In torrential rain, the game deteriorated into a tough kicking match with numerous injuries (weakly handled by the ref) and lasted 97 mins. McAdam headed in a Houston corner (50) and again from a Park cross (87). In between, Rough fumbled a corner (62) and a header from a corner (75) put Dundee ahead. Fair result.

Drew Herbertson's new book tells their long overdue story, providing biographies of all the Scots who have handled international matches. From the early pioneers when international football first started in 1872 through to the current FIFA list, “Scotland's International Football Referees” commemorates their careers and is a tribute to their achievements.
