Ah, Finlay Robertson, born on a blustery day in November 2002, a mere pup at the tender age of 23. This lad, raised in Scotland's evaluative eye, graces the pitch as a central midfielder for the footballing institution Dundee. Aside from addressing the balmy Scottish weather, he stands a mere 5ft 7in (1.71m) in his boots and weighs in at a lean 11st (70kg). A fan of fancy textile numbers, he adorns himself with the fabled number 10 jersey.
So, what is a twenty-something footy player worth these days? Well, according to our word on the street, or rather the word from Transfermarkt, our hero has a market value knocking around the doorstep of £255k. Cheap as chips, conceivably, but in this day and age, who are we to judge?
Now, let's saunter down memory lane. In the summer warmth of 2017, young Master Robertson initiated his pro career by joining Dundee as a trainee. One can only assume he fetched the teas and coffees, given his sole appearance during the 2018 - 2019 season. Fast forward to the 2021 - 2022 season, Robertson managed a pair of first team appearances, with a slight improvement the proceeding season chalking up eight appearances.
In a somewhat shocking turn of events, Robertson boarded the loan train to Cove Rangers in the lofty heights of League One, a move which occurred in the September of 2021. But alas, like a bad penny, he rebounded back to Dundee in January 2022, upon the conclusion of his loan. The lad honed his skills on his return, posting 13 first team appearances for the following 2023 - 2024 season. His appearance tally multiplied in the subsequent years, reaching 29 for the 2024 - 2025 season. In the current season of 2025 - 2026, our treasured mainstay has notched up another 15 appearances and even found the back of the net.
Notably, it's worth curtly acknowledging Robertson’s tepid contribution in the League Cup 2025 - 2026, with three starts and one substitute. As for the Scottish Cup in the same season, well, let’s just say it was a fleeting dilemma, with a single showing as a substitute.
