Dundee striker Simon Murray says he hopes to kick on after getting "that monkey off the back" by scoring both his side's goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Livingston.
The 30-year-old has been one of the country's most prolific scorers in recent seasons, but his early double represented his first goals since September.
"It has been a really frustrating season for myself in terms of goals and a few niggling injuries, but it sometimes happens," he said. "You just need to keep plugging away and I am glad to get a couple of goals today.
"It is nice to get that monkey off the back and just kick on now."
Dundee, who are ninth in the Scottish Premiership, have struggled for goals this season and Murray admits "we probably shot ourselves in the foot" by squandering their early two-goal advantage against the bottom-placed visitors.
The Dark Blues missed a chance to oust Celtic in the Scottish Cup last weekend thanks to two late goals for the hosts last weekend then went down to a single goal in Falkirk in midweek.
"It has been a tough week, a disappointing week in terms of we put in a lot and maybe never got out what we maybe deserved, but sometimes that is football we just need to move on to next week," Murray added.
"We have been working really hard to get that final cutting edge, but in terms of defensively, it wasn't necessarily we were really bad defensively we maybe just gave the ball away in areas which left ourselves open at times."
