Dundee have dropped their interest in one central defensive target and it’s now not certain the other will be making his Dens stay permanent. George Santos has been told he isn’t what was required, but the surprise today was that Jim Lauchlan had not put pen to paper on a deal.
Lauchlan remains on trial and could feature in Sunday’s Dens friendly against Wolves. There were no injury worries from Tuesday’s draw against Aberdeen and longer term injury victims Darren Young and Craig McKeown are making progress, though neither are nearing a return just yet. Dundee will have more trialists for the Wolves game.
