When the current season commenced, a widespread expectation was that Dundee would face demotion from the Scottish Premiership, particularly given their inability to secure a victory in their initial five league fixtures.
Their position remains precarious, yet the triumph on Saturday against Aberdeen positions Steven Pressley’s team with a six-point advantage over Kilmarnock, who occupy the relegation play-off position.
The 3-2 success achieved at Pittodrie marked their inaugural victory at that venue in 22 years, standing as the newest entry in a series of remarkable accomplishments throughout the ongoing season.
During August, they departed Ibrox having secured a draw, an achievement not seen in 21 years, which effectively established the trajectory for Pressley’s tenure as manager.
A header from Clark Robertson along with an an own goal credited to Cameron Carter-Vickers secured for Dundee their first home win at Dens Park against Celtic since the year 1988, an occasion when Tommy Coyne netted the sole goal.
The team had not managed consecutive away victories against their rivals, Dundee United, since the 1998-99 campaign; however, Ashley Hay’s strike ensured they brought the points home to Dens in January, building upon their 4-2 success at Tannadice from the previous season.
Considering there are 11 additional league fixtures remaining, is it plausible for Pressley’s squad to establish further new records?
