The 39-year-old’s goal breaks the long-standing record held by Gordon Smith, who was 38 years and 358 days old when he scored his last goal for the Dens Park club in a 2-0 win over Falkirk at the end of the 1962-63 season.

Veteran forward Miller has been waiting to break the record for months, but hasn’t scored since netting in a 3-1 defeat to Kilmarnock in December. His 11th-minute finish against Livingston has finally written his name into the record books, replacing legendary winger Smith.
