Dundee relegated from Scottish Premiership as Mark McGhee's side drop to Championship

Dundee relegated from Scottish Premiership as Mark McGhee's side drop to Championship

DUNDEE have been relegated from the Scottish Premiership after St Johnstone defeated Aberdeen at McDiarmid Park.

Callum Hendry’s first-half strike gave Saints a vital 1-0 win over the Dons in Perth and meant Dundee were relegated from the top division.

Hendry drilled in a Glenn Middleton cutback for his eighth goal since returning from a loan spell with Kilmarnock in January to ensure the Saints will now face Arbroath or Inverness in the Premiership play-off.

The win moves them an unassailable six points clear of Mark McGhee’s Dundee with only one game remaining, while Aberdeen stay 10th following a disappointing run of just two wins in 11 games since Jim Goodwin took over in February.
