[BBC]

Over the last few years, Dundee have been blessed with mercurial midfield talent.

Former Dark Blues stars Luke McCowan, now at Celtic, and Lyall Cameron, now at Rangers, fall in to that category. Replacing that kind of quality, the kind that can unlock any defence , can be very difficult.

In the season just gone, Steven Pressley's side have fared reasonably well in the midfield engine room. Ethan Hamilton, who arrived from Lincoln City last summer, has proved a particularly shrewd addition.

It feels like a big campaign coming up for Finlay Robertson who is entering the final year of his contract. The former Scotland under-21 cap was widely tipped to step into the boots of McCowan and Cameron, however over the last two seasons he has struggled to establish himself in the Dundee team.

This term he only started 13 of their 38 Scottish Premiership games. At 23-years-old, Robertson, who is a product of the Dundee academy, does have time on his side, and in fairness the two Ls, Luke and Lyall, are very tough acts to follow.

But there is no doubt the Dundonian has buckets of talent – the challenge for him, and Pressley, is finding a way of unlocking it on a more regular basis going forward.
