Fans ‘short-changed’: McCann
The keeper was desperately disappointed he could not celebrate his big day with a clean sheet, with the defeat sparking his manager’s reaction after the final whistle.
The keeper said: “It is just football. You win games, you lose games... the manager is happy or upset.
“Everywhere you play it’s the same whether from Sunday League up to Champions League.
“It is just something in football and rightly so because it wasn’t the greatest performance overall.
“At the end of the day, I just did my job but conceded a goal.
“I am very annoyed not to have been able to keep a clean sheet because that’s what goalies live off.
“We hate conceding goals and I will probably have a nightmare about that one.
“But we move on and try to focus on next season now and go as high as we can.”
After securing their safety in Dingwall last Tuesday, all the pressure was off Dundee before the Partick game – but McCann was not willing to accept any excuses.
He said: “I am not agitated. I am angry. It is unacceptable.
“I am just not putting up with that. We are trying to set standards at the club.
“You don’t get handed results in this league, never mind a side who are fighting for their lives. That is shortchanging the fans.”
Jags boss Alan Archibald, whose side visit Livingston in the first leg of the play-off final on Thursday, said: “I am looking forward to the next game.
“I thought it was important to get the win to take a bit of momentum into the next game.”
Meanwhile, former Dundee boss and current Rangers scout John Brown was at Dens on Saturday and it is understood he was keeping tabs on Dark Blues midfielder Glen Kamara.
