DUNDEE manager Neil McCann wants his team to focus on consistency of method as they bid to follow up their opening Ladbrokes Premiership victory.
McCann’s side moved off the bottom with a 3-2 victory over St Johnstone last weekend, their first three points of the season, and he does not believe the subsequent 4-0 Betfred Cup loss to Celtic signified a backward step.
McCann would love a second consecutive league win against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park but he knows his players have to firstly make sure they are playing the way he is instructing them to play.
The former Scotland international said: “The momentum is something that will build gradually and naturally anyway, but what I’m focusing on is going down to win a game of football like we do every week.
“I just think [the victory over St Johnstone] reinforces the trust in the work we do and belief in what we are trying to achieve is the right way to go about it.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
