Neil McCann’s anger continued after watching Dundee lose 2-0 to Motherwell and crash out of the Scottish Cup.

The Dundee boss has been in a foul mood since agreeing to transfer Jack Hendry to Celtic with his side’s form crashing since then.

Last week Ross County crashed in four goals at Dens Park to cut the gap at the bottom of the table with Motherwell ending any hopes of a cup run for McCann’s side.

Speaking to the Daily Record after the match the Dundee boss said: “When you look at the chances we missed, I’m not just going to hang out the defence and the goalkeeper.

I probably counted six or seven, I would say 100 per cent chances – free headers, balls bouncing in the box, no composure, not making Carson work, which is criminal.

“And the goals we have lost are shocking – gifts to Motherwell. Because outside those goals, yeah, they had some decent areas on the counter-attack but I wouldn’t say they looked overly dangerous to us.

“But when you miss those types of chances and cough up goals like that, how can you come in here and say you were unlucky? We weren’t, it’s just wasteful in front of goal and it’s weak in defence.”

Dundee are currently five points ahead of bottom of the table Ross County but face away matches at Kilmarnock and Partick Thistle over the next seven days.

McCann replaced Paul Hartley towards the end of last season as Dundee were drawn into the relegation battle but look certain to be involved in a similat fight this season.
