Dundee face a £250,000 bill from the taxman that could force them into administration, according to a spokesman for the football club.

A senior Dens Park source told BBC Scotland: "HMRC are looking for the payment immediately.

"And they are being completely inflexible, with no room for negotiation at all."

Dundee had already been plunged into crisis after major investor Calum Melville tendered his resignation.

The Aberdeen-based businessman had offered to resign from the Dundee board as he tackles personal business problems.

That led to negotiations between the club and the director, leading Melville to say he would remain on the board if still wanted and that he would continue to back the club financially.
