Dundee midfielder Finlay Robertson says challenging himself against West Ham United stalwart Mark Noble is the standard he wants to consistently test himself against.

18-year-old Robertson can’t wait (Courier): “He’s had a brilliant career, playing his whole career in the English Premier League. He’s always kept himself at a high level and that’s the kind of player you want to base yourself off, people like that. He’s been at his club since he was a kid, so if I could try to emulate half of what he’s done, I’ll be happy!
“Hopefully, I can be out there again. It’ll be a really tough test, but that’s what you want to do, play against the best teams. I think it’s a good set-up for us ahead of going back to the Premiership against opposition with real quality. Hopefully, we can put on a real show.”
