Dundee have offered club captain Joe Shaughnessy a new contract at Dens Park.
The 32-year-old’s current deal runs out this month.
The Irishman played a key role in the Dark Blues securing Premiership survival last season after returning from long-term injury.
Shaughnessy missed the majority of the campaign, only returning to league action at the end of February.
However, with Dundee’s defensive woes putting their top-flight status at risk the return of a leader at the back in the shape of Shaughnessy was a big boost.

Now with the management team of head coach Steven Pressley and David Longwell in place work is underway to rebuild the playing squad at Dens Park.
A big part of that is ensuring the club captain sticks around and the Dark Blues are hopeful an agreement over an extension to his original two-year deal will be reached in the coming days.
Dundee are also in talks with two other out-of-contract stars.
