Match Report
Source unknown.
Dundee's promotion hopes were rocked by a brilliant display from a lively Hamilton side.
From the start Accies looked determined to win and after only four minutes they took the lead when Brown weaved past two defenders to crash the ball into the net.
Dundee came more into the game and in 20 minutes Ray Stephen rose high to head in a Williamson cross.
Hamilton regained the lead in 36 minutes from a 30 yard Howie drive. Accies increased this when McDowall scored from a Howie corner in 69 minutes.
Dundee looked like staging a revival in the closing minutes when Geddes scored.
But any hopes they had of snatching a point were killed off in the last minute when Deeney headed home a Fairlie cross.
