Caleb Akpo-Young - BBC Sport ScotlandWed, November 26, 2025 at 8:04 PM UTC·1 min readUnder-pressure Dundee boss Steven Pressley is well aware of the demand from supporters for results as he prepares for a "pivotal" home match against St Mirren on Saturday.
Dundee have lost four consecutive league games, and six of the past seven, to occupy second-bottom spot in the Premiership but are within a point of Kilmarnock and ninth-place St Mirren.

"The difficulty for a manager or a head coach is that you can never guarantee result, but what we've got to work towards is performance and then you hope the performance will give you the result.
"I could talk all day about performance, improved performance, but really, the supporters want to see those results.
"So, I understand that, that's why for both clubs this weekend it's a very important game.
"I think it's been a challenging period but I've retained a lot of faith in what we're doing.

"So, we get all that but I don't think the supporters want to hear all that at present.
"The important thing is we know this weekend is a pivotal weekend. We know for both clubs it can be the catalyst for real confidence within the group, a real feelgood factor. We have to ensure we're on the right end of the result.
"Ultimately, we need to try and get a performance that gives us a result because the supporters want to see a result."
