Stevie Farrell said towering forward Russell McLean was his number one January target after securing a deal for the Peterhead striker.
McLean hit 15 goals for the League One side last season –including four in three games against Dumbarton – before injury ended his season in April.
Having played just twice in the last eight months, Farrell admits it will take the 6’5 frontman time to get up to speed – but has backed him to be a key player for the Sons as they challenge Stirling Albion for the League Two title.
