| The striker has suffered a frustrating time since leaving Dens Park for Plymouth last summer and is currently battling back from a knee injury that has kept him out of Bobby Williamson’s south coast side.
That has prompted speculation that the 24-year-old may opt for a move north of the border in the close season, with Dundee boss Duffy high among his suitors.
However, that possibilty was knocked straight into touch this morning, when Jim described the story as “rubbish”.
The Dens men were facing Motherwell at home in a reserve game this afternoon, with several first-team men taking part.
“Bobby Mann, Joel Kitamarike, Garry Brady, Glenn Larsen and John Sutton will all get a run at some stage,” said Jim.
One man who didn’t feature was Iain Anderson, who is not yet fit enough to be considered.
Meanwhile, Jim was an interested spectator at last night’s SPL draw between Motherwell and Saturday’s opponents Hibs at Fir Park.
The Easter Road outfit have been flying high under Tony Mowbray, but have seen their cushion in third place whittled down to just three points by arch rivals Hearts.
However, Jim was suitably impressed by what he saw last night and knocked back suggestions the Hibees may be showing signs of a slump in form.
“They are still a very good side. In fact, both teams played well last night,” said Jim.
“Hibs created numerous chances and their attitude throughout was outstanding.
“I think they’ve lost only one game recently — to Rangers — and I would take that any day.”
Brent Sancho and Stevie Lovell, who were struggling after Saturday’s win over Motherwell, were both able to take part in training today. |
