Win 'massive' for Dundee but relegation play-off fight not over yet - Westley

Yahoo Sports

Dundee striker Joe Westley says their 1-0 win over St Mirren was "massive" but insists no one will think their Premiership status is secure until it is "mathematically done". Westley's early strike proved decisive as they edged out the Paisley side at Dens Park on Saturday. The result leaves Dundee six points clear of the relegation play-off spot, which is now occupied by St Mirren following Kilmarnock's win against Dundee United.

The Dark Blues now have three games to play, starting with a home date against relegated Livingston next weekend where they can secure their Premiership status with a victory. "We are not safe until it is mathematically done so we need to keep focussed and make sure that come next week we put ourselves safe," Westley said. "It is a massive win, we had to defend resolutely, St Mirren caused us some problems with their overloads in midfield and we had to adapt in the game but we got the goal and I think we defended really well to see out the game and it is a massive three points in our season.

" "Wins breed confidence and we have to take confidence from the good things. "
