John Robertson returned to Inverness Caledonian Thistle for his second stint in charge in 2017

Inverness Caledonian Thistle have rejected an approach from Dundee to speak to manager John Robertson.

The Dens Park club, who sacked Jim McIntyre this month after top-flight relegation, say they have compiled a shortlist of managerial targets and expect to start interviews this week.

"Some of the candidates are currently employed by other clubs and we requested permission to speak to them," a Dundee statement said.

Robertson is under contract until 2021.

In his second spell at the club, the 54-year-old guided Caley Thistle to the Premiership play-off semi-finals, where they lost to Dundee United, and last four of the Scottish Cup this season.
