From Montreal to the Rock: The Canadian Takeover of Dumbarton
Scottish League Two side Dumbarton have entered a new era following the takeover by Canadian businessman Mario Lapointe. Today at the Dumbarton Football Stadium, Lapointe met the Scottish media for the first time, offering fans and observers an insightful glimpse into his plans for the club; plans firmly rooted in community values, financial responsibility, and long-term sustainability. A Journey from Canada to Dumbarton Lapointe’s story is a far cry from the typical football club owner narrative. Raised in a working-class family in rural Canada, the son of a mechanic and a cleaner, he made his fortune through hard work and entrepreneurial grit, starting his electronics business in 1996. His path to football ownership was shaped by a deep connection to Scotland, a passion for the sport, and a desire to invest in a club with genuine heritage and community spirit. Lapointe explained: “I looked at teams in Italy, Spain, Portugal, England, Scotland, and Ireland. “But what really struck me about Scotland, and Dumbarton in particular, is the passion, the community. Y “You see people here with six generations of family loyalty. That’s what I wanted to be part of.” Resilience and Community Lapointe praised Dumbarton’s resilience, noting the club’s rollercoaster history of ups and downs. But through every challenge, the community has remained its backbone. He said: “Dumbarton is not just a football club, it’s a family, a heritage, a legacy. “That’s why I kept coming back. This club has real value beyond just what happens on the pitch.” His vision focuses on preserving and enhancing that community connection while pushing the club forward in a sustainable way. Financial Matters Unlike some football investors who splash cash without long-term planning, Lapointe stressed his approach is both modest and measured. “I’m not looking to spend millions I don’t have. Before taking over, the club’s losses were around £200,000 a year.” His financial model is clear: “Cup money plus league money plus sponsors equals wages.” Without strong sponsor backing and a solid fan base, ambitions to climb the leagues won’t be realistic. He’s already impressed with the club’s strong base of around 420 season ticket holders, and he’s actively working to grow this number, launching initiatives like the ‘Pass It Along’ campaign, which has seen nearly 200 season tickets donated for youngsters by fans in Canada, the US, and even Laos. “That’s nearly 25% of season ticket holders buying extra tickets for kids,” Lapointe noted. “It’s about seeding a new generation of supporters.” More Than Just Football One of Lapointe’s key ambitions is to turn Dumbarton’s stadium into a community hub. With plans to host open mic nights, comedy, music events, weddings, and other non-football activities, the stadium will become a year-round destination. He said: “You can’t just rely on matchdays. The stadium needs to have life six or seven days a week. “That creates value for sponsors, brings in new revenue streams, and connects the club more deeply to the local community.” He also highlighted plans to install a new artificial turf pitch, which will increase the stadium’s usability and allow the club’s youth teams, women’s teams and unconnected local sides to use the ground on non-matchdays. Looking Ahead: Challenges and Opportunity Lapointe is realistic about the challenges ahead. The club must boost attendance, currently averaging around 600, representing just 3% of Dumbarton’s population. But his message to supporters is one of hope and action. He said: “Some people will jump on the train and help drive this forward. Others will stay behind. But this club is moving, with or without the dead weight.” This is a call for everyone in the Dumbarton community to get involved, support the club, and be part of a shared story of resilience, legacy, and progress. As the man himself said the club are only competing with their selves and growing a fanbase within their own community and area: “We’re not here to compete with Celtic and Rangers. “It’s not about that. We’re trying to compete with community, If you don’t seed, don’t expect to harvest anything.” Will he be a success, or the next in a line of foreign owners to not fully understand the strange world of Scottish football, the days are early, but the words are right from the self-described “crazy French-Canadian.”
Kilmarnock Season Preview: A New Era at Rugby Park
It’s been a summer of change at Rugby Park. With Derek McInnes departing just before the final game of the 2024–25 season, the scent of change has lingered in the Ayrshire air ever since. McInnes, who brought much-needed stability and kept Kilmarnock firmly in the Premiership, left behind a strong foundation, but one that had perhaps grown stale. A disappointing bottom-six finish last season highlighted the need for a refresh, and the club has responded decisively. Stepping into the dugout is Stuart Kettlewell, the former Ross County and Motherwell boss, who was confirmed as McInnes’s successor before the end of May. A Summer Clear-Out Kilmarnock wasted little time in moving players on. Ten first-team players, including familiar names Danny Armstrong, Joe Wright, Liam Donnelly, Fraser Murray, and club captain Kyle Vassell, were released at the end of their contracts. Highly rated striker Bobby Wales was also prised away by Swansea City, with the Welsh club paying a compensation fee to secure his signature. Such a major turnover reflects the end of a chapter and the beginning of a bold new era. Who’s In? Kilmarnock’s recruitment drive has been swift and targeted, with reinforcements arriving across the pitch. In defence, Jamie Brandon has joined from Livingston, bringing Premiership experience and a tenacious edge to the backline. George Stanger, who impressed at Ayr United, crosses the Ayrshire divide on a Bosman deal and adds further depth at the back. From Queen’s Park, Jack Thomson steps up to the Premiership, expected to fill the void left by Donnelly in midfield. Out wide, Scott Tiffoney arrives from Dundee to provide experience and energy, while Greg Kiltie returns home from St Mirren for an undisclosed fee, four years after departing the club he began his career with. The most eye-catching signing, at least in stature, is Marcus Dackers, a 6-foot-7 striker signed from Salford City to offer a physical presence up front to replace Vassell. While not known for prolific scoring, his hold-up play could be the perfect foil for quicker forwards. More signings are expected and must be carefully chosen to address key gaps if Killie are to push into the top six. Where Do They Still Need Reinforcements? Goalkeeper Starting from the back, Robbie McCrorie remains the club’s only senior goalkeeper following the departures of Kieran O’Hara and young Aidan Glavin. The former Rangers man had a mixed first season, glimpses of promise undone by injuries and inconsistency. Whether Kettlewell backs him as the outright No. 1 or brings in direct competition will be telling. If a backup is the plan, Jack Newman, who served in that role for Dundee United and Livingston, could be an ideal fit. For a more competitive move, Kettlewell may turn to Ross Laidlaw, his former keeper at Ross County, who may seek a top-flight return after County’s relegation. Defence The end of the loan spells for Calvin Ramsay and Stuart Findlay has left holes in the defence. While Brandon could fill Ramsay’s right-back slot, a commanding, experienced centre-half is needed to replace Findlay, who is now reunited with McInnes at Hearts. Lewis Mayo, Robbie Deas, and Corrie Ndaba are promising, Premiership-tested centre-backs, but all are just 25 and still developing into their mid-20s. Kettlewell may want a seasoned voice to lead the back line and provide stability. Ask former boss Steve Clarke, a strong defence has historically been the bedrock of success at Rugby Park. Midfield Thomson appears a like-for-like replacement for Donnelly, but the midfield still lacks depth and flair. Murray and Kyle Magennis both had productive spells, but both departees have yet to be replaced with a proven upgrade. Rumours recently have indicated that Magennis may extend his deal after failing to agree terms with Steven Pressley’s Dundee, but there has not been any confirmation on that either way. Expect at least one more addition in the middle of the park, ideally someone with creativity and a goal threat. The good news is that one-club man Rory McKenzie has agreed a one-year extension ahead of his testimonial match against rivals Ayr, and keeping hold of David Watson, one of the club’s brightest young talents, would be a significant boost. Wide Areas Replacing Armstrong’s productivity out wide won’t be easy. Even in a frustrating final season, he remained a threat. Tiffoney and Kiltie offer versatility and decent cover, but neither can be pencilled in as a guaranteed starter if Kilmarnock is serious about challenging for Europe. If Hibs fail to agree to renew the Canadian’s contract, Junior Hoilett could be a wildcard option. Another option might be Ross McCausland, a once highly rated Rangers prospect whose time at Ibrox appears to be winding down. Either would bring a directness vital in the Scottish market. Matty Kennedy, meanwhile, will need to stay fit and consistent. His influence as a ball-carrier and creator remains vital. Attack Dackers provides the physical presence that Vassell once offered, but the big Welshman is not a natural finisher. With Wales gone, the onus falls on Bruce Anderson and Marley Watkins to provide the goals. Anderson netted a respectable nine in the league last season, while Watkins’s productivity dipped significantly from his debut campaign. Both will need to hit the ground running. Could Kilmarnock look higher up the food chain for a striker? A move for Lawrence Shankland is almost certainly unrealistic, but he’s exactly the type of player Killie need to transform their attack. More realistic, if still ambitious, is Kevin Nisbet, out of favour at Millwall and available after a Scottish Cup-winning loan spell at Aberdeen. Finances are a concern, but his proven record in the league makes him worth the conversation. However, if Aberdeen call again, the allure of European football will surely lure him back to Pittodrie. Further afield, Ronan Hale might fancy a return to the top flight after relegation with Ross County. Another intriguing name is Mackenzie Kirk, who was relegated with St Johnstone and likely available at a reduced price. The Road Ahead Kilmarnock’s business
Dundee Face Toughest Start as Fixture Difficulty Ranked Across SPFL Clubs
An analysis of the 2025/26 Premiership openers reveals contrasting fortunes for the Dundee clubs — and how each team’s early schedule could shape their season. With the fixtures published last Friday, Dundee face the most challenging opening six games of the 2025/26 Premiership season, based on the average league position of their first six opponents from last season (5.33). In contrast, city rivals Dundee United have the easiest run (7.83), offering a smoother start to top-flight football. Dundee couldn’t have been handed a more challenging test as they look to improve on last season’s 10th-place finish under new manager Steven Pressley, who succeeded Tony Docherty in the summer. Their daunting schedule begins with Hibernian at Dens Park, followed by a trip to Ibrox to face Rangers. A fiery Dundee derby arrives early, also at home, and is sandwiched between a visit to Kilmarnock and a clash with Motherwell. They round off the run with an away trip to St Mirren — a real test for Pressley’s new era. On the flip side, the Tangerines kick off with a trip to fellow newly promoted side Falkirk, followed by a home double header against Hearts and Aberdeen. That leads into the eagerly anticipated derby at Dens Park, before an away day at Easter Road to face Hibs and a home tie against Kilmarnock to round out their first six fixtures. With Dundee facing the toughest start and Dundee United the easiest, our statisticians analysed all 12 SPFL clubs based on the average league position of their first six opponents from last season. Unlike a recent BBC Sport article using Opta’s Power Rankings, this approach is more straightforward — but the takeaway is the same: some clubs face far tougher openings. It’s worth noting this method does not account for home or away advantage, which can also shape early-season momentum. Aberdeen share the same opening fixture difficulty rating (7.83) as Jim Goodwin’s Dundee United. Despite a testing Matchday 2 meeting with Celtic at Pittodrie, they will likely back themselves for a strong start. At the other end of the scale, St Mirren and Livingston (6.17) aren’t far behind Dundee regarding fixture difficulty. Livingston, promoted via the play-offs against Ross County and St Mirren, faces challenging opening blocks, with Celtic and Rangers among their first six opponents. As for the Glasgow giants, Celtic face a trickier start (6.5) than Rangers (7.67). In Edinburgh, Hibs hope to build on last season’s momentum with a relatively favourable opening run (7.17), while city rivals Hearts have a slightly easier stretch (7.68). Falkirk and Motherwell sit mid-table in terms of difficulty (6.5), with Kilmarnock not far behind on 6.67 — potentially benefiting from a softer start on paper. As the 2025/26 Premiership kicks off on the weekend of 2nd August, it’s contrasting emotions on either side of Tannadice Street — with Dundee bracing for impact, and United looking to hit the ground running. Across the league, early momentum could be crucial in shaping the season ahead.
From Rangers to Johnstone Burgh: Kyle Lafferty rediscovers the soul of football as club raise over £500 for charity
“I’ve never felt a connection like it to the community. If there’s any problems on or off the pitch, the community is out in full force to help the club.” Kyle Lafferty has played for some of the biggest names in Scottish football: Rangers, Hearts, and Kilmarnock, as well as respected European clubs like Sion, Linfield, and Palermo. But now, at 37, he’s experiencing football at a different level: one that’s smaller in terms of publicity or monetary value, but richer in meaning. One at a level where the connection between players and supporters feels tighter, more genuine, and more fulfilling. Eyebrows were raised in the summer of 2023 when Lafferty, alongside former Rangers teammate Graham Dorrans, signed for then-seventh-tier Scottish side Johnstone Burgh. Many dismissed it as a publicity stunt or a marketing ploy. But nothing could be further from the truth. An 89-times capped Northern Ireland international, Lafferty has found a home at Keanie Park. His influence, both on and off the pitch, is clear. At the club’s Summer Fayre last Saturday, he could be seen walking the ground, chatting with fans, and posing for photos, embodying the spirit of a club deeply rooted in its community. Fresh off scoring the winning penalty in Johnstone Burgh’s 4–2 shootout victory over Tranent in the Scottish Junior Cup final, after a 1–1 draw in regular time, Lafferty and the club have taken that victory back to where it matters most: the community. The famous old trophy has been paraded through local businesses, schools, and care homes, allowing fans of all ages to share in the joy of the club’s first Junior Cup win since 1968. Despite a typically Scottish downpour on Saturday, the day following rays of Sunshine. The Burgh’s supporters made the most of it and still turned out in numbers, raising £500 for the Renfrewshire Food Bank and RAMH, two vital organisations supporting the area’s most vulnerable. Lafferty is proud to be part of a team that gives back. “Supporting the charities that we are today is really important, all of them are important,” he said. “You’ll find that mental health has been spoken about a lot more in recent years. The club is always behind any charity that comes knocking, and the players are right behind any cause that needs a hand.” Manager Murdo MacKinnon, the first man since Peter Donald to bring the Junior Cup back to the club, was equally passionate, insisting that the club’s greatest success isn’t silverware, but its connection with supporters and its role in the community. “This is the heartbeat of the community, and we want to make it just that,” MacKinnon said. “We want to do as much as we can. That was emphasised to me the minute I came through the door: this is about the community, and about everyone in it. “Today has been a great event, it’s fantastic, really well organised, and I’m delighted to be part of it. But it’s also something we do regularly. “We engage with partner charities; we engage with the community. We know that people face real challenges nowadays, and if we, as a club, can help with those challenges and give people somewhere they can come, feel part of something, and feel at home, then that’s what we’ll do. “We’ll always strive for that. It’s a major driver for our club. The community is at the heart of everything we do, and we won’t forget that.” One man who understands that bond better than most is Chairman Brian Williams. A lifelong Burgh supporter, he was overcome with emotion when his side lifted the cup. “I listened to the stories of ’64 and ’68 when we won it before,” he said with a huge grin. “But to actually experience that and bring it back for the people of Johnstone, the community is electric at the moment. “The community stepped up today. It was chucking it down with rain at 12, and some of the vendors didn’t stay. “But the people still turned up. It’s been a successful day for everyone who’s run the fayre.” Now competing in the West of Scotland Premier Division, Scottish football’s sixth tier, Johnstone Burgh is a club on the rise, on and off the pitch. They may boast a household name in Kyle Lafferty, but there are no egos here. Just a good, honest, community-rooted football club giving back to the people who stood by them through tough times. And now that success has returned to Keanie Park, they’ve made one thing clear: they haven’t forgotten who the real heartbeat of this club is—and who backed them when the club needed it most.
Bulloch and Hay confirm departure from Thistle WFC
Midfielder Amy Bulloch and winger Kodie Hay have confirmed that they have left Partick Thistle WFC. Bulloch, who joined the club in 2020 after spells with Motherwell and Hamilton, formed a key part of Brian Graham’s side. Hay meanwhile arrived in 2023, making over 50 appearances for the club, having played for Glasgow City, Celtic and Motherwell previously. They depart alongside Clare Docherty who announced her retirement at the end of the season with manager Brian Graham and assistant Ross Stormonth also leaving. David Elliot will take charge, after spending time coaching the side towards the end of the season.
Hearts announce Stuart Findlay loan signing
Heart of Midlothian have confirmed the signing of Oxford United defender Stuart Findlay on a season long loan. Findlay, 29, will be reunited with boss Derek McInnes, under whom he spent last season at Kilmarnock. Speaking to the Official Hearts Website, McInnes said: “Stuart is obviously someone I know very well from the years we’ve previously spent working together. “I know his attributes and every aspect of his game. He’s a domineering defender, strong and athletic, and he is a real leader on and off the pitch. “I’m delighted to have him here at Hearts.” The defender, who earned his solitary Scotland cap in the 6-0 win over San Marino in 2019 during which he scored a goal, joins a plethora of new signings with Christian Borchgrevink, Alexandros Kyziridis, Elton Kabangu, Oisin McEntee and Claudio Braga having all arrived at the club on a permanent basis.
Lessons from the Past: What Falkirk Must Learn to Survive the Premiership
Falkirk are back in the Scottish Premiership for the first time in 15 years following their title winning Championship season last time out, completing back-to-back promotions from the third tier to the first, but are they ready for their return to the top table? Back-to-back promotions in football are rare, and Falkirk’s rise is a remarkable achievement, but they can present serious structural and sporting challenges, often teams have an imbalanced squad with players reliable at different levels littered throughout the team; many out of their depth due to the team having no time to gel at a level. Two rapid promotions don’t allow a club to gradually evolve its playing style or recruitment strategy. Instead, you’re constantly in firefighting mode, plugging gaps rather than building for sustainability. Take Ipswich Town in last season’s English Premier League for example, they won promotion to the topflight a year after promotion into the Championship but were immediately relegated with a whimper. The Tractor Boys had players ready for the league like Liam Delap and Sammie Szmodics, but regularly still featured players from their League One days such as Cameron Burgess and Sam Morsy. Falkirk cannot afford to be as sentimental with their squad planning if they hope to survive. January recruit Scott Arfield and summer arrival Scott Bain are good starts, solid Premiership players with plenty of top-level games under their belts, both with league winners medals but will the likes of Calvin Miller and Sean Mackie be able to step up, having previously dropped from that level to League One previously? They excelled in the last step up, but this is a different level altogether. An issue in England are that players suited to the direct, physical style of lower leagues may struggle in a more technical, faster-paced Premier League, but fortunately for Falkirk the gap is not as wide technically North of the border. Within Scottish football there have been two modern examples of teams entering the Premiership after two successive title wins, to opposite levels of success; Gretna in 2007 and Livingston in 2018. Gretna’s meteoric rise through the leagues remains one of the most surreal chapters in modern Scottish football. Bankrolled by Brooks Mileson, they surged from the Third Division to the Premiership in just three years. But their fairytale was built on sand. Ill-prepared both financially and structurally for the topflight, they were relegated after winning just five matches and collapsed entirely shortly after. A warning from history, if ever there was one. However, the Bairns possess things that Gretna did not, a loyal, sustainable fanbase, and they live within their means, no sugar daddy philanthropist owner who could disappear at any moment. Livingston, by contrast, provide a more encouraging blueprint. Their back-to-back promotions under David Hopkin culminated in an immediate impact in the Premiership under his successor and still incumbent gaffer David Martindale. Pragmatic, aggressive, and tactically coherent, they didn’t try to play like a top-six side, they played to survive, and eventually, for a period, became one of the toughest teams to beat during their last stint in the league. Smart recruitment and a strong home record on their unique artificial surface were key pillars. In short, they adapted rather than aspired to outplay the opposition. Falkirk will need to follow Livingston’s lead more than Gretna’s dream. Manager John McGlynn, an experienced hand at Championship level, faces his biggest challenge yet. His teams tend to favour possession and control, but he may need to adjust tactically to grind out results against vastly superior opposition. Stylistic stubbornness, especially early on, could prove fatal, something new Rangers boss Russell Martin discovered during his time in the English Premiership with Southampton last season. Another critical factor will be squad depth. Injuries are inevitable, and a team light on Premiership-quality options beyond the starting XI will be punished. The spine looks promising, options of Nicky Hogarth and Bain in goal, Arfield in midfield, and Brad Spencer continuing to blossom, but outside of that, there are still major question marks. Is Gary Oliver ready to lead the line against Premiership centre-halves? Can Ross MacIver control games at this level, or will he be overrun? Falkirk’s support will travel in numbers and with noise, there’s no question this is a club with top-flight infrastructure and fanbase, but sentiment doesn’t keep you up. Realism, ruthlessness, and rapid adaptation do. If they can avoid early heartache and find a system that maximises their strengths without exposing their flaws, there’s a chance. But survival won’t be romantic. It’ll be gritty, ugly, and week-to-week, something Livingston and Martindale, who join them in the top flight after they play off victory over Ross County have experienced before. Falkirk are back. But the real battle starts now.
Hearts announce signing of Portuguese forward Claudio Braga
Heart of Midlothian confirmed the purchase of Braga, 25, from Norwegian club Aalesunds FK for an undisclosed fee. The player departs the Scandinavian side eight games into the OBOS-ligaen season, the country’s second tier, having scored three goals. Braga, who managed 9 in 29 appearances during the previous league campaign, can also play as both a left-winger and attacking midfielder. Derek McInnes, speaking to the Official Hearts Website said: “Claudio was one of our top targets so to be able to bring him in is fantastic. “What’s impressed me in my conversations with Claudio is his attitude and his determination to improve as a player and improve the team. “There is great potential there but also exceptional ability. He is a technically gifted player, he’s got a goalscoring pedigree but is also versatile and can play across the front. “This is an exciting signing and I have to thank the club for giving us the backing to make this deal happen, and I’m very much looking forward to welcoming Claudio to Hearts when we return for pre-season.”
New Dee boss Pressley introduced
Dundee presented new manager Steven Pressley to the media today at the club’s training centre in Gardyne. Appointed as Tony Docherty’s replacement 10 days ago following the former Aberdeen assistant’s dismissal, Pressley cut short a holiday celebrating his silver wedding anniversary to begin his new role, demonstrating his commitment from the outset. He was joined by new Technical Manager David Longwell, who was appointed on the same day. Pressley, who’s position as manager has been heavily criticised by the Dundee support, walked into today’s presser with the calm assurance of a man ready for a fresh challenge, and perhaps, something to prove. The former Dundee United player has now crossed a second derby divide in Scotland, having previously played for both Rangers and Celtic during his career. He will once again be working under Technical Director Gordon Strachan, who managed him during his time at Celtic Park. After five years out of management, his last role being at Carlisle United in November 2019, Pressley has been serving as Head of Individual Development at English Premier League side Brentford since May 2021. He explained why now felt like the right time to return to frontline management. He said: “I think it was just right. I’d done my four years. This was always a juncture in my career, I’ve finished my university degree, my daughter has finished school, and I always had intentions to sell my house this summer. “I’d chosen to leave the role at Brentford to look for other opportunities, and this one arose. “Once I spoke to the club, I just felt it was right, I think it’s a club with really good potential.” While no additions to the coaching team have been confirmed yet, Pressley said he was still “undecided” on who would be assisting him at Dens Park this season. He said: “If you look at my history, my long-term assistant was Neil MacFarlane. Neil is also at Brentford, heading up the B team, and he’s equally at a juncture in his career where his next step might not be as an assistant coach, but as a manager. “The important thing for me is that I’ve got a clear idea of how I want the role to function and the skill set required from the individual. “I’m going to take my time, because I want someone who not only brings those skills, but who will also come in and challenge things, helping the club to grow.” Pressley will be assisted in the meantime by Longwell and Scott Paterson, who remains in his role as First Team Coach.
Pressley Sets Out Dundee Vision as Transfer Window Looms
New Dundee manager Steven Pressley was introduced to the media today at the club’s training ground in Gardyne, giving the former Dundee United defender his first opportunity to address both the press and a support that has been mixed in its response to his appointment. With the transfer window, and the inevitable merry-go-round of ins and outs, set to begin on Monday, Pressley was asked about his thoughts on the current squad and his plans for recruitment this summer. He was also quizzed on the club’s ability to retain key players, most notably Josh Mulligan, who has recently been linked with a move to Rangers. When asked whether he hoped to tie Mulligan down to a new contract, Pressley said he would “love to,” but was quick to admit it would be “easier said than done.” On his existing squad, he said: “We’d love to keep certain personnel. There are several players I think are pivotal to moving this club in the right direction, and we’ll be working tirelessly to do so.” Discussions around summer recruitment are already under way, with Pressley outlining the club’s aims and the type of player they’re targeting. He said: “It’s a very important aspect, and we’re aware that we need to bring players in, but most importantly, we need to bring the right players in. “We have to find a balance between getting them in now and getting the right player in. “We’ll be working hard on that, and there’ll be clear processes in place to achieve it.” No specific names were mentioned, but with his son, Arron, currently playing in England for Stevenage, Pressley was asked whether a family reunion could be on the cards, having previously worked with his son during their time together at Brentford. “I don’t know if he’d want to play for his dad, to be honest!” Pressley joked. “I’ll obviously assess the situation regarding a number of players. “I was involved in the development of quite a lot of young players at Brentford and was fortunate enough to build some strong relationships. “We’ll certainly look at it, but there are no guarantees. “We won’t bring players in just because of my connection, we’ll have to go through the proper process and make sure they’re the right players for Dundee.”
