Dundee boss Barry Smith insists the best has yet to come from his side’s new winger Jamie McCluskey.
The former Hibs and St Johnstone player has made an instant impression with fans of the Dark Blues in their two cup wins over Arbroath and Dumbarton.
Smith believes that once the player is fully fit, he will be an even more impressive performer for his side.
“There’s much more to come from Jamie,” he said.
“He hasn’t really done much of a pre-season so he’s still getting his match fitness and once he does, he will be even better.
“Jamie was probably the best player on the park at the weekend against Dumbarton in the cup and he’s certainly something different the way he makes life difficult for defenders.”
Dundee launch their latest first division title bid away to Partick Thistle at the weekend and Smith believes the two cup wins give them grounds for quiet optimism for the visit to Firhill.
“The league is our top priority and I think these two cup games will stand us in good stead,” he added.
“They have helped get the boys up to speed for what will be a very difficult league start at Firhill.
“It’s good preparation because Thistle will be up for it and so will we.”
Graham Bayne is Smith’s only injury concern as he continues his recovery from a calf problem which has ruled him out of the opening two matches.
