ROBB SET TO RETURN
Dundee hope to have Steven Robb back in their squad for this weekend’s trip to Aberdeen (writes Tom Duthie).
In-form Robb missed yesterday’s defeat against Rangers after being in bed for three days with a virus. But, by kick-off, he was well enough to take a seat in the stand.

And, although he may have to take things easy for another couple of days, he should be in full training by the time the end of the week comes.

Meanwhile, although he is not one for excuses when his team loses, boss Jim Duffy felt two substitutions yesterday provided a perfect demonstration of what provincial clubs are up against when they face the Old Firm.

“We were doing well in the game and forced Rangers into a change, while, because he was not 100% fit, we had to take off Tam McManus when he tired in the second half,” said Jim.

“When Rangers had to make their change, they brought on Thomas Bufell, who cost them over £2 million in January, while we sent on young Scott Robertson.

“Scott is a very good prospect and we rate him highly. But, earlier, he was on loan at Peterhead and that shows the difference between the resources of the two clubs.”
