Dundee travel to take on Kilmarnock at Rugby Park this Saturday with a view of making it three wins in a row following victories over Motherwell and Hamilton, kick off 3pm.
Paul Hartley’s men prepared for the trip to Ayrshire with a training session on Forfar’s Station Park which has a similar astroturf pitch to the one installed at Killie’s ground.
Willie Dyer and Kevin Thomson have both training for the full week and took part in the under 20s 3-2 win over Aberdeen at Dens last Monday. Kyle Letheren, Peter MacDonald, Simon Ferry and Luka Tankulic remain on the sidelines while Craig Wighton is also a doubt after picking up a knock in that 20s match.
Killie currently sit 4th in the Premiership table, four points ahead of Dundee in 7th, and only three points off the top.
