Dundee should look out their best tea cups and welcome Kilmarnock to Dens Park with open arms on Saturday.
The Dark Blues must love playing Killie by now, given the fantastic record they have against the Ayrshire side in recent seasons.
The demolition of Gary Locke’s team at Rugby Park on the opening day of this season raised eyebrows right across Scottish football, with those lucky enough to have witnessed Dundee’s 4-0 win on August 1 raving about just how well the visitors played.
Star man Greg Stewart kicked things off with a 20-yard strike after 34 minutes before Rory Loy grabbed a second just before half-time.
Loy made it 3-0 with a header two minutes into the second period before Stewart struck again late on to cap an outstanding display from the visitors.
Mind you, what went before that rout wasn’t bad either.
Indeed, going back to the summer of 2012 the Dark Blues’ record against Killie reads: won four, drawn three and lost only one.
The sole defeat – a 3-2 loss at home on May 11, 2013 – was something of a dead-rubber, with the Dens men already relegated by then and Killie with little to play for.
The full sequence is: Killie 0, Dundee 0 (August 4, 2012); Dundee 0, Killie 0 (January 27, 2013); Killie 1, Dundee 2 (April 6, 2013); Dundee 2, Killie 3 (May 11, 2013); Dundee 1, Killie 1 (August 9, 2014); Killie 1, Dundee 3 (November 1, 2014); Dundee 1, Killie 0 (January 21, 2015); Killie 0, Dundee 4 (August 1, 2015).
