Dundee this evening unveiled Paul Hartley as their new manager following the departure earlier this week of John Brown.
The former Hearts, Celtic and Scotland midfielder led Alloa to back-to-back promotions before deciding to leave Recreation Park last month.
Hartley, who has agreed a deal until summer 2016, takes over with Dundee second in the Championship, behind leaders Falkirk on goal difference, and one point ahead of a Hamilton Accies side who visit Dens Park on Saturday.
Director of Football Operations John Nelms said: "I’m delighted that we have managed to attract one of Scotland’s brightest up-and-coming managers to Dens Park - his dynamism and forward thinking fits perfectly into our plans for the club."
