How have the Dee coped against bottom-six rivals?

-

the season for Neil and his team as they were ripped apart in a very poor display.

Trouble flared at the final whistle, too, with the Dundee boss and St Johnstone sub keeper Zander Clark charged with misconduct.

That might just add a bit of spice to the final meeting of the season.

Hamilton

Another side who have enjoyed themselves at Dens Park, deservedly winning 3-1 there back in October.

That followed a 3-0 victory at New Douglas Park before Dundee got a bit of revenge with a late, late show at the same venue in January.

A first strike for Matty Henvey was followed by a 98th-minute winner from A-Jay Leitch-Smith in a good day for the Dark Blues.

Ross County

The Staggies are Dundee’s biggest worry with them picking up form in the last couple of weeks and cutting the gap between them to four points.

With only one trip to Dingwall completed, the Dee’s mettle may well be tested in the Highlands.

Partick Thistle

Alan Archibald’s men are bottom of the pile before we get started and not enjoying life at the moment.

A nice early game against the Jags would suit Dundee and something similar to the 3-0 victory in December thanks to a Sofien Moussa double would give their survival bid a boost.

However it goes, the Dark Blues certainly need to add to their paltry two Premiershi­p wins in 2018 to keep themselves out of trouble.
