Dundee manager Neil McCann says it could be like the undercard to McGregor-Mayweather when he faces Neil Lennon at the match against Hibs on Sunday

Dundee manager Neil McCann says he expects "fireworks" when Neil Lennon takes Hibernian to Dens Park on Sunday.

Dundee are looking for their first point of the season having lost their first three games but McCann accepts much of the attention could be on the touchline when the teams meet live on Sky Sports Football.

"Fireworks yeah, we'll be an undercard to the Mayweather-McGregor fight," McCann joked on Sky Sports News.

"We're both fiery characters, I think we're both passionate about the game, we really believe in and back our sides, and at times we let the emotion boil over but the most important thing is we want to win the game of football.

"So I don't think there should be any surprises if we get a bit of needle and a bit of shouting back and forth towards the dugouts because we want decisions to go our way and sometimes you don't get them."

"Hibs have been fantastic this season", he added. "I think the one thing that Hibs and Neil Lennon have had is a constant almost winning feeling coming up through the Championship so they've got that know how and they've done really well."
