Jon McCracken says his decision to sign permanently with Dundee was ‘easy’. The ex-Norwich City keeper has returned to Dens Park on a two-year deal after a pair of successful loan spells with the club last season. He joked his third time putting pen to paper inside a year with the Dark Blues may be a football first.

And the 24-year-old, who will wear the number one shirt this coming season while battling with Trevor Carson for a starting role, is relishing the challenge of replicating last term’s top six finish.

McCracken stated: “It’s nice to be back.

“It’s my third signing in a year, which must be a record, but I’m thrilled to commit to the club as they have committed to me.

“At the end of the season, it didn’t feel like I was saying goodbye; we had already had preliminary discussions about my return, and when I sat down and spoke with the manager about it, my decision was set.

“In the end, it was a relatively simple decision.

“To be part of the team that finished in the top six was fantastic and I’ve seen the ambition the club has and I want to be part of that.”
