The 2012–13 season was Dundee's first season back in the Scottish Premier League. Dundee also competed in the League Cup and the Scottish Cup.

Summary

Season

Dundee finished twelfth in the Scottish Premier League,[5] and were relegated to the Scottish First Division.[6] They reached the second round of the League Cup[7] and the Quarter-final of the Scottish Cup.[8]

Management

Dundee began the season under the management of Barry Smith. On 20 February 2013, Smith left the club[9] following a twelve-game winless streak[10] and with the side sitting bottom of the Scottish Premier League.[11] Smith's assistant Ray Farningham took over training.[12] On 23 February, John Brown was appointed as interim manager until the end of the season,[13] with the appointment being made permanent on a two-year deal in April.[14]
