NEIL McCann insists his Dundee players are enjoying digging deep in their bid to haul themselves off the foot of the Ladbrokes Premiership.
McCann’s side survived the late dismissal of skipper Darren O’Dea for a second bookable offence against Kilmarnock to halt a five-game losing run with a goalless draw at Dens Park.
Dundee remain bottom of the table but McCann is satisfied his players are giving everything as they try to turn their season around. The manager said: “I can’t ask for any more effort from the players. They are willing workers. I know they are giving me everything and during the double sessions in training you can see how determined they really are.
“This is an important point and gives us something to build on. It’s been a tough run of late but we’re all in this together and hopefully we can progress from here.”
Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke said: “That’s six games away from home where we haven’t lost.”
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!
