Manager's Programme Notes
Today's league game with Rangers begins a very hectic week for us, and we could not ask for harder games than those we have to face in this week.
As I said today Rangers, Monday the continuation of our Cup-tie with United, Wednesday away to Hearts and finishing next Saturday with another derby game with United.
Obviously we are concerned at having to play as many games in such a short space of time while we are still challenging with Dundee United for both league and cup positions. Especially as there are other midweek dates available to play our outstanding league game with Hearts.
However, when we approached Hearts with an alternative date they refused point blank and the league backed their decision. They obviously see an advantage playing us 48 hours after a derby Cup-tie.
Dundee United have also been punished because of this as they had arranged an alternative date with St. Mirren (twice in fact) but the league have ruled they must play on Wednesday evening also. At a crucial stage of the season it seems crazy.
Back to today's game, we have yet to take any points from Rangers this season although we have given them a good challenge we have yet to get a break when we needed it.
Both teams will be all out to atone for their results last week.
We had a disastrous performance at Dunfermline and I can only apologise to the fans who travelled to East End for the lack of urgency showed. I am sure there will be a big improvement this week.
