Angry McCann ready to

DUNDEE boss Neil McCann was frustrated with his players for the sitters they missed, including a Scott Allan penalty, and angry with his defenders for not following instructions.

In the end, they went down to goals from Darian MacKinnon, Steven Boyd and a Dougie Imrie penalty as Hamilton Accies produced another convincing scoreline after they battered the Tayside club 4-0 at this venue on the final day of last season.

McCann has vowed to work his players into the ground in training to get an improvement and said: “We created six clear-cut chances and missed a penalty.

“That was frustrating so I can’t be too hard on the players for that.

“I was disappointed with the goals we conceded, particularly the second one.

“We worked hard all week to eradicate the space Steven Boyd found for that goal.

“That one really tipped us over as a coaching staff. We can’t accept that and we will batter the players day in and day in out in until they surrender to us.”

Dundee wasted opportunities and should have been two goals ahead inside the opening five minutes.

Allan was clean through, one on one against Gary Woods,when he inexplicably opted to square the ball to Faissal El Bakhtaoui. Scott McMann intercepted and his challenge resulted in the ball making its way back to Allan but his shot was saved.
