Dundee blow chance to close gap on Queen's Park as Kris Doolan enhances Partick Thistle credentials

Second-placed Dundee spurned the opportunity to close the gap on cinch Championship leaders Queen’s Park after going down 3-1 to Partick Thistle at Dens Park.

Partick Thistle striker Brian Graham scored twice as the Jags downed Dundee 3-1 at Dens Park.

A double from Brian Graham and goal from Scott Tiffoney gave the Jags all three points on Tayside, with Jordan McGhee netting for the hosts. It means the inactive Spiders remain four points clear at the top of the league with ten matches left to play, while Partick Thistle – who have won two of their three matches under caretaker manager Kris Doolan – stay in fifth but are now outside the play-off positions only on goal difference, with just seven points separating the top five in the division.

Elsewhere in the SPFL on Tuesday night, League Two leaders Dumbarton won 1-0 at home against Stenhousemuir, with Finlay Gray’s 38th minute strike proving to be the winner. At New Dundas Park, Kieran McGachie scored a late equaliser for basement outfit Bonnyrigg Rose to draw 1-1 with Forfar, who had led thanks to Ben Armour’s penalty.
