The 2022–23 season was Dundee's first season back in the second tier of Scottish football after being relegated from the previous season's Premiership. Dundee also competed in the Scottish League Cup, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish Challenge Cup.

On 5 May 2023, Dundee would win the Scottish Championship at the first time of asking in the last game of the league season and would gain promotion back to the Scottish Premiership.[1]

Season summary[edit]

Pre-season[edit]

Following Dundee's relegation the season prior, the club initiated a number of fundamental changes to the structure of the football department. After previously working mostly with the Youth Academy, Dundee's Technical Director Gordon Strachan would take a more active role with the first team going into the season.[2] On 8 June 2022, Gary Bowyer was named as the new Dundee manager, with Billy Barr named as assistant manager.[3] The club would also look to hire a Head of Recruitment to complete their structure, and would move the day-to-day operations of the club from Dens Park to Dundee and Angus College's Gardyne Campus.[4][5]

July[edit]

Dundee would start their competitive season off with a comfortable 3–0 win over fellow Championship side Hamilton Academical in the League Cup group stages.[6] They would repeat this scoreline the following week down south against Stranraer.[7] This would mark the first time since 2009 in which Dundee had won back-to-back games by a scoreline of 3 or more goals to nil.[8] Dundee continued their positive start away to Championship rivals Queen's Park with a 1–2 win.[9] They would cap off an impressive group stage campaign with a dominant 5–1 win over Forfar Athletic.[10] Despite their strong start to the season, Dundee would struggle badly in the league opener against Partick Thistle, scoring 2 late goals but still losing 2–3.[11]

August[edit]

After a disappointing start to the league campaign, the Dee would recover with an away clean sheet win over Raith Rovers.[12] They would continue their momentum with a gritty and impressive win over Arbroath to go top of the table, on an emotional night which commemorated the recently-passed Dundee legend Pat Liney.[13] Dundee could not keep up the same momentum the following week at Cappielow however, having to settle for a goalless draw against Morton.[14] Any sense of positive momentum would end with a hapless defeat to league leaders Ayr United at Somerset Park.[15] Dundee would bounce back with a comfortable win over Scottish League One side Falkirk to reach the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup for the second consecutive year.[16]

September[edit]

Dundee would notch their second consecutive 3–0 win, dispatching Queen's Park at home with ease with a brace from Zach Robinson.[17] Dundee's game against Cove Rangers was postponed after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.[18] Despite controlling much of the game at home to Inverness CT, Dundee gave away slack goals and once again lost at home in frustrating fashion.[19] The following week, Dundee would play their first competitive fixture outside of Scotland since the 2003–04 season in the UEFA Cup when they journeyed south to face Welsh champions The New Saints in the Scottish Challenge Cup, and would win comfortably in a match that would also mark Paul McGowan's 300th appearance for the Dark Blues.[20]

October[edit]

In a visit to New Douglas Park, Dundee would emerge victorious in a testy affair with Hamilton Academical that should have been more comfortable.[21] Being their usual inconsistent selves however, Dundee thoroughly disappointed in an embarrassing defeat away to part-time Cove Rangers just a few days later.[22] They would again fail to defeat part-time opposition in the following match away to Arbroath, having to settle for a point instead.[23] They would finally get back on track the next week with a home victory over high-flying Ayr United, moving up to 4th in the process.[24] A daunting trip to Ibrox Stadium followed, and despite a battling performance they would be knocked out of the Scottish League Cup by Rangers by a tight 1–0 scoreline.[25] A few days later, ten-man Dundee would have to settle for a scoreless point at home to Greenock Morton in a wet and dreary affair.[26] To cap off a busy month, Dundee scraped a lucky point away to Queen's Park after going behind twice.[27]

November[edit]

The month started off improbably for Dundee they came back from a two-goal deficit against Partick Thistle to win in dramatic fashion at Firhill Stadium.[28] They would continue this positive momentum the following week, with Zach Robinson running the show and scoring both goals in a big home win over in-form Raith Rovers.[29] Dundee would make it 7 league games unbeaten and 3 wins in a row next as they defeated bottom side Hamilton Academical 1–0 at Dens.[30] The Dees were given a scare in the Scottish Cup the following week by Scottish League One side Airdrieonians, but 7 substitutes and an Airdrie red card helped Dundee dominate extra time, scoring four goals to end up with a convincing-looking 6–2 win.[31] After a successful month in which the club won all their games, manager Gary Bowyer was named the Scottish Championship Manager of the Month, and Paul McMullan as the Championship's Player of the Month.[32][33]

December[edit]

The winning and unbeaten streak continued with a landmark victory, as Dundee defeated Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Highlands in a league game for the first time in their history via a goal from in-form Paul McMullan, marking the club's first 4-game win streak in the league since October 2013.[34] Dundee would keep the momentum up the following Thursday with a comfortable win away to Falkirk to reach the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup, making it 6 straight wins in all competitions.[35] Unfortunately however, their next game against Cove Rangers would be postponed after ice and snow caused stadium and pitch damage to Dens Park.[36] Dundee would end the year with yet more cheer, topping the league for Christmas after a double by Luke McCowan against his former club Ayr United clinched a win to pip the Honest Men to top spot despite an early straight red for Josh Mulligan, marking Dundee's seventh consecutive win in all competitions, their first such run since February 1974, as well as their fourth consecutive league clean sheet, and fifth in their last 6 games in all competitions.[37]

January[edit]

Dundee's momentum came to a screeching halt in the new year, and despite coming back from 2 goals and a man down they would suffer defeat against part-time Arbroath, knocking them off top spot.[38] It took a late equaliser from Jordan McGhee to snatch a point at Stark's Park four days later.[39] Dundee would have a home stretch planned, but issues with a now waterlogged Dens Park resulted in three call-offs during the month. After a two-week period without a game, Dundee would match Scottish Premiership club St Mirren evenly in the Scottish Cup before being knocked out on penalties.[40] They would finally play a home game the following Tuesday in the Scottish Challenge Cup quarter-finals, defeating League One leaders Dunfermline Athletic (managed by former Dundee boss James McPake) to progress to the semi-finals in a high-scoring affair.[41][42] Despite being dogged by injuries and disjointed by squad changes, Dundee comfortably beat league leaders Queen's Park to end the month on a high note.[43]

February[edit]

Dundee opened up the month in frustrating fashion, failing to capitalise on chances and having to settle for a point against bottom side (albeit in good form) Hamilton Accies.[44] They then somehow snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the Challenge Cup semi-final against Raith Rovers, going out on penalties after leading by multiple goals late on.[45] The club would return to winning ways in their following match, a comfortable 3–0 victory over Cove Rangers.[46] However, they would once again falter against bogey team Greenock Morton, losing 1–0 at Cappielow.[47] The inconsistent form would continue the following week at home to Inverness CT, where a fluke goal conceded and doing everything but scoring the winning goal (despite having a good goal chopped off due to incompetent refereeing) led to a very disappointing draw and Dundee falling further behind in the title race.[48][49] Their bottle completely crashed in their game in hand at home to Partick Thistle, being handily beaten in a dismal performance.[50]

March[edit]

Dundee started March with a much-needed win away to Cove Rangers to close the gap at the top to two points ahead of a two-week hiatus.[51] Dundee started their final round of fixtures flatly with a drab goalless affair away to Partick Thistle, which left them seven points behind the league leaders.[52] In their game in hand four days later though, Dundee stepped up in a big win over promotion rivals Ayr United to close the gap back to four points whilst opening an equal-sized gap on the 3rd placed Honest Men.[53] At the end of the month, manager Gary Bowyer was named Scottish Championship Manager of the Month.[54]

April[edit]

The Dee started the month off with a bang, battering bottom side and new Challenge Cup champions Hamilton Academical 7–0, including a hat-trick from midfielder Lyall Cameron.[55] This proved to be their largest margin of victory since a League Cup group stage win over Forfar Athletic on 30 July 2016,[56] and the largest margin of victory in a league match since an 0–8 away win over Falkirk on 22 January 1977.[57] In front of a packed Gayfield Park the following week, Dundee could only manage a point in a goalless draw with Arbroath which nevertheless put them top of the league on goal difference with a game in hand.[58] They followed up with a massive win over Raith Rovers at Dens in said game in hand to stretch their lead at the top to three points with 4 games to go.[59] In another tough encounter with their bogey team Greenock Morton, Dundee grabbed a last-gasp equaliser at Dens to snatch a point.[60] They would keep their unbeaten streak going in Inverness, but left frustrated after losing a lead that would have helped their title charge massively after playing well and had to settle with a draw up in the Highlands to maintain their slender lead at the top with two games to go.[61] They would blow an even bigger opportunity to take control of the league by failing to beat bottom side Cove Rangers, leaving the title to a final game showdown at Ochilview Park against Queen's Park where a draw or win would see them crowned as champions.[62]

May[edit]

Prior to the title-deciding game, Dundee winger Paul McMullan was nominated for the PFA Scotland Championship Player of the Year after scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists in the league this season.[63] In an epic and chaotic encounter at Ochilview Park on 5 May, Dundee weathered the storm against Queen's Park and won the league with a frenetic and unforgettable 3–5 victory which secured promotion back to the Scottish Premiership on the first attempt.[64][65] This would mark the first time since February 2017 that Dundee would score 5 away goals in a competitive fixture, and the last of those goals marked Dundee's 100th goal in competitive fixtures during the 2022–23 season.[65][66]

Manager Gary Bowyer was announced as the SPFL Scottish Championship Manager of the Year on 10 May 2023.[67] Later that day, Dundee announced that they would part ways with Bowyer and assistant manager Billy Barr.[68] Bowyer would leave Dundee as the permanent manager with the highest overall win percentage in the club's history.
