Mark McGhee has revealed his Dundee players have thrown down the gauntlet for him to take off his clothes if they beat St Johnstone.
McGhee’s dressing room challenge to go naked for a week is the latest instalment in a bizarre few days at Dens Park.

“Some people might understand what I was trying to do and other people think it’s funny,” he said.
