Goalkeeper Steve Simonsen

Dundee have signed former Everton and Stoke goalkeeper Steve Simonsen.

The 33-year-old, who left Preston in January, has signed until the end of the season and is available for Sunday's Dundee derby.

John Brown has recruited Simonsen to provide competition for current number one Rab Douglas.

Dundee are currently bottom of the SPL table, trailing 11th-placed St Mirren by 14 points.

Simonsen made 17 appearances for League One Preston after moving to Deepdale on a free transfer in August 2012.

The former England U21 keeper also enjoyed spells at Everton, Stoke City and Sheffield United.

    Perhaps Douglas was too pro-Celtic for Le Bomber

    Rumour has it that Douglas has left Dundee after a bust-up with that nice chap, Bomber Broon

    Can't see Douglas getting dropped. It's goals Dundee need not a back-up keeper.

    Saw Douglas at Tynecastle this season. Hearts had 23 shots on target and he saved them all - including a penalty!

    "Competition for Douglas"???

    You mean BACK UP for Douglas surely - from what I have seen Rab has saved Dundee from some right doings this season.

    Good luck to dundee with simonsen. You are now assured to stay bottom of the league. Saw him when he played for Sheffield United. Never known someone so useless at crosses into the box. If you cant do the basics like that there is no wonder he has been released by us and preston. Cant believe he has made it as a professional keeper. He has been stealing a living

    Well I dont know anything about this new keeper but I am glad that Dundee have signed him because imo Rab Douglas is well past his best and should seriously consider hanging up his gloves.

    @1, I take it you've never seen Douglas play, he is woeful, that he is still playing in the SPL tells you all you need to know about this joke of a league.
