Rae is up for battle at Huntly

Dundee boss Alex Rae insists they will fight to the end to ensurethere is no cup shock at Huntly.

The Dens Park side suffered one of the cup's biggest ever upsetswhen they lost 1-0 to Highland League side Fraserburgh in 1959.

But former Rangers midfielder Rae is determined there will be noslip-ups.

"We have had Huntly watched twice and the reports state they area decent side who will be very well organised," said Rae.

"This is a big day for them. They will see us as a major scalpand will be out to take us on.

"For them, it is their cup final.

"I have been in the position they are in, where you are a smallclub playing against someone higher up, so I know how their playerswill approach the game.

"It is a question of how we go about the match, though, and Iwill be reminding the players that our attitude must be spot on."

Former Wolves and Sunderland star Rae faces selection problemsahead of the 2,500 sell-out clash at Christie Park.

David O'Brien and Bryan Deasley are both doubtful through injury,while Rae is hopeful Paul McHale and Gary MacKenzie will recoverfrom injury in time.
