Rangers roll into town on Sunday and will bring with them all the hullabaloo of a club that parted company with manager Mark Warburton in such controversial fashion.
However, Dundee have themselves to worry about and should try their best to ignore whatever happens at Ibrox this week.
Every point is a prisoner for the Paul Hartley’s men right now as they just can’t shake themselves clear of the danger zone at the bottom of the Premiership table.
Even after moving up three spots to seventh on Saturday thanks to their draw against Kilmarnock, you sensed that they hadn’t really made up ground on the others.
So the Dark Blues’ build-up to Sunday has to be all about them and what they can do to improve on the performance against Kilmarnock
The fixture shouldn’t be dominated by what’s going on at Rangers because there is too much at stake for a Dundee side that has yet to win this year.
It must be about getting things right on the training park and being ready to exploit any weakness in their post-Warburton opponents.
