​Simo Valakari is relishing the intensity of St Johnstone’s first Tayside derby since the Perth club returned to the Scottish Premiership.Newly promoted Saints make the short journey to Dens Park to face Dundee on Wednesday after winning one of their opening three top-flight matches so far.”This is where we want to be, to show ourselves and to be there together with our fans and go and play football against our rival, go and play against a team who has started the season very well,” head coach Valakari said.”It’s exactly the game we want to take part in. Not just take part, but showing ourselves, showing truly what we are.”It’s a pressure environment, so you need to be tough in your head, you need to be tough physically, you need to be tactically spot-on, but this is exactly the type of game we want to take part in.”
