Dundee vs Livingston preview - Dark Blues without banned duo

Dundee have defenders Rhys Weston and Neil McGregor suspended as they look to secure second place in the First Division and end a run of three successive defeats against visitors Livingston.

The Dark Blues have ruled out Jamie McCluskey with a knock and manager Barry Smith is demanding a win for the fans of the Dens Park club.

Smith said: "It is the final game and I want us to finish it in style and send the fans away happy. It will also be the last game for Dundee for some of the players and I am sure they will want to repay the fans for their support.

"Livingston have been doing really well away from home but this is a game we must win to ensure second place."

Livingston have a major doubt over midfielder Keaghan Jacobs, who has an ankle problem, as they look to complete a sixth win in a row on the road.

The Lions will again be without Jonathan Brown, Jason Talbot, Liam Fox and Iain Russell through injuries.

Manager John Hughes wants his youngsters to close out their season in an exciting fashion.

He said: "We have been playing some really exciting stuff away from home as pitches tend to be better than the one we have. I want our guys to go out and pass the ball really quickly.

"A win could see us finish in third place which would be really good when you consider it is the club's first season back in the First Division."
