RYAN McGowan could be on his way to Dundee, the Telegraph & Argus understands.

The Australian defender is believed to be keen on a move back to Scotland for family reasons.

And Dundee are hoping to sign the 29-year-old, who has previously played for Hearts and Dundee United.

McGowan, whose City contract is up at the end of the season, has made 25 appearances this season. But he was not in the squad for last night’s 4-3 win over Shrewsbury.
