Docherty on transfers, 'huge' derby & Shaughnessy
Dundee manager Tony Docherty has been speaking to the media before Monday's Scottish Cup tie with Dundee United at Dens Park.
Here are the key points:
On further potential transfer business, Docherty says: "I'm hoping there might be movement on one other."
There is no update on Lyall Cameron's future – and Docherty praised the midfielder for how he is handling himself amid the speculation.
The Dens boss described Monday's match as a "huge game" between two in-form sides, adding how good it is for the city when the teams are going well.
Docherty says the only disappointment in Dundee's recent run of games was their league defeat to United and they are hoping to "atone" for that.
He points out 15 of his 24-strong squad are aged 23 or under and insists they will have learned a lot from their last two games – live on TV against the Old Firm – which will hold them in good stead for the derby.
On the selection front, Cameron returned to training on Thursday morning but there are still eight players out injured.
Joe Shaughnessy is now back in full training with the squad and Docherty says it will be like having a new signing when the defender makes his top-team return.
