Bobby Cox and Alan Gordon..

Former Dundee captain Bobby Cox has died at the age of 76. Cox captained Dundee to the league title in 1962 and guided the team to European Cup victories against Cologne, Sporting Lisbon and Anderlecht. A lifelong supporter of the club, he retired in 1969 after 14 years at Dens Park, although he continued in a hospitality role at the stadium. A minute's applause was held as a mark of respect before Saturday's home win over Partick Thistle.
