Dundee FC manager Steven Pressley calls for resilience and character from his squad after a challenging start to his reign, with two cup defeats ending their Premier Sports Cup hopes early.
Steven Pressley's Dundee FC managerial debut was marked by a 1-0 Premier Sports Cup defeat to Airdrieonians. The new gaffer swiftly highlighted the extensive work needed, acknowledging the squad's disjointed play and the critical need for more training time.
The Premier Sports Cup kicked off with unexpected results. St Mirren lost a penalty shootout, Steven Pressley's Dundee suffered a home defeat, and Ross County stumbled. But Falkirk soared with a 7-0 win, while Kilmarnock and Livingston also won.
Dundee's new captain, Simon Murray, is brimming with ambition, hoping to lead the club to Scottish Cup success or even European football, echoing Aberdeen's recent triumph. The striker, who recently had a penalty saved, is excited by new boss Steven Pressley's vision.
Tony Docherty expresses 'shock' following his dismissal as Dundee manager despite a 10th-place finish. Reflecting on a tenure he’s proud of, Docherty cites a challenging second season and player development as highlights.
