Former Celtic striker Gerry Creaney has joined Dundee as their Head of Youth Development.
Creaney started his career with Celtic where he played over 100 times before moving south to join Portsmouth in 1994.
An impressive two-year spell at Pompey saw him move to Manchester City in a deal worth over £1million.
But injury and lack of form plagued his time at Maine Road and he returned north to join St Mirren permanently in 1998 before spells with Notts County, Raith, Queen of the South and finished his career at Clydebank in 2000.
He gained all his coaching licences through the Scottish Football Association when assistant manager with Bellshill Athletic.
Managing director John Nelms said: "He possesses all of the attributes needed for a modern day Head of Youth.
"From the craft knowledge of the football side to the minute detail of the admin side, I believe his skills are congruent with the culture we've established here and will help us achieve the high level development program we've outlined in our long term plan."
