Dundee are on the road again this weekend as we travel to Dingwall to take on Ross County in the cinch Premiership. We last faced Ross County at the end of October in a 0-0 draw at the Scot Foam Stadium, however since then County have changed their manager and are now led by Derek Adams. Adams has overseen four matches so far in his third spell at the club, and in these four matches County have won two, drawn one and lost one. They currently occupy eighth place in the league, one point behind Dundee in seventh place.

Team News
Antonio Portales who went off injured against Rangers last week has been ruled out for about 12 weeks with a hamstring injury. Marcel Lewis and Diego Pineda will also miss the trip to Dingwall. Owen Beck is an injury doubt after missing last weeks trip to Ibrox, but will be assessed before the game.
Tony Docherty
“That was a good game when we last played them in October. It was 0-0 but it was highly competitive and I expect the same again from Ross County. They haven’t changed much in terms of personnel but certainly the new manager has come in and given them a bounce, there is no doubt about that. Before last Saturday’s game, they have taken seven points out of nine at home, so we know it’s going to be a difficult game. Derek has gone in there and done well, he’s got the squad very competitive. We know we will need to be at our best to get a result up there, but we will endeavour to get our game plan over them and exploit their weaknesses and stop the strengths that they have got.”
Aaron Donnelly
“I think it will be very much like the last time. They are a big physical side that likes to get the ball up quickly. They’ve got a new manager in since the last game between us and have had a lift from that. It’s another game and we are preparing well for it. Everyone has been on it in training this week, it’s been very lively as usual and everyone wants to bounce back from last weekend and hopefully, we’ll get a result on Saturday.”
