IAIN DAVIDSON has been lauded for showing leadership qualities for Dundee but he insists he is more interested in promotion than praise.

Davidson’s determinat­ion and distributi­on from midfield seemed to pull the Dark Blues up the park when they hosted Queen of the South onTuesday night.

He also scored what turned out to be the winning goal to keep the Dens men a point ahead of Championsh­ip title rivals Hamilton Accies.

It was a dominant display that quite rightly earned plaudits from manager Paul Hartley, who also stated that he sees him more as a midfielder than a central defender.

D av i d s o n will be operating from the centre of the park again today when Falkirk are the visitors and a repeat performanc­e would have his gaffer singing his praises again.

However, he insists the only thing he is interested in is the team getting back up to the Premiershi­p.

“I was just working hard for the team,” said Davidson, whose header proved to be the difference between the sides
