SMASH HIT FOR ELVIS

Simon says that one was dedicated to boss

- BY NEIL ROBERTSON

SIMON MURRAY admits there was one man he was delighted for more than any other after Dundee’s hoodoo-busting victory over Celtic - manager Steven Pressley.

The Dark Blues defied all the odds on Sunday to beat the Hoops at Dens for the first time in 37 years.

A Clark Robertson header and Cameron Carter-Vickers own goal sealed the sensational 2-0 win over the champions with skipper Murray giving his boss a huge hug as the Dundee players celebrated wildly at the end.

Pressley’s appointment as Tony Docherty’s successor in June was greeted with hostility by sections of the Dundee support. A faltering start to the season ramped up the pressure which increased even further when the Dark Blues were thumped 4-0 by Aberdeen before the international break.
