Dundee striker Simon Murray says he is overwhelmed by the support shown to him after he picked up an anterior cruciate ligament injury last weekend.
Murray, 34, left the field on a stretcher after suffering the injury during the 3-0 League Cup defeat at Aberdeen.
He collapsed to the turf clutching his left knee in pain after landing awkwardly near the penalty area in the first half.
"Thank you to everyone who has messaged and shown me support over the last few days," he said via social media.

"It has been incredibly overwhelming and has meant so much to myself and my family.
"Thank you to the gaffer, coaching staff and all my teammates for getting me through the last few days. What a group.
"Tomorrow is one of the biggest games of the season and one of the best rivalries in football. So, for Jim Goodwin and Dundee United to contact me with their support shows the respect we have for each other.
"Playing for and captaining Dundee is one of the biggest privileges of my footballing career, and I will be working harder than ever to get back to doing that as soon as possible.
"Thanks, Si."
