'No-one works harder than Tiffoney' - Dochertypublished at 17:15 11 August 2024

Dundee manager Tony Docherty hailed Scott Tiffoney's work-rate after the winger produced a standout display in Saturday's win over Hearts.
The 25-year-old didn't start in the Dundee derby on the opening day of the league season, but was brought into the team against Hearts and took his chance.
Tiffoney scored the opening goal in the 3-1 win and also won a penalty which Luke McCowan duly dispatched.
"Nobody at the club works harder than Tiff," said Docherty. "He's getting stronger, he's getting more robust and his pace is outstanding.
"I'm a real admirer of Gerald Taylor, but I felt Tiff gave him a torrid time because he was on top of him the whole game.
"I couldn’t be more pleased for him and deservedly he got man of the match."
Shortly before Dundee’s second goal, Docherty was shown a yellow card for protesting the decision not to red card Taylor for a heavy and late tackle on Tiffoney.
"It was more the speed of the tackle," he said. "I felt it was reckless and I feared for Scott Tiffoney.
"I don’t ever want to see anyone get sent off but I felt it was reckless.
"I don’t know what I got booked for, I think I came out of the technical area to protest, but I was concerned about Tiff because of the tackle, I thought he’d been hurt.
"I was having a wee go at the referee to protect the players because Tiff was having a great game and they had obviously earmarked him as someone to try and stop.
"He's a big player for our team so I don't want to lose him. If I look back on it and I was wrong, I'll apologise. I did apologise to the officials anyway, I don't enjoy getting yellow cards because when I tell the players to stay calm, I need to stay calm as well."
