Former Brentford head of individual development Pressley has replaced Tony Docherty, the manager who brought Murray back to Dundee last summer.

Murray thinks highly of both and said of his new head coach on BBC Radio Scotland’s Sportsound: “It’s been really exciting, the ideas that he’s got and how he wants us to play.

“He’s been down south at Brentford for the last four or five years. He’s maybe going to try and implement some of the things that they do with us.

“It’s just exciting to maybe learn something new and see where it takes us.”

Dundee open their 2025-26 campaign with League Cup games against Airdrieonians, Alloa Athletic, Bonnyrigg Rose and Montrose before a Scottish Premiership opener at home to Hibernian on 3 August.

And, on being captain, Murray said: “I’m just going to keep being me and hopefully that personality is good for maybe some of the younger players and trying to help them on as well as leading on a match day.

“I’m just looking forward to having an even better season. Make sure you get off to a good start and take it from there.”
