Tony Docherty expressed immense pride on Sunday, stating, “Proud is a strong word and that is what I am.” His sentiment stemmed from witnessing his side’s heroic comeback and, notably, the mentality displayed by one specific player. Midfielder Mo Sylla, who had been in Paris on Saturday for the birth of his son, returned to Dundee by Sunday to join the starting xi. Following the match, Docherty announced, “We dedicated that win to Mo Sylla’s baby boy, who was born yesterday.” He further elaborated on Sylla’s commitment, stating, “He was in Paris yesterday and he made sure he was on a flight back last night.” Docherty added, “I gave him the opportunity. It’s so important, the birth of a child, but he made sure he was back and ready for the game.” He concluded by praising the player’s dedication, remarking, “That shows the real team mentality we’ve got, and the mentality of Mo, to be honest. Brilliant. Proud is a strong word and that is what I am.”
