We'll be tip top thanks to snipers

STEVEN PRESSLEY admits being tipped for relegation is helping Dundee.

The new Dundee boss saw his side lose 2-1 to Hibs in his first league game in Scotland since 2013.

That fuelled the popular belief that the Dens men are destined for the drop this season.

But Pressley, who insists Dundee face a rebuild, says his players are being motivated to prove wrong the critics and pundits who tipped them to go down.

Elvis said: “I think when you look at the changes that's happened at the club, when you look at where we are in the recruitment and the process, I think it's natural for people to tip us [for relegation].

“We're not going to shout about it. The only way we can prove it is by getting results and improved performances and we'll certainly be working hard towards that.”
