Dundee United complete Billy McKay loan capture

Dundee United have signed Billy McKay on loan from Wigan Athletic.

The former Inverness Caledonian Thistle striker has joined the Terrors on a season-long deal after struggling to hold down first-team football in England.

"Dundee United can confirm, subject to international clearance, the loan signing of striker Billy McKay from Wigan Athletic," said the Scottish club in a statement.

"Billy will wear the number seven jersey throughout season 2015-16 and should be part of Jackie McNamara's squad for the trip to Dingwall on Saturday."

The Terrors previously had a £200,000 bid for McKay accepted before making a U-turn and bringing him in loan.
