Dens return for Torres?
With the new season just around the corner and a bulging injury list to contend with, Dundee could be about to turn to an old boy to help ease their predicament (writes Graeme Finnan).
Although manager Alex Rae wouldn’t confirm the player’s name, it’s believed Kiko Torres arrived at Dens today for a trial period.

The Spanish midfielder is no stranger to the club, having enjoyed a spell at Dens during Ivano Bonetti’s reign in charge of the Dark Blues.

Now 32, if things go well, Torres could land a contract, although it’s unlikely he’ll be on the team bus which heads for Dingwall for the league opener at Ross County on Saturday.

Today, the manager would only confirm there was a trialist at the club, although he did admit he may look to boost his squad ahead of the weekend.

“We do have a trialist in today, but, at this stage, I’m not naming him. But, given the current situation, we may look to bring in one or even two players before the weekend,” said Alex.

Currently receiving treatment for various injuries are Craig McKeown, Darren Young, Eddie Malone, Gary MacKenzie and Jim Lauchlan.
