Dundee director Eddie Devlin is to resign from the club’s board.
He has stepped down from his position within the Dundee FC Supporters’ Society but will remain on the main board at Dens Park until a permanent replacement is found.
A statement released by the supporters’ society on behalf of Mr Devlin read: “With regret, I am announcing my resignation from the Supporters’ Society board with immediate effect, due to an on-going family health matter.
“I also intend to resign from the main board of Dundee FC but have agreed at the Society Board’s request to remain temporarily until a successor has been appointed.
“I have supported the club for nearly sixty years and the proudest moment for me was being appointed a main board director.
“Our club is going through tough challenges at this time, and needs board members to be 100% focused on making the right decisions for the longer term.
“I am confident that a restructured board and improved interface between club, society, and fans is the correct step forward, and wish the club, society and fans the best fortune for the future.”
