James McPake has demanded more resilience from his Dundee team when they continue their survival battle against Hearts at Tynecastle this evening.

Dundee were looking to build on taking a point each against Tayside rivals St Johnstone and Dundee United when they hosted Ross County on Saturday and they had chances to add to Zak Rudden's opener.

But McPake felt they allowed themselves to be too heavily impacted by Joseph Hungbo's equaliser late in the first half and Regan Charles-Cook turned the game around after the break to leave Dundee bottom of the cinch Premiership.

John Souttar should return for Hearts tonight after missing 2 matches with with an ankle problem.

Dundee will be without recent arrival Vontae Daley-Campbell after he was given a straight red card at the end of Saturday's loss to Ross County.
