Dundee vs Morton preview - Dark Blues' player hunt continues



I have a say

Posted Saturday, August 27, 2011 by PA

Dundee manager Barry Smith has a fully-fit squad to choose from for his side's home game with Morton.

Smith has no new injury or suspension worries, but his search to bring in new players is unlikely to bear fruit before kick-off.

Smith said: "I had hoped to have at least one new face in for this game, but if it happens it will be next week now."

The Dark Blues are looking to build on their good performance against Aberdeen in their midweek League Cup defeat in a bid to secure their first win of the season at Dens Park.

Smith added: "It's always disappointing to lose a game, but it's a case of more of the same in terms of the way we played.

"Morton have made a good start in the league, so we need to play well to win."

Morton's summer signing Andy Graham has been included in the squad for the first time since arriving from Hamilton Academicals.

Defender Graham has been given the all clear to play again after fracturing a cheekbone during pre-season.

Manager Allan Moore said: "We received great plaudits for our performance in losing 4-3 to St Mirren in midweek, but we were beaten and that disappoints me and I want to get winning again as soon as possible.

"Dundee will feel exactly the same after losing to Aberdeen, but we will travel to Dens Park with the confidence that we're playing well and there's no reason why we cannot win there."

The Greenock men will again be without Fouad Bachirou and Sean Fitzharris, who are both struggling with hamstring injuries.
