All things Dundee FC

At the very least, we've not strengthened a direct rival, got a ridiculous amount of cash for a guy in his last year, mugged Hibs off and left them fuming and had time to plan to deal with this.

It's shite, but there's been worse deadline day dealings.

Have to doff my cap to the board on this one - could have easily buckled earlier in the window.

Totally agree. Given the length of contract it’s a fair deal.

Depending on the fee...other than staying its probably the best it could have gone. We've got a few players in advance of it rather than being f**ked as per previous seasons. Plus he's at celtic rather than a direct rival. Also fair play to him he's got there through hard work and regardless of how much he plays you can see why he goes especially if he supports them.

This is it.

Yes, he could've stayed and maybe we finish in a Euro spot and made the £1.5m from that and he just sails into the sunset...

Or

We could finish 10th with him still in the squad, (because lets face it, it's a tight league) lose out on £1.5m and not make £1.5m from Euro money potentially losing out on even more.

This way we are guaranteed his fee, plus we still have a talented enough squad to reach 3rd/4th.

Best of luck to him.

Or like O’Riley, McCowan could get  crippled tomorrow.
