Dundee manager Tony Docherty was coy on the future of Hibs target Luke McCowan heading into the final week of the transfer window.

The 26-year-old Dens Park captain played 90 minutes in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Easter Road, but Docherty seemed unsure as to whether he would remain a Dundee player beyond next week. Hibs have had two offers for the midfielder knocked back, with a third understood to still be under consideration by the Dark Blues' hierarchy. McCowan has been linked with Premiership champions Celtic and is of interest to Bolton Wanderers, who also saw a bid rejected earlier in the window.

Asked if he was confident he could keep his skipper on Tayside, Docherty replied:  "We’ll see, like all players there is a good level of performance and if you get players performing at that level you are going to attract suitors. We’ll see what happens in the next week, he is a brilliant boy but there are a lot of good players in that dressing room.

"Hopefully I can add some more, I don’t want to put numbers on it but hopefully a few because we are a wee bit short in terms of numbers on the bench but I’ve got such a strong squad that I’m only going to add what will complement and supplement a really strong squad."

Dundee led through Scott Tiffoney's early goal before strikes from Martin Boyle and Kieron Bowie turned the game on its head. Hibs looked set for a first three points of the league campaign before Simon Murray in the 89th minute to ensure a share of the spoils. And Docherty says despite the joy of a late leveller, with Dundee fans spilling onto the pitch to celebrate, his feels his side could have taken maximum points.

Mixed emotions because the way we started, we were outstanding and we were in such control," he said. "We went 1-0 up and then could have had the second, which I've not seen back, but I felt we were dominant and you could hear the way the stadium was, which is exactly what we'd worked towards. But then we just switched off a little bit and allowed them to get back into the game.

"I was disappointed going in 1-1 at the break because on balance of play we were way ahead and should have gone in a couple of goals to the good. Second half, credit to Hibs, they came out, made a few changes and asked a lot of questions of us. They got their second goal, which was cheap from us, but I cannot ignore the mentality and spirit of my players to go from 2-1 down at a difficult venue and get back to 2-2 and keep our unbeaten run going.

"The support saw a team there giving absolutely everything, and I thought we could have gone on and nicked it at the end. I'm a bit disappointed with a point but on reflection, if you win your home games and get a point away from home you'll not be far away."
