CRITICAL STAGE OF THE SEASON...

With Cowdenbeath beating Ross County during the week, there is now much more riding on this weekend's clash with Stirling Albion at Dens Park. Cowdenbeath are now just 4 points behind Dundee going into this weekend's fixtures but face a tricky tie against Raith Rovers at Starks Park. The game against Stirling Albion carries so much importance for Dundee. It is also the first time Jocky Scott has been back to Dens Park since his sacking as Dundee boss in March 2010. With Stirling virtually relegated, they will show no fear against Dundee and I am sure Jocky will have them set out with an attacking attitude. Suspensions sadly kick in for the Dees this weekend, with McKeown, Weston and Irvine all out but I am sure that Barry Smith will work his magic and the players will work their hardest in the approach to this game and hopefully by 16.45 on Sunday we will have the three points that we are craving for and will put us in a good position if Cowdenbeath lose to Raith on Saturday. I am sure the fans will do their bit again as they have been incredible. This is the crux of the season for Dundee and I am sure we will give our all to avoid the dreaded play-offs. In Barry Smith and the team I trust.
