Mark McGhee in amusing naked promise if Dundee defeat St Johnstone

Dundee boss Mark McGhee has revealed that he has promised to go “naked for a week” if his team defeat St Johnstone on Saturday.

The club host Saints at Dens Park in a crucial relegation encounter with the Dees trailing their rivals by five points.

McGhee hit the headlines earlier in the week when he said he was going on a diet and turning the heating off in preparation for the game.

"Some people might understand what I was trying to do and other people think it's funny,” he said.

"The boys made me promise that if we beat St Johnstone then I've got to go naked for a week, which is not going to help anyone.

"You've just got to do something.

"You've got to do something to psychologically remind yourself and put yourself under a bit of pressure because there's a big game coming.

"I think the players understand the message that I'm trying to give."
