Dundee FC, a stalwart of Scottish football, claims its inception in 1893, settling into Dens Park as their home turf. Set in the chill of Scotland, this locale has birthed numerous triumphs and tribulations for the team over the years.
Today, the Dundee squadron holds an approximate market value of around £5m, a figure not to be sniffed at. This understanding comes from the diligent football statisticians at Transfermarkt. A solid number for a club of Dundee's standing.
The Dees currently boast of a unit of 18 players, the crux of whom are, on average, in their 25th year. A ripe age for footballers, straddling the fine line between youthful vigour and experienced calm.
Keeping their irons in multiple fires, this season has seen Dundee juggle responsibilities in two competitions. They ride mid-wave in the Premiership, slotted into the 9th spot and have managed to leave their mark in Group C of the League Cup.
