Curtis Main is raring to go for the season ahead after netting a hat-trick in Dundee’s opening 7-1 Premier Sports Cup win at Bonnyrigg Rose.
The 32-year-old grabbed two first-half goals and headed in with 10 minutes left to complete his treble.
The former Motherwell, Aberdeen and St Mirren centre forward returned to Scottish football in January following a spell with Indian club Bengaluru, but did not score in his 15 appearances for the Dark Blues last season.
“For a striker it is great to get off the mark early doors, and for myself it is fantastic to get a hat-trick in the first game,” Main said in a club media interview.
“Last season was not what I expected from myself and I know I can do better.
“It was just in terms of the fitness side of things, I was not in a position where I would have liked to have been.
“Now after a full pre-season I’m going into these games feeling really great, confident and really fit so I’m really looking forward to attacking the season.”
