Dundee fullback Owen Beck hopes for the chance to prove himself at parent club Liverpool.

Beck scored in Saturday's defeat to Hibs.

"I've spoken to them (Liverpool) regularly and they are happy for me to be here," he said.

"I am playing and improving and those are the main reasons why I am happy.

"Going back to Liverpool (in the summer) won't be easy but if I get the chance then hopefully I can prove myself."

On his first goal, he added: “I'm proud to score my first goal for Dundee," he said.

"It just fell to me and I just had to put it in the net. It was quite an easy finish to be fair. I think after they went down to 10 men I think we showed real team spirit and I don't think you can knock us.

"It is just a matter of us not taking our chances and on the day it just wasn't meant to be. I feel even the games we have lost have been harsh and tight margins. We can turn that around and we will keep pushing. Saturday was a bit of a kick in the teeth and we just need to bounce back."
