[7] After losing captain Charlie Adam in the previous game, Dundee failed to capitalise on a dominant performance at home to Livingston and had to take a goalless draw.

[11] After failing to score for four consecutive games, Dundee finally found the back of the net with Ryan Sweeney's header away to St Johnstone, though it did little to change an otherwise horrendous 3–1 defeat.

[12] Charlie Adam would return in Dundee's next game against a similarly struggling Aberdeen side, and managed to defeat the Dons in the league for the first time since 2004, though would pay the price of losing midfielder Shaun Byrne to injury.

[14] In a key game at home against relegation rivals Ross County however, Dundee's building momentum crashed to a halt after going 4 goals behind in the first half, eventually losing 0–5.

[20] They would take the lead over Ross County despite losing Charlie Adam again to injury via a Luke McCowan double, but could not hold it together and would suffer defeat in Dingwall.

[26] In a crucial game shortly after between the two bottom sides in terrible form, a rather unsurprisingly poor 0–0 failed to separate Dundee from last-placed St Johnstone in Perth.

[29] Despite the previous failures to defeat relegation rivals, the Dark Blues pulled out a gutsy come-from-behind win over Europe-chasing Hearts to lift them off the bottom spot.

[30] Dundee continued their improving form by taking their chances against League One side Peterhead in the Scottish Cup 5th round to win 0–3 at Balmoor.

[35] The side would get their first point under McGhee with a goalless draw at home to Hibs, but failed to take advantage of a Rocky Bushiri red card and a chance to move from the bottom of the table.

[37] After two postponed attempts, the Dees finally welcomed St Mirren for their game in hand, but were sucker-punched with a last-minute Buddies goal to slip into near unsalvageable trouble.

[39] In a league rematch with Rangers the following week, Dundee would improve their performance and lead the majority of the game, but eventually falter and lose 1–2, confirming them as being 4 points adrift at the bottom going into April.

[43] In another close-fought match at Pittodrie, an Aberdeen penalty was the difference and Dundee stumbled to their eleventh straight winless game, all of which occurring under Mark McGhee.
