Dundee fringe players to get chance in final two games

Head coach Steven Pressley has told Dundee's fringe players they will get their chance in the final two Scottish Premiership games of the season.

The Dark Blues secured their top-flight status on Saturday with a 3-0 win over relegated Livingston at Dens Park.

It means the pressure is off Dundee as they visit Kilmarnock on Tuesday night then host Aberdeen in the final game of the season on Sunday.

"Well, it gives me an opportunity," Pressley said. "We've got a lot of good players within the group and some will feel that they've not had the opportunities in the last couple of months that they would have liked.

"Securing our status allows us to give several players the opportunity to play and I intend to do that.

"You have to keep moving forward and it's not easy. So the players have done it.

"They've responded to all the setbacks this season and, as a result of that, I think there's been great growth in them, not just as football players but as human beings."
