Hull City fail to agree Robertson deal

DUNDEE United defender Andrew Robertson’s move to Hull City has stalled, according to reports.

Shiels is currently looking for a new role after leaving Morton, with his final game at the club ending in a 10-2 defeat to Hamilton.

Shiels said: “There are so many parallels with the Scolari situation. Our loss wasn’t as bad as Brazil’s in the respect they had the World Cup to play for… but it just shows what can happen to you psychologically.” (Sun)
