Derek McInnes confirms David Robertson move to St Johnstone

St Johnstone manager Derek McInnes has confirmed that Dundee United midfielder David Robertson is set to sign for Saints.

Courier Sport broke the news that the 24-year-old, whose contract at Tannadice runs out soon, was on the verge of moving to McDiarmid Park on a two-year deal.

McInnes was reluctant to go into too much detail until the player formally puts pen to paper, but he would say he was “delighted” that Robertson will be playing for the Saints next season.

However, the Saints boss was less forthcoming on speculation linking him with a move for striker Colin Nish, who has just been released by Hibs, preferring to make no comment on the rumours.
