It was perhaps unexpected, then, to peer between the fingers this week only to see Brown ushering Rab Douglas out of his team for the city derby with United with all the care of a nurse wearing protective gloves. The experienced goalkeeper will be able to leave his at home tomorrow, a thigh injury causing him to be replaced by Steve Simonsen, the former England under-21 player, who agreed a short-term contract on Thursday.
It was a decision which had to be made since Douglas was unable to take goal kicks during last week's draw with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, although there had also been a suggestion that the veteran goalkeeper had fallen out with his manager after a drop in form. Brown's reputation meant that assertion was readily accepted but he felt inclined to respond gruffly; the coach referring to Douglas as a "Dundee legend" and insisting that "I don't want anyone tainting that". Heavens no.
What is not up for dispute is that Dundee's delicate hopes of avoiding relegation are now in the hands of Simonsen. The former Preston North End goalkeeper has arrived at Dens Park with the club 14 points adrift at the foot of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League and he has been allowed little opportunity to ease into such troubled waters, with his debut to be made against United tomorrow afternoon.
"Rab has been restricted by not being able to take back-passes and couldn't take goal-kicks, so could only throw the ball. I had to address that and bring in a goalkeeper for the sake of Dundee by going into this weekend's game," said Brown, whose side have lost all three competitive derbies this season. "So I've done that. Rab Douglas has been outstanding and we've picked up four points in the last two games since he's been injured. He's a big part of this football club. For everything that's been said out there, Rab is a big part of this club from now and into the future.
"I've brought in another keeper because of the injury situation. I've got to take a team to Tannadice and try to win a game which Dundee haven't won in a number of years to get three points to help us survive in this division."
