My Take
Steven Pressley intrigues me as a rare figure who wore both Celtic and Rangers, crossing one of football's most bitter divides. That alone tells you he was respected on pure footballing merit. A Scottish centre-back from Elgin with 250-plus appearances at Hearts and a long, durable career, he was the steady, organizing type defenders are built from. Now coaching Dundee, he is doing what the best defenders often do: translating positional intelligence into management. I always root for the gritty, cerebral defenders who reinvent themselves on the touchline. Pressley reads like a self-made football lifer, and I respect that.
