Manager's Programme Notes
"Shock result of the season" "Celtic surprisingly beaten"
... so said the voice of the Press
It certainly annoys me to think that nobody has the right to defeat the Celtic's of this world. All right, for 15 minutes or so, we looked ragged and disorganised but let's not forget we had a side beset by suspension and injury.
When we settled and got our act together, well, the result speaks for itself. The strike count was 14-12 in favour of Celtic. Not surprising when you consider the "forward going" players we had in our side.
Yes, I believe "attack is the best defence". Special praise maybe to Tom Coyne for "his best" under me. In his new "unaccustomed" role he adapted magnificently. But enough of this self praise!
Yes, it's Hamilton tonight, and I know the players are gearing themselves up for this one. This could be a harder match than Celtic! I do believe Hibs have to thank Goram for their victory on Saturday. Hamilton, I know, are a better side than their position indicates, (as we found to our cost in September!)
Fans of the month. Maybe that title goes to the people who have travelled now twice to Glasgow for away matches but special thanks to the "distant supporters", like Alan Douglas who travels the many miles and road to Dundee - thanks for your support.
But to all fans who have responded to Dundee F.C. this season-can I just say, on behalf of the players, John B and myself "lang mae ye'r lum reek".
