Dundee marked their Premiership return by drawing 1-1 at home to Motherwell last weekend.
Not the home win they would have wanted, but plenty of cause for optimism nonetheless.
Tony Docherty will have been delighted with some of the football his side played in the torrential rain, and will feel a sunny future beckons for them – based on that showing anyway.
Had it not been for the woodwork denying them twice, Dundee would have won that game, so firm evidence that the side he is building can more than hold their own at Scottish football’s top table.
