What they're saying

"
What a difference a year can make, certainly in the case of Steven Pressley. Wind back 12 months and he was a man very much up against it, having to win over a large proportion of the Dundee support who were, let's say, sceptical about his surprise appointment as head coach. As last season went on, he assembled a side that got better and better, in terms of results and style of football on their way to an eighth place Premiership finish.
