Play-off schedule is not fair, says Inverness boss Robertson

Inverness boss John Robertson has branded the scheduling of the play-off semi-finals ludicrous.Inverness set up a last-four meeting with Dundee United following a 4-2 aggregate victory over Ayr.Dundee United will travel to Inverness on Tuesday, having not played since May 4 after their second-placed finish in the Ladbrokes Championship, Robertson believes his side should have a longer break between matches.We didnt want to say anything before the game, but I dont understand why we cannot play the first leg on Thursday and the second leg on Sunday, said Robertson.Its ludicrous that you are trying to get the best product on the pitch, and I dont think it is fair asking us to play Tuesday-Friday when Dundee United have had nine days rest.There is no reason to go Tuesday-Friday when they could have gone Thursday-Sunday.It would have been a much fairer outcome for both sets of players.Ayrs season is now over, but manager Ian McCall was proud of his sides efforts over the season.With several key players set to leave the club this summer, he wants to rebuild the squad in order to launch a bid for the title next term.Ive been very proud the last two years, McCall said.There are a lot of boys out there that will be leaving, but they didnt leave anything in the dressing room.All our really good players have been in talks about pre-contracts.Lawrence Shankland in particular hes had a couple of injuries but hes had about 30 clubs talking to him.What Ayr United have given me is my drive and all my ambition back.It wasnt so long ago that every club in Scotland wanted me when I went to Dundee United, so I dont want to build a team to be eighth.I want to build a team to win the league and well see if Im able to do that.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
