Dundee boss Barry Smith insists his side can once again triumph in adversity despite facing a striker crisis for Saturday’s game against Falkirk.
Dundee were already set to be without Leigh Griffiths who is currently training with Wolves before hopefully sealing a permanent move.
Now, they will also be missing Sean Higgins who is suspended after being sent off for two bookable offences against Dunfermline at the weekend.
However, Smith is still optimistic that his side can pick up another priceless win against the Bairns, especially after being impressed by the performance of trialist Tom Brighton at East End Park.
“Sean being suspended presents us with a problem but we will just have to get on with it,” Smith said.
“The boys will continue to fight their corner and stick together. Whoever is asked to play up front will do a job for us, it is as simple as that.”
He added, “We managed to bring in Tam Brighton on trial on Saturday and from what I saw of him, I think there is a player there waiting to get out.
“He has not played a competitive game for a long time but I thought his work rate was different class.
“He was up front by himself and he really ran himself into the ground.”
He added, “He has gone into our dressing-room and realised what the lads are fighting for and he has bought into that.
“That is credit to the boys in there as they will not let anyone come into the dressing-room and not make them aware of what is at stake.”
