Crystal Palace goalkeeper Owen Goodman has joined Dundee on a season-long loan on his return from the World Cup with Canada. Jon McCracken, last season's first choice, left Dundee for Bradford City this summer and Goodman has been brought in to challenge Kieran O'Hara for the number one jersey.
Tottenham have confirmed that full-back Andy Robertson will wear number three during his time at the club. This is common for left-backs but it is not the Scotland international's go-to number; at his past three clubs (Liverpool, Hull City and Dundee United), Robertson opted to wear number 26.
Kilmarnock midfielder Aaron Tshibola has vowed to "pick up where I left off" after returning "home" by signing a new one-year contract with the Scottish Premiership club. The former Aston Villa 31-year-old, who was part of DR Congo's World Cup squad this summer, spent the second half of last season with Neil McCann's side. After playing a key role as they avoided relegation with a fine run at the end of the season, Tshibola has effectively started a fourth spell at Rugby Park, having first joined in 2018 under Steve Clarke.
Manager Steven Pressley was "happy with the exercise" despite Dundee losing 4-0 at home to Everton in Saturday's friendly at Dens Park. Pressley's Scottish Premiership side trailed 1-0 at the break and lost three more goals to the Premier League outfit in the second period. "It was very important and we got some really good minutes into the likes of Zan Besir," Pressley told club media.
