Wolves boss Mick McCarthy is happy with his side's efforts during their pre-season programme so far.

Wolves are currently on a tour of Scotland and beat Dundee 1-0 on Saturday with Sylvan Ebanks-Blake getting the only goal of the game.

"They've been terrific both in the friendly matches and on the training pitches as well," McCarthy said.

"Results aren't the be all and end all but I'm pleased with the way it's going overall," he told the Wolves website.

McCarthy also explained the absence of defender Rob Edwards from the tour.

"Rob took a knock on his ankle in the game at Chasetown on Friday evening.

"He has only just recovered from an injury on the same joint and so we felt it best for him to remain behind and get treatment at Compton Park."

Wolves continue their tour with a game against Motherwell on Tuesday.
