As they look for that from this Dens Park clash, boss Alex Rae must decide whether or not the time is right to bring Cameron back from injury for a first appearance since pre-season. If it is, Antoine-Curier believes the veteran’s drive, determination and most of all ability, will add to Dundee’s potency.

“Having Colin Cameron back in the team would be a big bonus, because he drives forward very well,” said the Frenchman. “Chris Pozniak and Paul McHale have been doing a very good job for us in the middle, but I do not think there is any question Colin adds something going forward when he plays and that can help us get goals.”

Antoine-Curier is well aware that is likely to be good news for him and strike-partner Colin McMenamin — he wants to be known as a team player, but is well aware strikers are judged on goals.

“For me, being part of the team and it doing well is more important, and goals are not the main thing. But I know as well that people look at strikers and see if they are scoring, so it is good to score.

“After our last two defeats, we have been working hard on that and, although in one way it would have been good to have had a game again quickly after losing at Queen of the South, the two-week break has given us the chance to work on a few things.”

While Cameron’s involvement remains a maybe, centre-half Craig McKeown looks certain to make his first start after proving his fitness over the last couple of weeks or so.

The Pars have had their own injury problems, but Stephen Glass, Greg Shields and Scott Thomson have all been back in training this week and should feature.

After a defeat and a draw in the last two First Division outings, boss Jim McIntyre is looking to get back to the form that produced a stunning win at St Johnstone last month.

“I’m looking for us to give another show like that. Tomorrow is another day and we have to do things right again,” he said. “This is one of the best fixtures in the First Division and I’m under no illusions about it. This will be a hard game.”
