Tyrone Smith - BBC Sport Scotland Senior ReporterTue, December 2, 2025 at 2:05 PM UTC·1 min readDundee head coach Steven Pressley has been speaking to the media before Wednesday night's Scottish Premiership trip to play Celtic.
Here are the key points:
Pressley says Dundee need "a near-perfect performance plus an element of luck" to win at Celtic Park.
He notes 2001 was the last time Dundee won there: "Martin O'Neill was the manager and Shaun Maloney was on the bench so you just never know."
Having beaten Celtic already this season, Pressley says "it is not beyond us" to do it again and achieve two wins over the Parkhead club in the same season for the first time since 1988.
Pressley says Dundee's weekend win over St Mirren was important for belief and confidence.
He adds that while he has been seeing improvements, it is a tough sell when not winning games, so the victory was good to show people "yes we have made progress in this period".
Pressley says the weekend victory was the first time in a year Dundee have come from behind to win.
On whether Dundee have turned a corner: "There is still a lot of work ahead of us... we need a number of [transfer] windows, we need time to improve players, time to improve the team."
Team news: Everyone is fit and Pressley has "players knocking on my door wanting to play".
