Manager's Programme Notes
This club received a great boost on Saturday when we beat Rangers and qualified for the Scottish Cup semi-finals and naturally I'm as pleased as anyone at the way we achieved that result.
But now we all must look to the absolutely vital business of collecting points to improve our Premier League position.
Getting to the Scottish Cup semi-finals is obviously a good thing to happen to any club and I'm hoping Saturday will act as a spur here at Dens.
I've said more than once that one outstanding result can give this club a real lift and I'm hoping that's the way it works out after Saturday.
I have no doubts whatsoever that over the two games we deserved to go through, and I was pleased with the attitude and application showed by the players in both matches.
One lesson I've learned in this game is that if you work hard and put enough effort into the task in hand you will begin to create your own luck.
Being in the last four of the Cup has the great effect of prolonging the season for the right kind of reasons and when you consider our suspension and injury situation on Saturday and indeed the way the scoring went - our 3-2 win was really quite an achievement.
The two midfield players asked to perform at full back certainly carried out the job the right way. I've said all along that players must learn to con tribute in other positions and Saturday was a classic example of what I'm looking for in this direction. This can give us more strings to our bow even if only in emergencies - and that can be no bad thing.
It'll be a good thing for the players to have a team like Celtic at Dens for tonight... as both sides have every thing to play for and this should add up to a right good game.
Celtic have succeeded in getting back on the rails of late and with Davie Provan back in harness they are now in the very good position going for League and Scottish Cup glory as well as maintaining their challenge for the Premier title.
It's the sort of game that players should be looking forward to and the fans should certainly be in for a good night's football.
