Setting the Scene – Is it a Big Game? Well, in a word, YES! Possibly depending on results which they will know before they kick off against Dundee United at Tannadice, Sons could clinch a sixth season in the Championship in front of the live BBC Alba cameras. So, it’s going to be another huge day on Saturday – the penultimate one in the race for survival in the Championship.

View from the Dressing Room: Manager Stevie Aitken knows that the Dundee United game could prove to be the pivotal game in the 16/17 season. He said : “We have an opportunity tomorrow, no doubt, but Dundee United are in the play-off zone and are looking to finish second which is a huge incentive for them. We are under no illusions of the task in front of us.”

Team News: With no suspensions or major injury worries, manager Aitken has a full squad to choose from, minus long term absentee Grant Gallagher.
