I’m Wright chuffed with record-breakers

Saints boss Tommy Wright hailed his record- breaking troops’ derby display.

They made it a club best six straight away wins in the top f light with victory at Dens and Wright said: “We were excellent. That was as good a performance as I’ve had from any of my teams.

“We got a bit of luck with the first goal but after that we dominated totally. The players were relentless, for 90 minutes they were at it. The quality of the play, the energy and the desire to make things happen.

“At 1- 0 you are always concerned about not getting the second but once we did the game was over. The only thing I can be negative about is that we probably should have had more goals but that’s six away wins now without losing a goal.

“It’s unbelievable stuff. Matty Kennedy was outstanding.

“People are lining up to kick him now but he’s a strong boy. He can play left, right or up front so he’s been a great addition.

“You could say Matty was the jewel in the crown on a day with a lot of top performances. It’s just a great way to send our supporters happy into the New Year and keeps a great run of form going – so all credit to the lads.”

Wright had some sympathy for opposite number Jim McIntyre.

He added: “Jim has a big job on his hands but he is the best man Dundee could have to get them out of trouble.”
