Jordan McGhee has completed his move to Motherwell after his six years at Dundee came to an end.
Popular at Dens Park, McGhee played a key role in two promotions including the Championship title-winning season in 2023.
However, family reasons have seen him make the switch to Premiership rivals Motherwell where he has signed a two-year deal.
The Steelmen also have the option of a further year extension.

Sheffield Wednesday charged by EFL over failure to pay wages on time

June 4 (Reuters) - The English Football League (EFL) has charged Sheffield Wednesday with multiple breaches of regulations after the second-tier club failed to pay players' wages on time. The club had already been placed under registration embargoes in the last two seasons having received a six-point deduction during the 2020-21 season for breaching profit and sustainability rules. "The owner of Sheffield Wednesday, Dejphon Chansiri, has also been charged with causing the club to be in breach of EFL regulations despite his commitment to fund the cash requirements of the club," the EFL said in a statement on Tuesday. "All charges relate to both the Ultimate Beneficial Owner and the club failing to meet their obligations to pay players' wages on time and in full in March and May 2025." Thai businessman Chansiri, who took over Sheffield Wednesday in 2015, had acknowledged the charges and apologised to everyone connected with the club, the team said. "The club continue to seek a resolution regarding outstanding salaries due for the month of May at the earliest possible opportunity," it added. The club and Chansiri have 14 days to respond to the charges. Sheffield Wednesday finished 12th in the Championship in the recently-concluded season.

East Kilbride land St Johnstone in cup: Big scalps last season show we'll have no fear in Premier Sports clashes, says boss

Kilby will take on the likes of St Johnstone and Raith Rovers in their cup section next month East Kilbride boss Mick Kennedy says his side hold no fears going into the Premier Sports League Cup groups this summer after pulling off some cup scalps last season. Newly-promoted Kilby are still riding the crest of a wave after reaching the SPFL last month and they are now looking forward to their first matches as a League Two club after the draw for the League Cup was made last week. ‌ Kennedy's side have been drawn in Group F alongside top seeds St Johnstone, who were relegated to the Championship last season, Championship side Raith Rovers, League One Inverness Caley Thistle and League Two rivals Elgin City. ‌ EK defeated the likes of Championship sides Airdrie and Ayr United in the Challenge Cup last term, so Kennedy believes they can punch above their weight again. Reacting to the draw, which will see Kilby host Saints at K-Park on July 12, Kennedy said: 'I look forward to these occasions because it gives us a chance to test ourselves against some big teams. 'Nothing changes in terms of our style of play, so they are always interesting occasions. I'm looking forward to it. 'It's a really good group. There's three full-time clubs in there so it will be a big test, but we showed last season that we can compete with Championship clubs on our day. 'St Johnstone is a massive game to kick us off after getting into the SPFL. I know they had an unsuccessful season and had a new manager come in, but I have a lot of admiration for [boss] Simo Valakari in terms of how his side plays. 'He is trying to implement a possession-based style of play so I think that will make for a good game between us. 'We will go to try and win all the games and we'll certainly show no fear.' With East Kilbride being involved in the end of season play-offs last term, Kennedy says they will need to use the cup as pre-season. EK are due to play one friendly on Saturday, July 5 against an as yet unnamed opponent before the cup campaign gets underway. League Two will kick-off on August 2. Kennedy added: 'We will try and get one friendly in before the cup starts but that will be our pre-season. 'We need to use the competition as our pre-season because we finished a lot later than the SPFL teams and the boys needed their break.'

Dundee are regular foes for Airdrie, says skipper as he eyes cup games

Adam Frizzell joked that he's played against Dundee 'four times' in his time at the Diamonds Playing against Dundee is almost a regular occurrence for Airdrie, but skipper Adam Frizzell is looking forward to their Premier Sports Cup group stages in July. Airdrie came through their group stages last season with wins over East Kilbride, Dumbarton and Queen of the South, while losing at Aberdeen, and came up against a strong Dundee side in the quarter-finals, receiving a 6-1 hiding. ‌ Airdrie have met the Taysiders in the League Cup and Scottish Cup in recent seasons, and kick off their campaign at Dens Park on July 12, with Frizzell joking about how often that has happened. ‌ But Airdrie also have games at home to Bonnyrigg Rose on July 15, at Montrose seven days later, and end with a visit from Alloa on July 26. Frizzell reckons it's a good way to monitor summer progress. 'Dundee again is something,' said Frizzell. 'I think I've played against them four times since I've been at Airdrie, and we've not been in the same division, which is mad. 'I love that cup format, so I look forward to that group, and it's something we've done well in, over the last couple of years. 'We'll be looking to make the last-16 again. ‌ 'It's very difficult to get through the group, actually, when you look at the teams that miss out. You need to win a minimum of three games out of four. 'When you're playing a Premiership team in one of those games it's very difficult, but we've done well in the past, and I love that competition, so it will be one I'm looking forward to.' Frizzell added: 'It's a good way to gauge your progress, and it's better than playing in the pre-season games, in my opinion. I don't think you get much from them, other than a base fitness, and you want to get right into the competitive stuff. ‌ 'I used to hate the long-winded pre-season, when you've got six or eight games – when you feel you're fit, you're ready to go there and then. 'That's why I really enjoy that format, you're right into the competitive stuff, and it gives you a good gauge of where you're at, playing against different teams. 'We had a couple of games at the tail-end of last season. We played Ayr United in the last league game, we were in no-man's land, so were they, they were waiting on the play-offs at the right side of the table. 'It was getting players up to speed again, boys getting minutes, and that's the way you feel in pre-season. 'But with these cup games it gives you a real idea of where your starting XI is at, and it's competitive games, which is what you want to play in.'
