Dundee goalscorer Drey Wright insists the 3-1 win over St Mirren should be the standard of performance they seek from now on after ending a four-game Premiership losing streak.

Despite falling behind after Clark Robertson gifted the opener to Mikael Mandron, Steven Pressley’s side bounced back to record a vital win that lifted them to ninth in the table.

After Alex Gogic deflected into his own net to equalise, Wright’s powerful shot from outside the area caught St Mirren goalkeeper Shamal George out before Joe Westley settled the win.

It’s massive for us,” Wright told BBC Scotland. “Especially the run of form we were on, there was no hiding away from it.

“It was a really well-rounded performance once we’d ironed out the issues we caused ourselves.

“We dug in when we needed to. Everyone in that box defended with their lives and it was good to see.

“That’s what it takes and that’s the benchmark now going forward.”

Victory is a timely boost, having not won since defeating Celtic at home, ahead of a midweek trip to face the Premiership champions in Glasgow.

“Obviously we know we’ve got a tough game coming up, but with the form we’ve been on we can only look at one game at a time,” Wright explained.

“We saw this as a big opportunity for us, we’ve delivered on that and then it will be on to the next game.

“There’s a lot of confidence in so many different areas to take, which is the really pleasing thing.”
