Paul Hartley, the Dundee manager, can recall clearly the moment he won the league on the last day, as Celtic clinched the championship in 2008 with a win away to Dundee United.
The former midfielder is determined to emulate the feat across the road at Dens Park tomorrow.
Dundee will win the SPFL Championship with a win at home to Dumbarton, although any result could be enough so long as Hamilton Academical lose to Morton. Hartley is relishing the opportunity to earn his first silverware as a manager.
"Winning the title in 2008 at Tannadice was special," he said. "We knew then we had to go and win the game and it's the same for us on Saturday."
The fixture offers a thrill for Ian Murray, the Dumbarton manager, too. "[It] is going to be a sell-out crowd," he said.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
