[SNS]Striker Simon Murray says Dundee must maintain their current levels of performance to end the season on a high.Murray scored the only goal of the game against Hearts at Tynecastle to elevate Dundee out of the relegation play-off spot in the Premiership table.It was Murray's 22nd goal of the season for Dundee and he says to keep a clean sheet in defence was one of the key elements of their game plan on the day.
"We knew how tough it was going to be," he said. "But we felt in the last few weeks, bar the Hibs game, we've been in pretty good form. We've shown good performances.
"We had to be patient. We had more of a game plan without the ball and used our strength on the counter really well."Obviously, clean sheets isn't something we've done a lot of as a team this year and today I thought we were absolutely solid.
They never really threatened us, even though they had a bit of the ball."Murray's goals have brought about calls for him to be included in the Scotland squad for the summer friendlies against Iceland and Lichtenstein.However, he says his sole concentration is on his club football and ensuring Dundee retain their Premiership status for next season.
"When you grow up as a kid, to play for your national team's the goal, isn't it? That's the dream for every player," added Murray."It would obviously be amazing, but I know how good the players are on that team. I just need to keep doing what I'm doing for my club.
Just keep working hard and whatever happens, happens.".
