Ross County vs Dundee: Scottish League Cup updates & report

Ross County's Brian Graham celebrates after scoring to make it 1-1

Dundee's chances of League Cup progression took a dent after a loss in the bonus-point penalty shootout defeat at Ross County.

Finlay Robertson's first-half opener was cancelled out by Brian Graham's second-half strike before a tense round of spot-kicks.

Neither side are guaranteed progression with a win in their final group-stage game, and may need other results to fall favourably.

Dundee face Clyde, while Ross County are up against Airdrieonians.
