Dundee edged an astonishing eight-goal title decider against Queen’s Park to clinch promotion straight back to the Scottish Premiership.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Second-half strikes from Lyall Cameron and Luke McCowan got Gary Bowyer’s men over the line, but only after a scarcely-believable match in which both sides traded blows in a breathless encounter.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

McCowan’s wonderful individual effort clinched the title at the first attempt for Dundee, while Queen’s will have to go through the play-offs to secure a third straight promotion.<\/span><\/p>\n

But up until Dundee’s fifth goal, these sides delivered an epic conclusion to a Championship season which went to the final day with nine of the 10 teams not knowing what division they would be playing in next season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Queen’s Park, having at one point looked like going up, finish third and will face Partick Thistle at Firhill on Tuesday in the first leg of the play-off quarter-final.<\/span><\/p>\n

The drama started when Alex Jakubiak gave Dundee a third-minute lead, but centre-back Charlie Fox levelled with one of the goals of the season, before Connor Shields smashed Queen’s ahead two minutes later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lee Ashcroft clobbered in an equaliser for Dundee, before a strange 17-minute spell without a goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the drama restarted in earnest when Dundee’s Zach Robinson scrappily forced the ball in, only for Fox to plant a header past Adam Legzdins to make it 3-3 in first-half stoppage time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Queen’s Park – seeking the victory needed to end a 65-year top-flight absence – went close to edging in front again after the break, but Dundee goalkeeper Adam Legzdins pushed away Shields’ powerful effort.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then Cameron, the homegrown hero, latched on to Jakubiak’s flick to finish neatly past Calum Ferrie to put Dundee in the driving seat once more.<\/span><\/p>\n

At that point there was still 35 minutes left, but as both sides started to feel the effects of a frantic match, Dundee retreated slightly, knowing they only needed a draw to get back to the top flight.<\/span><\/p>\n

But in the end they had the more clinical tough anyway, as McCowan bobbed and weaved his way into the box before curling a wonderful effort into the corner to spark jubilant scenes among the Dundee fans behind the goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

More to follow.<\/strong><\/p>\n
