Dundee moved swiftly to replace Neil McCann by appointing Jim McIntyre as their new manager.
McCann departed Dens Park on Tuesday night with the club bottom of the Ladbrokes Premiership having lost seven of their eight league games and having also suffered home defeats against both Dunfermline and Ayr in the Betfred Cup.
Around 24 hours later the Taysiders confirmed that former Ross County boss McIntyre had signed a one-year rolling contract and will meet the players on Thursday morning before taking training in preparation for the trip to Livingston on Saturday.
The 46-year-old won promotion to the top flight with Dunfermline in his first job in management in 2011.
After leaving East End Park he subsequently guided Queen of the South to a fourth-placed finish in the Championship.
McIntyre moved to Ross County in 2014 and led the Highland club to their first major trophy with a League Cup win in 2015/16 but had been out of work since leaving the Staggies in September
