Dundee skipper Simon Murray joins lifelong fan for launch of new Dee anthem.

Murray will appear alongside Craig Weir to promote the latter’s new single, One Team For Me.

Dundee FC hero Simon Murray has collaborated with a world-renowned city piper to release a new track commemorating their shared passion of the Dark Blues.

Lifelong Dee Craig Weir, who has performed on big venues all around the world with the likes of Queen and The Libertines, will be in conversation with club captain Simon at Assai Records in Union Street on Wednesday evening to celebrate the release of his new track, One Team For Me.

In addition to the question-and-answer session with fans, Craig will perform a few Dundee songs and autograph copies of the limited edition blue and white vinyl seven-inch single, which Craig and his band The Cabalistic Cavalry recently recorded.

The record’s B-side has a Dundee Social Club Remix, created by the dance pair Billy Morris and Matty Miller.

Craig has already worked with the club on a number of projects, including raising funds for the academy during Covid, and he says he is always eager to assist the club wherever possible.

He adds the song came about because he realised the club’s other anthems, Up Wi’ The Bonnets and Johnny Scobie, were “kind of heritage songs and feel a wee bit dated.”

Craig went on to say, “I just thought they were looking backwards, and it might be time, when the club has a big forward vision for a new stadium and things, for me to write a song that is looking forward.” “But the name, One Team For Me, is derived from a line in Up Wi’ The Bonnets, so it also references that.

“I started writing it about two years ago, after Motherwell released a song that reached the UK charts, so I approached Dundee and offered we collaborate.

“There were a lot of staff changes at the time, so it took a while, but now that Jack Young and Lisa Giove have joined, they’ve been right on top of it.

“I met Keith Ingram from Assai at Dens hospitality one day and asked him if they were interested, and he said yes, so we published a digital version in October and they decided to produce a limited edition vinyl release soon before Christmas.

“It is vital to me that a portion of the revenues from each book are contributed to the Dundee FC Academy to assist Stephen Wright’s incredible work in developing the next generation of players.

“The club has been playing the song and figuring out where it would fit best, either before the game or when the players emerge from the tunnel, but I was at the Kilmarnock game and they played it at the end when the players were celebrating with the supporters, which was amazing.

“I’ve had the opportunity of performing in many amazing places throughout the world, but as a lifelong Dee fan, hearing my song performed there made me really proud.

Hopefully, we will hear it following the club’s wins!” “The night with Simon on Wednesday will be great, I’m really looking forward to it and hopefully we’ll get a good turn-out”

Simon expressed his excitement at being able to help Craig promote the song while also meeting some of the fans.

“It’ll be good to talk about what Craig’s going to be doing as well,” the striker remarked.

“It’s important to do something like this; the song is now associated with the club, so it’ll be beneficial to both Craig and the club to promote it.”

“Hopefully after a few more home wins it will be nice to hear the song being played over the Tannoy system.”

A representative for Dundee FC stated, “We are delighted to be part of an evening with Craig Weir to promote his 7” vinyl One Team For Me at Assai Records Dundee.

“Our collaboration with Assai Records, the official warm-up partner, has opened up a new creative outlet, allowing us to connect and engage with our fans through music.

“We are grateful to Craig for creating this song and for donating the proceeds to our academy.”

The event begins at 7.30pm and admission is free, or £13 if you purchase a single. Those that do so will be entered into a draw to win a signed DFC training top.
