Dundee have announced in their latest financial update that an unnamed private investor has injected a five-figure sum into the club.
The board also revealed that the percentage of player wages to turnover ratio was 43.3% well within recommended safe limits and confirmed there was no debt with HMRC, with all outstanding PAYE, NI and VAT liabilities up to date.
Recently-appointed Dens Park chief executive officer Scot Gardiner welcomed the investment and stressed the search for further cash input will continue.
He said: ”We’re delighted with this first piece of investment. It’s not a case of our work being done though and securing further investment is something we’re still working towards.”
Meanwhile, Dundee winger Nicky Riley has recovered from the hamstring injury which kept him sidelined for most of January.
But he looks likely to miss out again this weekend against Hamilton after being hit by illness.
Dark Blues boss Barry Smith said: ”Nicky was supposed to start training with us again this week but he’s not well. He’s not been able to do anything so when you consider the length of time he’s been out, he’s unlikely to be ready for Saturday.
”It’s a blow because he is a very good player but Jamie McCluskey has done well since coming into the side.”
