Tony Docherty has added a new goalkeeper to his squad
Dundee have signed Norwich goalkeeper Jon McCracken and Liverpool left-back Owen Beck on season-long loans.
Scot McCracken, 23, joined Norwich aged 16 but is yet to make a first team appearance for the Canaries.
Welshman Beck, 20, has played twice as a substitute for Liverpool.
"I am thrilled we've managed to land Owen for the season and I think it's fantastic for the club to be able to get somebody of his standard," manager Tony Docherty told the Dundee website.
"There was a lot of interest from other clubs and he could have joined some good English teams, but the fact that he chose us shows where the club is at the moment. He is a hugely talented player."
Adam Legzdins, 36 and Harrison Sharp, 22, are the other keepers in Tony Docherty's squad.
"It feels great, there has been a bit of interest for a while now, so I'm glad to get it done and to be here," McCracken told Dundee's website. "The gaffer said, 'you'll come in and fight for your jersey' and that was my mind made up."
Docherty added: "We are delighted to have him in the building, he is an extremely talented young goalkeeper from Norwich, who they rate very highly.
"He now just needs to get to that next stage in his career in terms of his development, so we are delighted to have him on board. He's a big character, a great personality and from what we've heard and seen of him we are very impressed.
"I've said to Jon he's in a fight for the jersey and that number one spot and that's what I want all over the squad that competition, because that healthy level of competition keeps everyone on their toes and improves the standard."
