Jack Ross has admitted he tried to take Steven Fletcher to Hibs last summer after having a 'wee nibble' at the Scotland international during a clash with Stoke City.
The 35-year-old has made his return north of the border this summer after joining Dundee United on a two-year deal under new boss Ross. The Tannadice gaffer reckons his conversation with his new recruit 12 months ago played a part in bringing him to the Scottish Premiership as the Tangerines get set for a European adventure.
United will enter the Europa Conference League qualifiers and are in full swing in pre-season ahead of that test and the return to domestic Premiership action in three weeks' time. Dylan Levitt has also committed his future to the club on a two-year deal from Manchester United with fans expressing delight over the two latest recruits.
