He's 28 according to Wikipedia. He's been with Dundee since school with loan periods at Peterhead and ICT. Sounds more like a Raith/Pars/Falkirk signing to me. Also sounds like a Craig Levein signing.
I seem to remember an interview with Gordon Smith where he stated McVie was the only player who ever spat on him during a game and then referred to him using the same word you did.
Think I recall hearing about the alleged perpetrator being someone with learning difficulties but I could be talking shite as I'm on holiday at the moment and having sobriety difficulties.
