His cameo in the Edinburgh derby defeat at Tynecastle swung the game in Hibs favour and they should have rescued a point from the match had Jordon Forster’s […]

Phil Roberts to Dundee

Why it makes sense For the club The criticism of Dundee that survived through John Brown and into Paul Hartley’s tenure was that they had a bloated and unbalanced squad.
