Former Dundee striker Alan Cousin has died at the age of 78, the club has announced.
Cousin spent 11 years at Dens Park and scored 19 goals as the club won the Scottish League title in 1962 under Bob Shankly.
He made 384 appearances for the Dark Blues, scoring 141 goals, and was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame in 2011.
He also played in Dundee's run to the semi-finals of the European Cup where they missed out on the final at Wembley following a second leg defeat to AC Milan.
Cousin scored in the away leg in a 5-1 loss against Milan, becoming the first British player to score at the San Siro.
He then helped the club reach the Scottish Cup final in 1964 where they lost 3-1 to Rangers, but followed Shankly to Hibernian the following year for a fee of £15,000.
Cousin spent four years at Hibs ahead of a move to Falkirk where he retired in 1970.
