DUNDEE manager Neil McCann revealed he consulted former Rangers colleagues Arthur Numan and Ronald de Boer about the signing of fellow dutchman Randy Wolters.
McCann is convinced the 27-year-old, who was involved in a punch-up with a De Graafschap fan last year during a violent pitch invasion, has the ‘nasty streak’ required to thrive in Scottish football.
McCann explained: “I’m really excited about signing Wolters. We have Danny Williams but we were lacking a competitive edge to get at players. We’ve added Roarie Deacon but Randy is different – he’s very, very direct.”
Meanwhile, Dundee have signed former Partick Thistle defender Jack Hendry from Wigan.
The 22-year-old made three appearances for Wigan after they bought him from Thistle in 2015 but he played more often in loan spells with Shrewsbury and MK Dons last year. Dundee announced the centre-back had signed a two-year contract.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
