“Cameron Congreve gave Dundee the lead with a composed finish, capitalising on Livingston's defensive vulnerability to break the deadlock early and set the tone for the home side.”
Pivotal“Substitute Finlay Robertson, on the pitch for just two minutes following a raft of second-half changes, struck to make it 2-0 — a sucker punch that ended Livingston's hopes of getting back into the contest.”
Pivotal“Robbie Muirhead was involved in a notable incident for Livingston, a moment that summed up a frustrating afternoon for the visitors as their attempts to spark a comeback continued to come to nothing.”
“Ashley Hay wrapped up the victory three minutes after his own introduction, finishing clinically to make it 3-0 and rubber-stamp a dominant second-half display from Dundee.”

Outstanding performance
Dundee•MidfielderDundee were ruthlessly efficient in the second half, turning a slender one-goal advantage into a comfortable 3-0 victory that never truly flattered them. Cameron Congreve broke the deadlock on 13 minutes, and while Livingston enjoyed the lion's share of possession — finishing with 57% — they rarely threatened to convert that dominance into goals, missing three big chances and managing just one save required from their opponents. The match pivoted decisively in the 71st minute when substitute Finlay Robertson, on the pitch for barely two minutes, rifled home to double Dundee's lead, draining any remaining belief from a Livingston side already struggling for cutting edge. Ashley Hay then completed a brutal ten-minute spell for the visitors with a third goal in the 83rd minute, a result that deepens Livingston's relegation anxieties and lifts Dundee clear of any immediate danger in the lower reaches of the Premiership table.

Livingston arrive at Dens Park already condemned to the Championship after their relegation was confirmed, while Dundee look to secure mid-table safety and end a patchy run of form. With nothing but pride on the line for the visitors, this Tayside clash carries a bittersweet end-of-season intensity that could go either way.
