SIMON MURRAY admits to Scotland ambitions but insists his focus is on Dundee’s William Hill Premiership safety.

The uncapped 33-year-old striker has notched a remarkable 21 goals for the Taysiders, who are in the relegation play-off spot, five points ahead of bottom side St Johnstone and one behind Ross County, with five fixtures remaining.

Dundee boss Tony Docherty claimed earlier in the month that the former Dundee United, Queen’s Park and Ross County forward deserved international recognition, which sparked a widespread debate about whether Steve Clarke should give him a chance.
