The winger joined the club as part of the transfer deal which took Jocky Scott to Aberdeen, In addition, Dundee also received £15,000. The move came at the start of season 1975-76 and lan went onto have two seasons at the club.

He made his debut for the club against Ayr United in the League Cup at Somerset Park. His first goal for the club also came in the League Cup but that was the following season against Hearts. In total, he made seventy-six appearances for the club, scoring ten goals.
