Dundee is currently in fifth place in the league, having lost only once in their last five matches. In contrast, Hearts, managed by Neil Critchley, find themselves at the bottom of the table. Docherty sees this as a crucial moment for his team to push for a spot in the top six.
He stated that the players have shown a strong bond and a positive attitude. Their celebrations after scoring goals reflect their unity. Docherty feels this strong mentality will help them continue to succeed.
When Dundee faced Hearts at Dens Park in August, they won convincingly with a score of 3-1. However, Docherty acknowledges that Critchley has made improvements to the Hearts team despite their current struggles. He has been in charge for ten games and is starting to implement his strategies.
Docherty emphasized that his main focus is on his own team. He is pleased with their recent form, noting they are ranked third in the last six games, only behind Celtic and Rangers. He respects Hearts and recognizes that they have talented players.
Tynecastle can be a challenging place to play, but Docherty believes it can also be an exciting venue for away teams. He is confident that his players can rise to the occasion and perform well in this important match.
