Pen to paper because we're all on same page

Doc eager for more success after signing new deal at Dens

- SCOTT BURNS

TONY DOCHERTY put pen to paper on a new contract then vowed to show that Dundee's top-six finish wasn't "a flash in the pan".

The Dens Park boss was appointed last summer and has been rewarded with an improved deal after guiding the Dark Blues to a top-half finish in their first season back in the Premiership.

Docherty has already started to rebuild for the new campaign, bringing in former loan keeper Jon McCracken on a permanent basis as well as Clark Robertson and Seb Holden-Palmer on loan from Bristol City.

The gaffer said: "Everybody at the club is on the same page we all want to improve, develop and be better than we were before.
