Biography

Signed by Dave Smith from Dunfermline in December 1988 for a fee of £45,000 on the same day as Joe McBride was recruited from Hibs. Injury, however, restricted the versatile midfielder or defender to a grand total of twenty-four appearances in a Dark Blue jersey.

Although a Dundee supporter as a youngster, most, however, will recall him for the fourteen years he spent at Tannadice where he won two League Cup medals and a Premier League title.

Holt went on to have spells with Fofar as a player and then as player/coach at Deveronvale, before managing Montrose.
