That’s something he couldn’t say about derby days in Dundee – some of his best memories of his time at Dens Park.
“I had the two best years of my career at Dundee.
“The derby win after 10 or 11 years and beating them at home was great.
“The first game at Celtic Park was also a good memory. It is a really famous stadium, even in Germany.
“All the derby wins were really good experiences and I feel really proud to have been a part of those games.
“I like the rivalry in Dundee. It’s not a nasty rivalry compared with some places in Germany, there’s no fighting, but a lot of banter and people have a bit of a laugh about it.
“I still keep an eye on Dundee. Unfortunately there are not many players left from when I was there.
“Maybe Gowser, Cammy and Craig Wighton. I still speak to Scott Bain and Nick Ross, too.”
It was a mixed experience for Konrad working under manager Paul Hartley at Dens Park, however.
“Paul Hartley was hard but fair, I would say.
“He had his players, his top players who he would speak to all the time.
“He wasn’t always easy, sometimes he would shout at me and Luka Tankulic for no reason but it was football, you live with that. He played me 69 times in two years so I can’t complain.”
