Dunfermline Athletic have signed former Scotland international Steven Whittaker as a player/coach and completed a deal for fellow defender Paul Watson.

Whittaker, who has 31 caps, joins the Scottish Championship side on a one-year deal after leaving Hibernian.

Centre-back Watson, meanwhile, has signed a two-year contract after being part of the Dundee United side that won the division last term.

Dunfermline's second-tier campaign will begin in October.
