Dundee head coach Steven Pressley has been speaking to the media before Sunday's derby with Dundee United.
Here are the key lines:
On reported interest in former Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack, Pressley says he is "a player we've certainly spoken about within the club".
The Dundee boss says his squad are "excited" and "apprehensive" about Sunday's derby at Dens Park, which will be his first in charge.
Pressley anticipates a "great game" and "great spectacle", adding: "There's a real sense within group that they are excited about it".
The head coach knows "how important it is to the city of Dundee and our supporters" and is aiming to "continue to build" on back-to-back draws at Rangers and Kilmarnock.
Winning the derby would "give everyone an enormous lift," he adds.
Pressley says there is "growing confidence" within his squad and promises "a really honest performance" from his players this weekend.
On the potential of further summer signings: "Very dependent on a number of things. I want to find that sweet spot where we have enough players but not too many. We're not far away from that."
Team news: Paul Digby is still missing and Charlie Reilly is "not quite there yet".
