Dundee's highly-rated teenage star Craig Wighton has joined the Club on loan.

Dee boss Paul Hartley cited the need for first team experience as a reason for the youngster coming to Glebe Park.

In a statement on the club's official website, he said: "This will stand him in good stead, it will be a great experience for him and he needs to go get first team football.

"He will come back a better player. It will do him the world of good at this point in his development to get more first team experience."

The 17-year-old has made seven appearances in the top flight with the Dark Blues, finding the net once in the 1-1 draw at home to Partick Thistle nearer the start of the season
