Match Preview
Striker return boosts Dundee
Dundee welcome back striker Mickael Antoine-Curier from compassionate leave for the visit of Queen of the South.
On-loan former Doonhamer Jamie Adams is absent because of suspension and defensive summer signing Dominic Shimmin remains out through injury.
Boss Gordon Chisholm is looking forward to seeing pacy frontman Antoine-Curier in action, saying: "Mickael returned to training on Thursday and it is good to have him available to the squad.
"We are still a couple of bodies light and I am working on that every day just now."
The Dens Park boss added: "This will be a hard game against a team that I know and respect well and who will be out to win here."
Queen of the South boss Kenny Brannigan is looking to bolster his squad as he travels north without four players.
Winger Willie McLaren is suspended and injuries have ruled out defender Derek Lilley and front men Allan Johnstone and Sean O'Connor.
Goalkeeper David Hutton is available after injury with Brannigan saying: "I am looking to get a new signing on board as we are down to only nine fit outfield players."

Match Report
Dundee survive Queens battle Nine-man Dundee hung on for a 1-0 win over Queen of the South in a bad-tempered contest at Dens Park. Gary Harkins scored the decisive goal with a well-taken 23rd minute free-kick but the Dark Blues were largely responsible for their own struggles towards the finishing line thereafter. Just after the hour Netan Sansara brought down Queens striker David Weatherston in the penalty area but Rab Douglas saved Derek Holmes' spot-kick. Sansara earned a booking for his challenge and received his marching orders in the 71st minute when he collected a second caution. Three minutes later he was joined for an early bath by team-mate Nicholas Riley who was given his second yellow for a foul on Stephen McKenna. Queens piled forward in the last 15 minutes but a lack of creative spark from the visitors and some last-ditch defending ensured Dundee hung on.
