Dundee have confirmed the permanent signing of Paul McMullan after a ‘phenomenal’ five-month loan from city rivals Dundee United.
McMullan has penned a two-year deal with newly promoted Dark Blues after 13 assists in 19 Championship matches during a five-month loan spell last season.
His outstanding displays earned James McPake’s side promotion to the Scottish Premiership after a play-off win over Kilmarnock.

Dundee originally announced the loan signing of McMullan with a hilarious parody of Danny Dyer’s Football Factories.
The tweet, where Dyer shows how close Dens Park is to Tannadice, went viral viewed more than 277k times.
And they made reference to that video again in a tweet to announce the one-time Celtic youngster’s move.
