Dundee Utd coach Jackson backing Robertson for big things at Hull

Dundee United coach Darren Jackson is delighted for Andrew Robertson over his early season form with Hull City.

Jackson believes the defender is heading for the very top in an interview with the Evening Telegraph.

"I watched Andy on the TV on Sunday and he was brilliant for Hull," he said. "They got the boy sent off very early on and that only made it harder for them but it's all about Andy's desire.

"It wouldn't matter if they were down to nine men or even eight men. His desire to get forward will always be there and he'll always look to attack.

"That's definitely the strength in his game but, defensively, I thought he was very good as well. He seems to have taken to the game down there very well but I expected that.

"It really doesn't surprise me how good he's been. It's because his desire is incredible. Working with him you could see that every single day in training. He never let up and always worked hard at his game.

"That's why he is where he is and he will continue to get better and do well down there."
