Five Dundee FC examined: Reasons to be optimistic about the Dark Blues 

Dundee have five matches to secure European football at Dens Park for the first time in over 20 years.

The trip to Perugia in 2003 remains the last time the Dark Blues jetted off to the Continent for a competitive match.

Overhaul St Mirren’s two-point lead in the Premiership table and that long, long wait will be over for Dees.

Passports will be needed for 2024/25 should Tony Docherty’s side finish fifth.

Can they do it? Courier Sport assesses the five fixtures to come.

The first gets the toughest match out of the way quickly – Celtic are the only side Dundee haven’t taken any points off in the Premiership this season.

Beyond that, if the Dark Blues were to choose two teams to face at home they would be the sides directly above them.

Hey presto – St Mirren and Kilmarnock will be at Dens Park.

Three of Dundee’s last four league wins were at home which bodes well on that front while their biggest victory of the season came against the Buddies at Dens.
