Dundee FC trialists to make their shout for contracts

Dundee assistant manager Billy Dodds believes the Dark Blues trialists are going to make some noise at last now they’ve a game in which to impress.

Dodds and boss Gordon Chisholm will run the rule over six potential new faces in a closed-doors encounter with Hibs this afternoon.

The Dens Park number two is expecting to see the on-trial half-dozen make their case.

“Up until now the trialists have not said a word in training — they’re that focused,” he said.

“That tells you how seriously they are treating things. The only thing they’re interested in is getting contracts.

“I’ve never been on trial myself but I can understand the pressure involved because you’re there to impress.

“Hopefully that brings out the best in them.”
