Murray Aims for New Deal as He Recovers from Injury

Dundee's veteran striker Simon Murray is on the mend from an ACL injury and is setting his sights on a new contract. The 34-year-old has been in discussions with manager Steven Pressley about his future with the club, and he’s optimistic about what lies ahead. In the meantime, another former Celtic player, Vidar Riseth, is urging his old club to provide more support to their out-of-form striker Kasper Hogh. He believes that with the right service, Hogh can start finding the back of the net again and trusts that manager Martin O'Neill will guide the team through this challenging phase. Former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie has offered an apology after making critical remarks about Auston Trusty, who has been absent from matches following the loss of his father. McAvennie acknowledged the sensitivity of the situation and expressed regret for his comments. Scotland's injury woes are deepening, as Swansea City defender Stephen Welsh had to leave the pitch early in their recent 3-1 defeat to Portsmouth. His fitness will be closely monitored as the national team prepares for upcoming fixtures. In Hibernian news, forward Martin Boyle isn’t fazed by new manager Marink Reedijk's decision to hand the captaincy to Felix Passlack. Boyle, who has led the team for two years, insists that the change has had no impact on him. After a brief stint on the field in the League Cup semi-final against Hibs, Yan Dhanda expressed his frustration with his lack of playing time at Hearts. He revealed that it has been mentally challenging but remains committed to giving his all in the final year of his contract. Scott Nisbet has drawn comparisons between Rangers’ rising star Ryan Naderi and his former teammate Mark Hateley. Nisbet is impressed with Naderi's recent performances and sees similarities in their playing styles.
