In-demand Dundee star Luke Graham insists he isn't interested in the growing transfer frenzy surrounding him because he only cares about keeping the Dens Park club safe.
The Scotland Under 21s star was named Man of the Match in last week's goalless draw against the Czechs, but was unable to help the young Scots from slumping to a 3-0 defeat in Estoril against Portugal this week.
Dundee boss Steven Pressley announced he expects plenty of interest in the 22-year-old, with Rangers linked this week with a summer move, after monitoring him in recent games.
He said: "I’m not surprised teams are watching him and I would expect more to do the same over the remainder of the season.
"He’s been performing at a really high level for some time now and obviously he’s enhancing that with his Under 21s performances."
However, Graham is taking the speculation in his stride.
And he insists he's only interested in trying to keep Dundee safe from the drop, starting with their massive game against Celtic this weekend, as they attempt to land a Dens Park double on the champions, having already defeated them in October at home.
Graham said: "I just block all of that out.
"I don't really want anything to do with that side of things when I am in mid-season with Dundee. All I will be doing is just ensuring I focus on my own game.
For me personally, it's been an amazing season. The manager has put a lot of trust in me this season and I have tried to repay him for that.
"It's nice to get some recognition from the manager, but all I can really do is just focus on myself and keep doing as well as I can for the team.
"We obviously struggled at the start of the season, but we have really picked up recently and we need to keep trying to put as much distance between ourselves and 11th place as possible.
"We beat Celtic 2-0 earlier on in the season so it's about trying to match that performance and try to do it again."

Graham has established himself as a key man in Scot Gemmill's squad and hes been tipped to play for the senior team in the future.
Scotland have two games remaining in their Euro 2027 qualifying group and realistically need to beat Azerbaijan at home and Bulgaria away later this year to be in with a shout of reaching the play-offs.
And despite a harsh lesson on Tuesday night against a talented Portuguese side, Graham is convinced he has learned plenty.
He said: "The game in Portugal was a really good experience although I wasn't used to playing in the heat compared to being back in Scotland!
"It was frustrating for us although they are a really good side.
"They obviously did deserve to win in the end.
"But we did manage to create a few chances and maybe on another day if we had taken a couple we could have made them a wee bit nervous.
"I am definitely learning and coming away with the 21s is a learning environment for me because I am playing against a different style of players.
"You just have to try and focus on your own game and ignore some of the names they have got in their squad.
"We have two tough games left and we will probably have to win them both.
"We know in that dressing room we have the players who can win them. But yes, we do need to get the six points.
"I really enjoy playing with Jeremiah Mullen at the back. He's having a really good season at Dunfermline and we complement each other.
"We both like to take the ball out from the back and we have a good understanding."
