With their Scottish Premiership survival secured, Dundee head coach Steven Pressley is turning his attention to the final two matches of the season—and giving his squad players a well-deserved shot in the spotlight.

The Dark Blues clinched their top-flight status in emphatic fashion on Saturday, dismantling already-relegated Livingston 3-0 at Dens Park. That result lifted the weight of relegation fears off the team's shoulders, allowing Pressley to rotate his lineup without the usual pressure of must-win scenarios.

Now, with nothing to lose and everything to gain, Dundee travel to Kilmarnock on Tuesday night before hosting Aberdeen in the season finale on Sunday. For fans, these games offer a glimpse into the club's depth and future potential.

"Well, it gives me an opportunity," Pressley said. "We've got a lot of good players within the group and some will feel that they've not had the opportunities in the last couple of months that they would have liked. Securing our status allows us to give several players the opportunity to play and I intend to do that."

It's a smart move from a manager who understands the value of keeping a squad engaged and motivated. After a grueling campaign marked by ups and downs, Pressley praised his team's resilience, noting that the adversity they faced has helped them grow both on and off the pitch.

"You have to keep moving forward and it's not easy. So the players have done it. They've responded to all the setbacks this season and, as a result of that, I think there's been great growth in them, not just as football players but as human beings."

For Dundee supporters, these final two games are more than just dead rubbers—they're a chance to see which fringe players might step up and earn a bigger role next season. And for the players themselves, it's an audition they won't want to miss.
