Dark Blues manager keen to stay put at Dens Park

around, McGhee insists the “raw materials” are already at Dens Park to bring success.

“I’d love the opportunity to bring them back up, but it remains to be seen until we have that discussion,” McGhee added.

“The raw materials are here, recruitment is needed but that’s something being looked at and improved.

“How we do that, the science behind it and the determination to sign the right type and level of players is something that will be addressed.

“If we can get that right and add to the level of player we already have under contract here then I think we’ll have a squad that can bounce straight back.

“There are good young players here ready to come through – Josh Mulligan, Max Anderson, Fin Robertson and young Harry Sharp have all been in and around it doing well.

“They will all make real progress next season, being starters, and others will be coming through behind them as well.

“It’s about having an energetic, talented young team backed up by experience to help them out.

“I definitely think there is a lot of potential at this club.”

Mark McGhee said changes can lead Dundee to a “bright future”.
