Dundee boss Paul Hartley has lavished praise on his players after their “excellent” performance against Celtic at Dens last night.
The Dark Blues went toe to toe with the table-topping Hoops with the game ending 0-0, the same scoreline as the last time the sides had met at Parkhead.
With another potentially-priceless point in the bag, Dundee’s top six destiny will now be decided when they travel to face Hamilton on Saturday.
Hartley said: “I thought it was an excellent team performance and I felt we coped with Celtic.
“We limited them to a few chances and we had opportunities of our own.
“I thought our organisation was different class and our workrate and team spirit was tremendous.
“Overall, it was a great point for us and it is all to play for on Saturday.
“The players’ appetite and attitude was tremendous we were great as a team.
“We produced a terrific display also at Parkhead but I felt tonight we coped with Celtic. I don’t think Scott (keeper Bain) had much to deal with.
“Young Cammy Kerr limited Kieran Tierney, he did a really good job on him.
“So overall, I am really pleased with that.”
Strikers Kane Hemmings and Rory Loy both had to come off with Hartley adding: “Kane has a dead leg. He was a doubt before the game but he wanted to play. Rory has taken a knock but we will rest up now until Saturday.
“It is a massive game for us in terms of our aspirations to get into the top six.”
