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. Dundee were due to compete in their eighth consecutive season in the Scottish First Division, having been relegated from the Scottish Premier League in 2005.[1] On 16 July 2012, Dundee were invited to join to the SPL[2] to fill the vacancy left by Rangers.[3] Their membership was officially confirmed on 3 August, only one day before the season started.[4]

Summary

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]
