Charlie Mulgrew has joined Dundee Utd.

The former Celtic defender recently left Blackburn Rovers and new Arabs boss Tam Courts moved quickly to secure his signature.

Mulgrew - a 44-capped Scotland ace - penned a two-year deal at Tannadice having played for the club as a youngster.

"I’m excited to have a player of Charlie’s winning pedigree available to me for the next two years," said Courts. "I believe that he joins an existing group of senior players who already give everything to make Dundee United better on the pitch.

"Charlie is renowned for his leadership and impact on young players which is something that will be valuable in their development."
