Pre-season
During preseason manager Jim McIntyre made two goalkeeper signings to bolster the squad. He signed Chris Smith,[1] after his excellent performance on loan from St Mirren, and Kyle Allison[2] as back up. Also signed are Ross County's Alex Keddie[3] and Pat Clarke[4] from Dundee. Pre-season results were awful including a 5-1 hammering by a Manchester United reserve squad.
