Dens show leaves Jack red-faced
followed up last week’s shock loss to Hamilton with another flat performance at Dundee on Friday night.
Mark O’Hara’s double gave the home side a 2-1 win and Gers midfielder Jack confessed his side have no excuses.
He said: “It was embarrassing to be honest. There’s no way we can hide from it.
“It’s so frustrating as players, as a group. It’s just not good enough.
“We’re letting everyone down. We’ve also let the fans down.
“What a support we had through and they are right to show their anger and frustration at us.
“As players we are feeling it but it’s not good enough.
“The goals we conceded aren’t good enough. The overall play, I don’t think we’re doing enough to win the game.
“We were too open. There were too many gaps for Dundee, especially in the middle.
“As players we just have to face that the last two games haven’t been good enough. We need to take what’s coming our way.”
Rangers missed out on the chance to overtake Aberdeen with their slip-up at Dens and now face a crucial doubleheader with the Dons this week.
But Jack is determined to bounce back against his old side and said: “We need to work hard over the next few days and make sure we’re ready for Wednesday.”
Dundee midfielder Cammy Kerr hopes the Dark Blues’ surprise win is the turning point that saves Neil McCann’s men from relegation danger.
The Dens Park men had won just two Premiership games before Friday’s visit of Rangers.
But their victory has restocked the topflight basement side’s sagging reserves of confidence and now Kerr hopes it can inspire them to a better run of form.
The Dundee vice-captain said: “We’ve been waiting for a result like that for a while.
“Our performances have been there for all to see this season but we’ve just not got the results.
“So to finally get a gritty, determined performance and the result was great.
“Hopefully this can be a springboard to start climbing the league.
“We want to look back at the end of the season and realise this was a big win.
“It really is a great result and everyone in the dressing room was buzzing. We just hope this can be our turning point.”
O’Hara has now netted four goals in his last three Dens clashes with Rangers and Kerr admits his team-mate relishes facing the Glasgow giants.
The defender added: “I said to Marko he must wish he could play Rangers every week. Every time he faces them here he seems to score.
“He was brilliant – as was everyone else – but I’m delighted for him, especially to have got the two goals because he’s a great guy.”
