Dundee midfielder Drey Wright has issued a rallying cry, insisting his side's confidence remains unshaken despite suffering consecutive defeats to Scottish Premiership heavyweights Hearts and Celtic. The message is clear: the fight for survival is far from over.

The Dark Blues pushed the defending champions all the way on Sunday, narrowly losing 2-1 to a late Celtic winner at Dens Park. This followed a tight 1-0 loss to Hearts, snapping a promising five-match unbeaten run that had offered real hope in their battle against the drop.

With the league table tightening, the stakes couldn't be higher. A defeat this weekend against Kilmarnock would see Dundee's cushion over the play-off spot shrink to a mere two points, with St Mirren and Aberdeen also breathing down their necks.

"I think for the last few months especially, we've gone on a good unbeaten run, beat some good teams," Wright stated, focusing on the positives. "We've lost to Hearts and Celtic, which generally should be the case. I don't think we can get too disheartened by it. There's a lot of good things and we'll be taking that into next week."

The post-split fixtures have now been confirmed, setting up a dramatic finale. Dundee will face a crucial Tayside derby at rivals Dundee United before concluding their season at home against Aberdeen. It's a schedule that promises high drama and intense pressure.

Wright, however, remains bullish about his team's prospects. "I'm fully confident in the group of players and the staff that we have enough over that stretch of fixtures," he asserted. He highlighted the team's collective grit, noting, "Why teams find it difficult playing against us, a lot of it is our out-of-possession work as well. Obviously, the two go hand in hand if you want to be winning games."

As the relegation battle reaches its boiling point, Dundee's resolve, built on recent performances and a defiant spirit, will be tested like never before. The coming weeks will define their season.
