Ross County boss Jim McIntyre has told his players they need to start striking first as they prepare to host Dundee.

Ross County boss Jim McIntyre has told his players they need to start striking first as they prepare to host Dundee.

County have conceded the first goal in six of their last eight Premiership games. Although they came from behind to beat Hamilton and lost a lead against Aberdeen, their recent record has followed suit - six defeats in eight matches.

McIntyre said: The frustrating thing is out of the last seven or eight weeks, there has only been one game where we have taken the lead, outwith the Aberdeen game, which was Motherwell and we go on and win the game comfortably.

We are always finding ourselves having to chase games and that's not a good position to be in because that's when you have to take risks and you lose a bit of your shape.''
