McPake just stopped short of saying, 'No DABs at Dens' in this morning's edition of The Courier.
'He was a name that was put to us (Danny Swanson) and a player obviously that Dave Mackay knows very well, but at the minute, he's not one we're pursuing. Any name put to us, we look into but it never got anywhere. I wish him well wherever he ends up but it won't be at Dens.'
He's also absolutely savage about Tom Field. He's saying that the club knows how to treat people and that he doesn't expect anything less from Nelms & Keyes then goes onto say that if things were normal they'd all be handed new contracts. He then speaks about McGowan & Meekings and goes, 'Speaking about those two, absolutely delighted to keep them on'. With zero mention of Field, the only other out of contract senior player.
