What happened
The Tayside derby between Dundee and St Johnstone delivered late drama as St Johnstone salvaged a draw away from home.

Neither side managed to fully take control of the match, with the closing stages producing the decisive moment that defined the final scoreline.
Chance analysis
Tayside derbies rarely follow the script, and this one reinforced that pattern — St Johnstone digging in at Dens Park to claim a point when the match looked beyond them. For Dundee, conceding late at home against a city rival will sting and underlines defensive fragility in the closing stages. For St Johnstone, the comeback character offers a small building block, even if overall form remains a concern.
The draw slightly damages Dundee's home form narrative and gives St Johnstone a small morale boost heading into their next fixture.
