If Dundee are to stay in the Premiership this year, they may well have Simon Murray to thank.
In fact, you can make a strong case that Murray has been one of the most important players in the top division over the past couple of years.
At 33, the Dundonian – like a fine wine – has just been getting better with age.
He has long been known as an enthusiastic, high-energy pest of a striker - I mean that as a compliment - but in recent seasons he has been able to add 'goal machine' to his CV.
The season before last he netted 21 times for Queen's Park and Ross County.
And his goals last term (23 in all competitions and 14 in the league) were the decisive factor in preserving Ross County's Premiership status.
The good news for Dundee is he appears to be on course to eclipse that goals total in this campaign.
Murray has scored 18 times so far across all competitions. Twelve of them have come in the league - making him the Premiership's third top scorer, a fine achievement when you consider the team has been struggling.
Every team wants a striker that can deliver those sort of numbers.
And that is what could make the difference for the second-bottom Dark Blues as they look to build on the derby win at Dundee United and propel themselves away from relegation bother.
