“We are trying to take the club to the next level and I think this signing will help us to do that,” said MacKinnon.

“He is a well-known figure in Scottish football and has had other clubs— including from the SPL— interested in him.

Former Gretna captain Chris Innes has agreed terms with Dundee but a last minute personal hitch meant that the defender has not yet signed for the Dark Blues. The club hope that a deal can be completed later in the week. Chief Executive Dave MacKinnon said "We've agreed terms and seem to have ticked all the boxes, but something came up at the last minute and it will be later in the week before we know for definite whether Chris will be coming here.

Former Dundee keeper Rab' Douglas was at Dens too this evening, he's under contract to Leicester City until 31st of July and has asked Dundee for training facilities which the club were happy to agree to - Rab' will be involved in pre-season training with the Dark Blues

Kevin McDonald signed for Burnley this afternoon and the Scotland Under 21 star heads for the English Championship for a fee in the region of half a million pounds with our best wishes after extending his contract at the start of the year to ensure Dundee got a decent fee for him.


McDonald made his debut for Dundee at the tender age of 16 in a Challenge Cup match at Hamilton in September 2005 and made his league debut the following Saturday against St Johnstone, a fortnight later he made his first start in an away win at Brechin City. The first of 16 goals in Dundee’s colours came in a 4-0 win over St Mirren at Dens in December of that year.
