Dundee boss Paul Hartley hints at Dens departures

Dundee boss Paul Hartley admits that there may be Dens departures during the January transfer window.

The manager did not divulge names of those who could be heading for the exit.

However, he did confirm that if he wants to bring players in, then current members of the Dark Blues squad may have to leave.

Hartley said: “I think it is difficult to bring good players in during January.

“I am not saying we are not going to bring anyone in but it is a difficult window.

“Will there be players going out? Possibly.

“Players that maybe need games, are unhappy or are not going to be playing or have not played.

“We need to look at that but we also have to balance the books.

“Some have to go out to bring one or two in.

“But the difficult thing is trying to get good ones.”
