Central defender Tom Hutchinson is likely to miss out the Rangers game due to injury. No doubt that this is a severe blow to Dundee as the close season signing from Fulham has been instrumental in a string of fine results.
In the event of his not being fit in time Barry Smith will slot into the vacant position alongside Lee Wilkie with possibly Zura Khizanishivilli moving into midfield.
The injury to Stevie Milne is not so threatening as Dundee are strong in the striker department with Caballero, Novo, Lovell, (who is expected to make it) and Sara available to fight for the positions up front.
Jim DUffy doesn't see Rangers as unbeatable though he does stress his players would need a little luck and everyone would have to play to the best of their abilities if a result is to be gained.
The Editor's forecast is a score draw.
