Celtic’s Ferry no-brainer as Fin stakes Dundee No.10 claim

Dundee United’s Premier Sports Cup campaign hangs in the balance despite a fine 4-0 win over Arbroath in midweek.   We pick the bones out of that triumph, including Lachie Rose’s burgeoning momentum and Zac Sapsford’s blistering start to the season.   Lorenzo Sassetti is now the youngest ever Dundee United player, aged 15 years, five months and 12 days, so we chat about the potential of the Italian kid and teammate Cohen Leiper, 16 – and the biggest question facing youth development.   On the transfer front, Will Ferry is on Celtic’s radar – as he obviously should be – and United have held talks regarding Abdoulaye Bayo.  For Dundee, Fin Robertson scored a screamer, but it wasn’t enough to claim a win at Ross County as as “evergreen” Brian Graham helped the Highlanders secure a 1-1 draw and penalty kick triumph.  Did the Dee’s homegrown midfielder do enough to earn a regular place behind the striker?  Kieran O’Hara has pressed his claim to be Dundee’s first-choice keeper, but Bear reckons there is still plenty of work to be done in the transfer market.   The Dark Blues must get back on track against Clyde on Saturday.   The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton is joined by Alan Temple and Graeme Finnan in our Meadowside studio.   You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos
