We’d end up with some clogger like Neil McCann, Jim McIntyre or Barry Smith.

We really wouldnt end up with any of them. They are Dunfermline, Falkirk, Raith type targets. It would end up  either Barry or Kellogs.

Within minutes of this approach, John notified the club and confirmed to our CEO that he had no desire or intention to speak to Dundee FC about their vacant Managerial position. He did not reply to, nor acknowledge this approach. To be 100% clear, this approach from Dundee FC was entirely unsolicited and given that it was less than 24 hours after a draining Premiership Play-Off Semi- Final defeat, entirely unwelcome.

Bet he's in charge at Dens by Friday.

Highland League clubs will discuss four proposals at Monday’s annual meeting in Lossiemouth as they prepare for life without Cove Rangers.

The Aberdeen side created history by defeating Berwick Rangers 7-0 on aggregate in the pyramid play-off finalto earn promotion to the SPFL.

Their departure to League 2 opens up a potential space in the Highland League and two of the prosposal set to be discussed at Monday’s meeting are to consider either a Caley Thistle Colts team or Aberdeen juniors Banks o’ Dee as a potential replacement.

The other options on the table are to continue with a 17-team league or to take a year to invite applications to join the division.

A Highland League source said: “The league has written to Banks o’ Dee to enquire what their intentions are now that Cove Rangers have been promoted.

“Banks o’ Dee may wish to join the Highland League because they are members of the Scottish FA and have signed up to the football pyramid.

“All of those options will be considered on Monday evening at the annual genereal meeting because every member club has a right to have a say on the matter.”

If the league decides to continue with 17 teams then each club would enjoy two separate weeks off during the season.

Barry Wilson, Caley Thistle first-team coach and under-18s manager, believes playing in the Highland League would be beneficial for the club’s youngsters.

He said: “John (Robertson) has spoken to the Highland League and has put forward a proposal. We’re waiting to hear.

“The benefits that it would give us would keep our promising under-18s and 19s together as a team, because they’d be too old for the under-18s and we don’t have a reserve side.

“We would be playing against men and organised teams, which would allow players to learn the physical aspect of the game.”

The Caley Jags would impose a limit of two over-age players in their team, who would only play if they were coming back from injury.

Banks o’ Dee chairman Brian Winton has repeatedly said the junior club would not be interested in joining the Highland League. Winton was unavailable for comment yesterday.

Thug Adams got a mention on the news sport section last night, he must be touting for the Dundee or Killie job.

He rejected both, virtually admitting both are too hard. His quotes read as Dundee being too hard to turn around, while he doesnt believe he could match Clarke at Kilmarnock.

I suspect he’s right. He’s no fool.

He should become a Farm Manager again.

He was for a time at PA, I visited Home Park for a game a few years back and it was a disaster area, the front of the main stand was a pile of rubble.

And the team that day were manure.
