Dundee defender treating wins and losses the same way

Darren O’Dea was “level-headed” when one Dundee win was following another.

And it is the same now that the Dark Blues are going into a derby on the back of two defeats in a row.

“I have years of experience in football behind me,” the former Celtic man said.

“And if this game has taught me one thing, it is that you need to stay clam.

“Getting too high or too low is not so good.

“When we have been winning games we have been working as hard as we have after we have been losing games.

“You have to stay level-headed as a footballer.

“This week is business as usual for us. It’s all about getting back to winning ways, whoever the opposition.”

O’Dea added: “We want to finish as high as this club ever has done since winning the league.

“That is still all there to play for.

“We wanted a top six finish and we are in a good position to achieve that.”
