The Dark Blues were knocked out of the promotion race last weekend when Accies beat Clyde to grab an unassailable lead and render this weekend's fixture insignificant. Alex Rae's players will applaud their opponents onto the field prior to kick-off and the manager believes it is the right thing to do. "We have been asked to mark Hamilton winning the league and we'll do it," said Rae. "I'm a great believer in winning and losing with dignity and it's important we give them the credit they deserve." Rae will also open talks with on-loan Hibs striker Mickael Antoine-Curier after tomorrow's game and hopes to persuade the Frenchman to move to Tayside on a permanent basis. The 25-year-old has been deemed surplus to requirements at Easter Road. But after scoring nine goals since joining in January, Dundee are keen to extend his stay. "We are speaking to several players and trying to get them signed up," Rae added. "We're looking to build for next season and I'm hoping to get things firmed up before the summer."
