Dundee United have signed former Scotland centre-back Lee Wilkie on a pay-as-you-play deal until the end of the season.
The 26-year-old will earn a longer-term stay if he stays fit and impresses during his time at Tannadice.
Wilkie had been released by Dundee at the end of last season and had attracted interest from a number of SPL clubs before opting stay close to home.
"It's a good move for me and the main thing at the moment is getting match-fit, but this is the best shape I have been in and I feel strong," Wilkie commented.
"I will not be ready to play against Celtic on Saturday and need a few more reserve games before I can think of the first team."
