Dundee Getting On With Football
Dundee players can do little about the financial position of the club but have to concentrate on winning games Dundee are starting their new football life with a what is a depleted squad with a game against Dunfermline. They welcomed on-loan Jamie Adams back to the club in time to face the Pars after a deal was agreed with St Johnstone. He has been added to interim manager Barry Smith's squad for his first home game in charge against the league leaders. Striker Leigh Griffiths has also been included after shaking off a knock. Smith said: "I have a detailed dossier on Dunfermline and have seen them play so I have a good idea about what to expect. It should be a great game and it would be great if we got the backing of a bigger than normal amount of supporters. The club needs the fans to back them just now.'' Dunfermline welcome back defenders Neil McGregor and Austin McCann for the trip to Tayside. However, Jack Ross and Alex Burke remain out with knocks and Nicky Phinn is rated as a doubt. Dunfermline kept their place at the top of the First Division last week with a late winner against Ross County and they are looking to build on that. Assistant manager Gerry McCabe said: "Being top means that every game you play becomes that bit tougher so we need to be ready from the off against Dundee. They still have a very good squad but it is up to us to go out and win the game but we know it will be difficult especially in the circumstances.''
