Motherwell v Dundee, how to watch crucial Premiership clash and who is the ref

Motherwell host Dundee on Saturday in the second of a five-game run that will determine their Premiership top six fate.

The Fir Park club will be coming up against a familiar face in the away dug-out as two-time former boss Mark McGhee brings the Taysiders to Lanarkshire.

Honours have been even in the league between the sides, with Dundee also notching up a Premier Sports Cup win at Dens Park back in August.

Motherwell won 1-0 on Dundee's last visit to Fir Park, with Tony Watt netting the only goal, but Dundee notched up a 3-0 rout back in November.

The hosts go into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat against Ross County on Wednesday, while Dundee drew 0-0 against Hibs.

A win for Motherwell could take them up to fourth in the table, but a Dundee triumph would see them climb off the bottom of the table, and with a game in hand over St Johnstone.

Crowds are allowed back in to Fir Park, so tickets are available for this one, but if you can't make it, the game will be streamed live on Motherwell TV and you can buy a pass here for £12.

Man in the middle

Andrew Dallas takes charge of the vital Premiership clash (SNS Group)

Andrew Dallas is in charge of the game at Fir Park on Saturday, and he will be assisted by Ross Macleod and Gordon Crawford, with Euan Anderson as fourth official.

Dallas has officiated in seven games this season, issuing 23 yellow cards and one red.

He has only been in charge of one game this season involving Motherwell, when they drew 0-0 at home to Hibs on January 26, during which the whistler sent off both midfielder Liam Donnelly and boss Graham Alexander, so the Steelmen will be looking to avoid a repeat of either!

Dallas has also only been in charge of one game involving Dundee this term, in a 1-0 Dens Park win over St Johnstone on December 1.
