The youngest player of the decade is Craig Wighton who made his debut against Cowdenbeath at the age of 16 years and 2 months. He would go on the become the youngest scorer in the club’s history with a head against Raith Rovers at Dens.
A current member of the Dundee coaching staff has the honour of being the oldest player of the decade. Robert Geddes took up a place on the bench as the team took on Raith Rovers in April 2010 with no intention of being involved. However, injury to goalkeeper Tony Bullock saw Bobby return to the pitch as a substitute at the age of 49 years and 8 months.
