'No joy' in Pressley's first win & Dundee 'at lowest for years'?
We asked for your views following Steven Pressley's first win in three Premier Sports Cup group games as Dundee edged past Bonnyrigg what some of you said:Kevin: Yet another lacklustre performance and for 75 minutes you would have struggled to work out who were the Premiership team. Only really got over the line when Bonnyrigg ran out of I'm backing Steven to the hilt. He talks common sense and doesn't sugarcoat Okay, it was a win but realistically it didn't happen until the final five minutes. We should really be able to win that type of game far easier than the final few minutes. The jury is still out on the Dundee are at their lowest for years. Being held by a non-league team to the last 10 minutes is an embarrassment. Shocking excuses already, blaming players' fitness, when that's something that should be a given. I don't see any points from the first quarter of league games. Pressley will be sacked by end of It's hard to be positive about a late, late win against a non-league side. We should be winning games like this with ease. I know this is pre-season, but these aren't friendlies. Pressley has a lot of work to do to convince anyone that he was the right choice of It felt weird. Almost like there was no joy in the win - that's where we are at just now. Baffling first-half team selection and the token subs on the hour to try to salvage something. Little creativity, no domination, just stuttering along. If we start the league like this we'll be humbled every week.

Celtic star ‘set to leave Parkhead for transfer to Hoops' Premiership rivals'
BRENDAN RODGERS is reportedly set to let one of his players join one of Celtic's Premiership rivals on loan for the season. It's been a busy window for the Scottish champions so far with plenty of ins and outs already at Parkhead. 2 Brendan Rodgers has made a decision on several of his out-of-favour stars already Credit: Getty 2 David Martindale is looking to sign one of the Rodgers' Hoops players Credit: Kenny Ramsay Six players have left the club since the beginning of the window, including Nicolas Kuhn who completed his stunning £17million move to Como this month. A few more Celtic players are expected to join him out the exit door in the coming weeks. And it could be SEVEN Hoops stars in the near future as the Daily Record claim one player is closing in on a loan move to Livingston. It's suggested that left-back Adam Montgomery is set to join David Martindale's side for the upcoming campaign. Montgomery, 23, is out of the picture at Parkhead despite being handed minutes in various friendlies in pre-season this summer. The full-back has made 20 appearances for the Hoops since his debut back in 2021, but hasn't managed to tie down a regular spot in the first team. Most of those outings came in the 2021/22 campaign under Ange Postecoglou in his first season in charge. But since then he's fallen down the pecking order and has enjoyed loan spells at Aberdeen, St Johnstone, Motherwell, Fleetwood Town and Queen's Park. He spent last season in the Championship with the Spiders, but looks set for Premiership action this coming season with the Lions. Livi boss Martindale is needing another left-back after Robbie Fraser returned to Rangers following his loan stint last term. Inside ex-Celtic and Scotland star's £3m property empire as free agent spends almost £1m on two properties in St Andrews He joined the club in January for the remainder of the campaign and impressed in the second tier, helping the Lions return to the top flight. Now Martindale has turned his attention to another Old Firm left-back to take his place. It's stated that Montgomery is set to be announced as Livi's latest summer recruit. It's believed the club are closing in on the signing of Aidan Denholm on loan from Hearts as well, while former Willem II striker Jeremy Bokila is also set to join.

A Sunderland transfer coup over an ex Arsenal star could leave the door open to Hibs landing one of their key targets. The Hibees are in Denmark this week for the first leg of their Europa League second qualifying round tie vs FC Midtjylland. Shopping in the transfer market has been done ahead of the game with the club's record fee broken to sign striker Thibault Klidje with midfielders Josh Mulligan and Jamie McGrath also arriving. Raphael Sallinger has bolstered head coach David Gray's options between the sticks Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad One man Hibs would love to have again is Nectar Triantis, who is now back at Sunderland after a successful loan stint at Easter Road. He was pivotal to Gray's team finishing third in the Premiership and gaining entry to European football but has been with the Black Cats in Portugal as uncertainty surrounds his future. An ambitious Sunderland move for ex Arsenal man Granit Xhaka, now at Bayer Leverkusen, could change things. Granit Xhaka to Sunderland transfer latest and impact on Hibs There are reports that a £15m move could be in the works as the Stadium of Light side look to maintain Premier League status. Personal terms are not believed to be an issue and Sunderland will look to get a deal wrapped up with Leverkusen in time for their Premier League campaign beginning. It would push Triantis further down the pecking order when it comes to midfield placement, with the club spending cash this summer to try and sustain top flight football. Interestingly, despite thriving in the engine room, Triantis was listed as a defender for Sunderland's pre-season training in Portugal. Midfield chances look set to lessen though with Xhaka bound to arrive. Now 32, the Swiss star who's won the Bundesliga spent seven years at Arsenal before leaving in 2023, having shone at FC Basel and Borussia Monchengladbach previously. His agent, José Noguera, told Sky: 'We've reached an agreement in principle with Sunderland. Granit wants to return to the Premier League. Sunderland excites him – he wants to take on this challenge. We hope Leverkusen will respect his wish to leave and that the clubs will find an agreement soon.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad What Hibs have said on signing Nectar Triantis Speaking recently on the enforcer, Gray said: 'His parent club have been promoted. He'll be looking at options and what's there and trying to impress there. Why would you not want to do that after doing so well out on loan? But we're making sure we're not singling one player for one position - and we have got our targets. Things can change and that's the difficult job of the recruitment department. 'No immediate update. We made it clear how well he did here that we'd be interested. We're always looking. We know the areas we still need to look at and we're trying to improve so when the window closes, we're in a stronger position. 'We want to make sure we bring the right type; it's not a case of just bringing in numbers. Players coming in have settled really well and it's good to get them used to playing at Easter Road. Josh Mulligan and Jamie did really well. We have a good core who embrace players coming. It's a good recipe to have.'
