So for our very first weekend the average score was 5 goals. So if your combination picked up more than that, then you have done very well this weekend. The Highest score over the weekend was 6 goals and they came from the Scottish League Cup 2nd round where DUNDEE won 6-1 against Airdrieonians. 

Dundee became our 21st voted Scottish team back in the 1987/88 Season and finished with a total of 62 goals. Their best end of season score came in the 2009/10 Season with 65 goals. Last time out was back in the 2010/11 Season with 59 goals. This is their fourth season with Golden Goals and they have now netted a total of 215 goals. This gives them an average score of 53 goals per season to date. They have just 1 vote this season. Lets get on with the results to see how your teams have performed over the weekend.
