Relegation makes Livi a 'dangerous animal' - Pressley
Dundee head coach Steven Pressley believes Livingston's relegation from the Premiership will make his own side's bid to secure their top-flight status harder. The teams meet at Dens Park on Saturday and a win for Dundee would all but guarantee their Premiership survival. Livi's relegation was confirmed last weekend when Kilmarnock beat Dundee United 3-0.
Pressley was asked if the visitors' fate already being sealed makes their own mission more difficult. "I think harder," he said. "The biggest thing that affects performance is pressure and anxiety and Livingston are free of that, so in my opinion become a dangerous animal," he said.
"They have been a very unlucky team this year. They have performed well in many games that they haven't come away with anything. "We have found the level of game really difficult [against Livingston].
They have been very narrow games, we have drawn two and come out winners in one where we scored pretty much in the last minute of the game. "It is an opportunity that we don't want to give up, but we are also aware we are against a very difficult opposition. "
