Шаблон:Infobox football club season
The 2023–24 season is Dundee's first season back in the top flight of Scottish football since 2021–22, after winning the previous season's Scottish Championship at the first time of asking.[1] Dundee also competed in the League Cup, exiting at the group stage, and will compete in the Scottish Cup.
Season summary
Pre-season
Despite having led Dundee to the Scottish Championship title and winning the SPFL Championship Manager of the Year award, manager Gary Bowyer and his assistant Billy Barr were released by the club in May 2023 following a fallout with managing director John Nelms and technical director Gordon Strachan.[2][3] On 29 May, Dundee announced that Tony Docherty would be the new manager of the club.[4] Dundee's pre-season schedule would include a week-long camp in Ireland and playing Bray Wanderers and Fleetwood Town while there, as well as two visits to local Angus teams in Brechin City and Arbroath, followed by an away game against Cove Rangers.[5][6][7]
July
After winning all of their pre-season games, Dundee began their competitive campaign in the Scottish League Cup group stage with a gritty away win over Bonnyrigg Rose, with Zak Rudden scoring the only goal.[8] They would receive a sharp wake-up call a few days later however, losing to Scottish Championship side Airdrieonians via a late penalty after Lyall Cameron missed a penalty for Dundee earlier in the game.[9] The Dees got back to winning ways on the following Wednesday, defeating Dumbarton comfortably at home.[10] Going into their final game, Dundee knew they needed to defeat Inverness Caledonian Thistle by 2 or more goals in order to qualify over Raith Rovers for the second round. Despite managing a 1–0 win over their historical bogey team, Dundee would exit the League Cup in the group stage for the first time since the 2016–17 season via goals scored.[11]
August
On their flag-raising day returning to the top tier, Dundee would come back from behind through a Lyall Cameron goal to draw with Motherwell at a rain-drenched Dens Park.[12] A dreadful first half in Paisley however was too much to recover from the next week, and saw Dundee lose to St Mirren.[13] After a two-week hiatus, Dundee grabbed their first win of the league season at home to Hearts through a Luke McCowan chip over Zander Clark from distance.[14]
September
Despite a strong performance for most of the game, a late collapse away to St Johnstone left Dundee with a very disappointing point.[15] After the international break, a brave effort from the Dee at Celtic Park was undone by an early second half blitz from Celtic and led to a 3–0 defeat.[16] In a drama-filled game which Dundee were down a man for most of the game, Zak Rudden's late goal clinched a point at home to Kilmarnock.[17] The following week saw a very impressive defensive performance at Easter Road as they kept free-scoring Hibernian to a goalless draw.[18]
October
After three and a half weeks without a game due to international breaks and postponements caused by a waterlogged pitch and Storm Babet, Dundee played Ross County to a scoreless draw at home in a game that was plagued by rustiness from both sides.[19] After an uneventful first half and controversial second half, two late Joe Shaughnessy goals pushed Dundee past Livingston at Almondvale Stadium and into the top six.[20]
November
Dundee's unbeaten streak at home would fall apart after a mauling by Rangers in a game marred by controversial behaviour from the away supporters.[21] They would quickly rebound with a second win over Livingston in a week thanks to a beautiful free kick from Luke McCowan.[22] Dundee would then batter high-flying St Mirren in a commanding performance to rise up to 5th in the league before the international break.[23] They would return from the hiatus with a frustrating loss at home to Hibs where they failed to complete the comeback.[24]
December
For the second time in the season, an impressive Dundee away performance was undone by a last-second equaliser, this time from ten-man Motherwell.[25] An early lead at Ibrox turned into an expected defeat to Rangers, marking the third straight game Dundee failed to capitalise on having a man advantage.[26] Dundee would finally enjoy a late goal once again as captain Joe Shaughnessy snatched all 3 points away to Ross County in a game which losing manager Derek Adams controversially claimed was "one of the worst games I've ever seen."[27][28] For the second time in the season, Dundee had a game against Aberdeen postponed, this time due to a waterlogged pitch, a decision which the club fully disagreed with.[29][30]
