No rest ahead of Hibs match
They see their first game action tomorrow when they face Hibs in a closed-door game, but there was no let up in work rate for Dundee’s players today (writes Tom Duthie).
The first-team squad were put through another gruelling double session today, one at Dundee University this morning and the second back at their Caird Park base this afternoon.

“We do have the game tomorrow and then MK Dons on Saturday, but at this stage fitness is still the priority and that means we’ll be working hard all week,” said boss Gordon Chisholm.

“That doesn’t mean I’m not looking for the boys to show up well in the games, but we have to keep putting the work in.”

After heading for the university campus last week for a series of tests, including the dreaded bleep test, today saw the players given individual exercise programmes to follow.

“Now they’ve been assessed, they are being told exactly what type of weights and other things they should be doing and, as well as the work we do as a squad, they’ll follow those programmes themselves,” explained Gordon.
