The defender’s move to Caley Thistle’s Highland rivals for an undisclosed fee was confirmed on Wednesday evening after heavy speculation that Donaldson could move.

It sees the 24-year-old return to the Premiership, but he admits that his relationship with Robertson made it a difficult decision.

“I’ve got a lot to thank John Robertson for.

“He took me when a lot of people wouldn’t, worked with me and gave me that self-belief I needed.

“He believed in me and he’s done a great job – not just with me but with a few boys.”
