Dundee boss Neil McCann did not pull his punches after last night’s defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle labelling his players’ performance a “joke”.
The Jambos Esmael Goncalves and Christophe Berra scored goals in either half to secure all three points for the Edinburgh outfit.
However, McCann was absolutely fizzing with his side’s display in defeat with Hearts ultimately comfortable winners.
The Dark Blues manager accused his players of short-changing the fans who made the journey to the capital and insisted he would not accept anything similar in the future.
McCann said “I thought we were better in the second half for a wee spell.
“But I am not going to say that cheered me up any. That was a shocking performance tonight. I didn’t see it coming and it won’t be accepted.
“It is something we work on at this club, where everything is geared to winning.
“Everything we do in training has a purpose, everything we do has an end point where it is about standards but tonight’s performance was a joke.
“Anything in the second half would have been an improvement on the first.
“I am not accepting that. When you set standards you should stick to them and if you fall below them, something like that can creep in so I am not accepting that.
“I think you can take it from my tone that I am not happy with them (the players) and they know that.
“That’s not right. The fans who travelled down from Dundee have been short-changed.”
