'The squad will be loving him' - what's it like to play under Pressley?

Steven Pressley is the Scottish Premiership's man of the moment - but what is it like to play under him? Arbroath midfielder Ryan Flynn, who worked with Pressley at Falkirk, says the 52-year-old is a master at instilling confidence in players and nurturing a positive environment for them to thrive in. "Dundee as a football club looks so different, the positivity coming out of there, and without a doubt it's Pressley that should take all the credit," Flynn told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast. "I think he's so clever, the way he goes about it in the media. Even at the start of this season, it was all doom and gloom, but I know for a fact, working with him when he was at Falkirk, behind the scenes with those players, he will build so much confidence, especially the attacking ones. "He just filled you with so much [confidence], no matter if you're going to make mistakes, you can play with free rein within his system. "And you can see that the attacking players are thriving again." Pressley's rebuilt side have begun the league season with a narrow defeat at Celtic and impressive win over Aberdeen, who they meet in the League Cup second round this weekend. "I just think even when it comes to after the games, he's quick to praise the players, it's never about him," Flynn added. "Although he's a larger-than-life character, he's quick to pass it on and give all the praise and accolades to the players. "So he's so clever the way he goes about his business, and I know for a fact that squad and that group of players will be loving him."
