Two-goal Mcmullan to the fore as Dundee brush Brora aside
Paul Mcmullan struck a double and set up another two as Dundee beat Brora Rangers 4-0 at Dens Park last night in Group B of the Premier Sports Cup.
Mcmullan pulled the ball back for Paul Mcgowan to finish in the 24th minute and converted from two Charlie Adam crosses either side of the break.
The former Dundee United winger then set up Alex
Jakubiak to score from close range five minutes into the second half.
The hosts played the last 20 minutes with 10 men after Jordan Marshall went off injured, but Jason Cummings came close to a fifth when his shot hit the underside of the bar.
Elsewhere in the group, Forfar and Montrose drew 0-0 at Station Park, with the home side claiming a bonus point.
Dumbarton suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Stenhousemuir days after cancelling their clash with St Mirren because of Covid-19 issues.
Ross Maclean gave the Sons the lead but James Lyon and Robert Thomson earned the away win.
Morton were also back in action, behind closed doors, after a Covid outbreak cancelled their trip to Stranraer, but they were held to a goalless home draw by East Kilbride. Morton won 5-4 on penalties to seal a bonus point. Stranraer fell to a David Goodwillie goal against Clyde.
Ayr and Falkirk both recorded victories in Group E.
Tomi Adeoye netted twice and Andy Murdoch struck as Ayr beat Edinburgh City 3-0, while Callumn Morrison hit a double as Falkirk came from behind to beat Albion Rovers 5-1. Paul Dixon, Charlie Telfer and Ben Weekes were also on target in a satisfying first game in charge for Paul Sheerin.
Raith Rovers moved to six points in Group D after thrashing Brechin 4-0. Brad Spencer hit a double either side of strikes from Lewis Vaughan and Dario Zanatta.
Liam Buchanan got the only goal as Cowdenbeath won 1-0 at Alloa in the same section.
Queen of the South bounced back from defeat by Queen's Park as they secured a 3-1 derby win at Annan. Ally Roy netted twice and Ruari Paton was also on target with Kyle Fleming replying for the hosts.
