Arbroath manager Dick Campbell's side fell to seventh in the Championship

Declan McDaid struck twice as Dundee ensured Arbroath's first league game against their neighbours in over 40 years ended in defeat.

McDaid scored his first goal for the club when he fired in off the post from 25 yards out.

He then doubled the lead with a rising shot from near the edge of the box.

Ben Stirling hit a post for Arbroath, who were playing Dundee for only the second time in any competition since 1980.

Last season's League One champions continued to search for a foothold back into the game, but Dundee held firm for a victory that sees them close the gap on leaders Dundee United to six points.
