Gazza_8 233 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Defenders Danny Griffin and Gary MacKenzie have become Alex Rae's first signings as Dundee manager after agreeing two-year contracts. The 28-year-old Griffin, formerly of Dundee United, was with Aberdeen for the second half of the season after an injury-hit spell with Stockport County. MacKenzie, 20, has come through the youth system at Rangers. A delighted Rae told BBC Sport: "He's a winner and was desperate for a crack at first-team football." MacKenzie, a Scotland Under-19 international, impressed Rae during his two seasons with the Scottish Premier League club. And the manager predicted that MacKenzie would "terrify" a few strikers in his time at Dens Park. What injury problems? I've been fully fit since October last year and it's not an issue MacKenzie said: "I'm a physical defender and it's my job to stop strikers scoring. "I'm looking forward to playing alongside Bobby Mann. His experience will help me and I think we can complement each other's style of play." "I know Dundee are a big club and I want to play in the Premier League for them." I remember him playing alongside Boumsong once but other than that Eck didn't play him. Here's hoping he can do well at Dens Park for Alex Rae. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinogattuso 0 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 *yawn* saw him a few seasons back. Nothing special and to be honest never likely to ever step into our first team again so good luck to him. We've got bigger fish to fry. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
