Simon Murray harbours Scotland hope but prioritises Dundee survival fight

“It is obviously something that would be unbelievable but it is not my full focus or my focus at the moment, I am fully focussed on helping Dundee stay in the Premiership and if I do that, and I do my job, then if something like that was to happen then so be it.

“Scotland have been doing so well, they got to the Euros, they have got top players in the English Premier League and they have had [Kevin] Nisbet and [Lawrence] Shankland, who have been doing really well for season after season so it is a tough squad to get into.

“But, at the same time, I know I could probably add something to that but I just need to keep doing what I am doing and whatever takes place takes place.”

Murray feels the current campaign “has probably been my best season” but his scoring form is no flash in the pan.

The Dundonian scored 23 times for Ross County last term, following a campaign of 21 with the Staggies and Queen’s Park.

“It took me a wee bit to get going here, there was probably a bit of frustration in the early part of the season for myself in front of goal and I felt I left a few goals out there, but I think since the end of December I have kicked on and shown pretty good consistency,” he explained.

“I came into full-time football a bit later. I feel like I have applied myself from then but maybe I am starting to get some rewards. In the last three seasons it has been pretty consistent.”
