Hartley relishing Glasgow visits

DUNDEE manager Paul Hartley believes his side have every rightto be relishing back-to-back games in Glasgow following their late draw againstInverness in the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership atDens Park.

K ane Hemmings’ 86 th-minute equaliser cancelled outRoss Draper’s 13th-minute opener to ensure thatthe Dark Blues will notgo into whatmay turn outto be a significantweek on something of a downer.

Hartley’s hopefuls, who sitsixth in the Premiership table, can now turn their attention to W ednesday night’s league match away to champions Celtic before taking on Rangers at Ibrox in the quarterfinals of the W illiam Hill Scottish Cup on Saturday. And the Dens boss sees no reason why they cannotenter both matches with a reasonable degree of confidence.

Hartley said: “It’s a big week as all we know coming up.

“Butthat’s whatyou wantand that’s what players enjoy, playing in big games.

“It’s always a testin every aspectwhen you go to Glasgow.

“W e’re on a reasonable run of form justnow and know we are aboutto be tested.

“Butthe one thing I definitely have in these players is belief.

“They have earned that with their performances and this late draw shows they never give up.

“That’s a greatthing to have and itshould stand us in good stead.”
