Right-back Cammy Kerr thinks Dundee are finding their feet
Dundee right-back Cammy Kerr believes he and his team-mates are finding their feet after a difficult transition period.
Paul Hartley's side travel to face Hearts on Saturday looking for their first win since the opening day of the Ladbrokes Premiership season.
Dundee had earlier been knocked out of the Betfred Cup group stages as they adjusted to the loss of top goalscorer Kane Hemmings and key attacking midfielder Greg Stewart.
Kerr has been establishing himself in the first team during that process, making the right-back slot his own following the departure of Paul McGinn to Chesterfield.
The 21-year-old had made an impact in midfield towards the end of last season following two loan spells at Peterhead and he feels he is adapting to his new role.
I'm still young and I'm still learning, so it's going to take time to find my feet,'' he said.
But I think the last few weeks, as a team collectively and myself, I have found my feet a lot more and I'm really enjoying it.
The step from the 20s to the first team is big, as I expected, but you have got to be able to handle it.''
Kerr added: The boys will be thinking that we need a victory and we have not had one in a while but we have come off the back of a few tough fixtures, Aberdeen and Celtic.
Obviously we have Hearts this week and St Johnstone next week but you have got to believe we are in the running to try and get top six, and we have got to be competing with these teams.''
