Dundee managed an impressive 2-2 draw with David Moyes' Premier League side West Ham.
The Hammers visited Dens Park this afternoon with a decent first-team including the likes of top stars Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen.
It was a significant run-out for James McPake's Dees who themselves started with a fairly strong XI including Charlie Adam, Danny Mullen and Shaun Byrne.

The hosts took the lead thanks to midfield veteran Adam, 35, who headed beyond Nathan Trott in the visitors' goal after just 20 minutes.
It took until the second-half for McPake's men to double their advantage thanks to a slick McMullen finish.
But quickly the Hammers showed their own quality when sub Jamal Baptiste slotted into the top corner. And then it was 2-2 when attacker Bowen converted a penalty he won himself following a pull down from Lee Ashcroft.
It will have pleased McPake to get minutes in his players' legs while also showing they can mix it with the big boys.
