| If the Dens board can come up with the finance, it’s understood their manager will attempt to make full-back Eddie Malone’s loan from St Mirren a permanent switch.
And there is also a chance the January transfer window could see versatile Motherwell defender Martyn Corrigan heading back to Dens Park.
Corrigan enjoyed a successful loan which ended after the win against St Johnstone early last month and attempts are being made to get him back for the second half of the season.
Hamilton have moved to strengthen their squad by adding Austrian Roman Wallner, Motherwell’s Simon Mensing and Gretna’s David Graham on loan, and the feeling is Dundee will have to make moves as well if they are to maintain pressure on the division leaders.
Today, the manager was keeping his cards close to his chest, but admitted to delight at already being able to extend Malone’s stay to the end of this month.
“He has done very well since he arrived and, along with the rest of the boys, had a good game at Dunfermline on Saturday,” he said.
“Martyn Corrigan did well when he was here, too, and, obviously with the transfer window not too far away, there are a few things we are looking at.”
And Alex did not hide his delight at what he believes was another huge win for his team.
“I said last week that Dunfermline would climb the table as the season went on and nothing I saw on Saturday has made me change my mind about that.
“They still have a strong squad and good players and I was very pleased with the way my players went about their business. In the first half, we matched them and, in the second half, put them under pressure. With a little bit of composure with the final ball, we might have been more comfortable than 1-0.” |
