What has been evident is a real organisati­on to their game defensivel­y.

At Celtic Park, two banks of four and sometimes every man behind the ball made for a very difficult day for the champions.

Added to that defensive strength, though, was the threat of Jordan Jones.

The winger has this week become an internatio­nal player, coming on as a sub for Northern Ireland in their play-off second leg in Switzerlan­d.

That ended in disappoint­ment but not without the Killie man impressing against Juventus defender Stephan Liechtstei­ner.

Veteran Kris Boyd and youngster Adam Frizzell were also on target in their last match — a 2-1 win away to Hearts — after sharing the goals in a 2-0 victory at Partick.

Chris Burke netted the late equaliser at Rangers, so the attacking threats come from everywhere for Dundee.

On the other side, Dens striker Marcus Haber, fresh from scoring his first of the season at Hibs last weekend, netted a winner against Killie last campaign.

Faissal El Bakhtaoui also likes playing the Ayrshire side having scored twice against them.

The form book may be against the Dark Blues but they have players in their midst who have a track record of hurting Saturday’s opponents.

On recent meetings it’ll be a tight affair — Dundee just have to ensure they are on the right side of it come the final whistle.
