half

    Tumilty didn't complain too much at the time, but the substitutes were sure it was onside. They'll look at that at half-time and know a perfectly good goal has been ruled out

  5. HALF-TIME - Raith Rovers 0-1 Dundeepublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 12 May 2021

    Jordan McGhee's tidy finish from a glorious Charlie Adam assist is the difference between the sides at the break, but the hosts should be level.

    Reghan Tumilty's disallowed effort just before the break was a perfectly good goal and that'll be a sore one to take for Raith, but they have to get that out their head if they're to get back in this one.

    Easier said than done, though...

    Oh dear. Oh very dear.

    The hosts should be level. It's much better from John McGlynn's men as Ross Matthew's cross is hooked goalwards by Lewis Vaughan. Reghan Tumilty finishes off the move, but the linesman's flag is up.

    The replay shows he's at least a yard onside. How big a call might that be?

    John McGlynn is demanding more from his side on the touchline.

    The away side look too comfortable, but Liam Fontaine had to be on his toes there to clear a dangerous cross from Daniel Armstrong. The resulting corner comes to nothing.

    Charlie Adam's big-game experience is certainly being highlighted tonight.

    The former Scotland international has been superb so far for James McPake's men.

    Charlie Adam again causes problems as he pings yet another superb pass into the box.

    Jason Cummings gets his head on it, but his connection is all wrong as the ball ends up going into the path of Liam Fontaine who is flagged offisde.

    Raith are having their fair share of the ball but, in all honesty, they're not doing too much with it.

    James McPake's defence look organised and his side seem content to hit the hosts on the break.

    For all Raith's tidy play, they don't create enough in the final third

    Jordan McGhee

    Charlie Adam, what a ball that is.

    The former Liverpool man has been afforded too much space at times as he pings a 40-yard pass perfectly into the path of McGhee, who ghosts into the area unmarked and finishes superbly.

    Charlie Adam's deep free-kick finds Jordan McGhee in the Raith box, but his downward header takes a nick and falls comfortably into the arms of Jamie MacDonald.

    Cracking ball in from the Dundee captain.

    Results between the sides this season suggest this should be an even one and that is proving to be the case as the away side enjoy a spell of possession.

    The game has calmed down a bit after a frantic start.

    Much better from the home side in past few minutes as John McGlynn's side start to get a foothold in the game and begin dominate the ball.

    Some fine defending from the visiting defence as Daniel Armstrong looks certain to smash home from close range after a Jamie Gullan cut back.

    But Cammy Kerr slides in to make a vital block.

    Iain Davidson has made a sketchy start here for the home side.

    The centre-back fails to clear his lines and the ball falls to Jason Cummings who drills a strike wide of the far post.

    Big chance for the away side early on and it's the hosts causing their own problems.

    Paul McMullan nips in front of Kyle Benedictus to intercept an Iain Davidson pass on the edge of the box, but the Dundee winger lashes a shot wide of the near post. He should be doing much better.
