| The Dark Blues have allowed the Spanish midfield man, who had a spell at Dens during Ivano Bonetti’s reign, to leave the club.
“Kiko’s technique wasn’t in question, but I had a decision to make and we have other options we are pursuing,” said boss Alex Rae today.
Those “other options” are Chris Pozniak and Darren Williams, who impressed as trialists in the opening-day win against Ross County at Victoria Park.
The Dundee gaffer has agreed a deal in principle with Canadian international midfielder Pozniak, while negotiations are progressing with defender Williams.
However, even if those talks fail to reach a conclusion, Alex still has the option again of using both as trialists when Clyde visit Dens on Saturday.
Meanwhile, defender Craig McKeown is on the comeback trail.
The powerful centre-half played for 45 minutes last night as a Dark Blues side won 4-0 at junior outfit Violet.
And, although he won’t be rushed back into first-team action, his outing at Glenesk has given everyone at the club a boost.
“Craig did alright, but it’s clear he’s still a bit ring-rusty which is only to be expected at this stage,” said Alex.
“We’ll fix another game up for next midweek and he’ll get another run in that, but it’s great to see him back on the pitch and it’ll be good for him, too.” |
