He’s been with them in Northern Ireland this week and played for an hour against Lisburn Distillery on Tuesday.

He was due to fly back with the Perth men today, but Dundee booked a flight for him last night so he could train with his new team-mates this morning.

And that’s put him in line for a run out against the Gable Endies.

“He’s fit enough to play and he’s definitely in the squad for tomorrow and has a good chance of being involved,” said boss Gordon Chisholm.

Adams is no stranger to Chis, having played under him during a couple of loan spell at Queen of the South over the last three years.

He’s set to be the only new face on the park, though midweek trialist Rhys Weston will be watching from the stand and indications remain strong that he’ll be fixed up on a contract next week.

And discussions with Blackburn Rovers over Northern Irishman Johnny Flynn are also still a work in progress.

Those possible deals have been put on the back burner until tomorrow’s tie has been taken care of and, after needing two goals in the final four minutes to better Alloa in the Challenge Cup last week, Chis is taking nothing for granted.

“It’s another game where it’s going to be all about how we approach it.

“If we go about things the right way we can win, but if our heads are not right it will be a struggle.

“With Montrose, there are a lot of boys who are from this area or have been with Dundee, so that will add something extra.”

Mickael Antoine-Curier, who returned home to France after his father suffered a stroke, is likely to be back at Dens early next week.
