Dundee head into the midweek round of Scottish Premiership matches in relatively high spirits, having climbed through a tight mid-
table pack up to fifth spot with a victory at the weekend, after making somewhat of a slow but steady start to the campaign.
Following their promotion from the second tier last time around, the Dee sat on eight points from eight outings with just one win on the board, albeit having still only suffered two defeats with only Celtic and St Mirren losing fewer games.
With their latest defeat coming away at runaway leaders Celtic in mid-September, Tony Docherty’s side then headed into the weekend’s trip to Livingston on the back of three
consecutive draws, having shared the points with Kilmarnock in a 2-2 draw and played out goalless stalemates with Hibernian and Ross County.
That meeting with Livingston then remained goalless for 80 minutes at the Tony Macaroni Arena, with the hosts reduced to 10 men 20 minutes from time, and Dundee would

eventually go ahead through Joe Shaughnessy before he quickly added a second to seal their second three-point haul of the campaign and their first since late August.
Such a result saw Docherty’s men quickly climb up to fifth spot in the Scottish top flight, but only leading Motherwell and Hearts on goal
difference, Hibernian and Livingston by a single point and 10th-placed Aberdeen and 11th-placed Ross County by two, Dundee will
hope to extend their unbeaten run to five league games with a major upset on Wednesday to avoid dropping back towards the relegation places.
