Dundee boss McIntyre expects Hibs to hit the goal trail again soon

Neil Lennon's side have gone three matches without a goal prior to their clash with Dundee.

Dundee boss Jim McIntyre is not expecting Hibernian's loss of goalscoring form to last long and knows they will have to be resolute at Easter Road.

Hibs have not scored in three matches and only taken one point from their past four Ladbrokes Premiership encounters.

But they had not lost a league game at Easter Road this year before losing to St Johnstone this month and McIntyre's bottom side could have their work cut out on Saturday.

He told his club's official website: "We know we are going into a really tough match and Hibs being at home will be looking to make sure they are entertaining their own fans.

"They've still got the same players, they still have good players and if you are not at it can hurt you.

"We just have to concentrate on ourselves. Make sure we are dogged, determined, organised against the ball because they've got real pace in their team which can cause you major problems.

"They've never had any problems scoring goals so we know we are going to have to defend well but equally we know we have a threat that we carry as well."
