Sunderland have loaned out Ethan Robson to Dundee for the remainder of the season.
Robson was loaned by Sunderland to Dundee in the January transfer window, and he opened his account in Scotland at the weekend.
The youngster hit the back of the net against Ross’ former club St. Mirren, in a 2-1 defeat on Saturday.
And Robson admits that Sunderland boss Ross is unlikely to have been best pleased.
“I had a good conversation with him (Ross) and he just told me to come here and get some games,” Robson said.
“I’m at the stage now that I need to be playing games and he agreed and we came to the decision to come to Dundee.
“He wouldn’t be happy I scored against his old club though! But I came here to score goals and I am delighted I got one, although the result didn’t go our way.”
Robson has now made six appearance for Dundee since making the move to Scotland.
Robson had struggled for games at Sunderland over the early part of the season, with his only appearances coming in the EFL Trophy.
Dundee’s defeat against St. Mirren was damaging to their survival chances, as they are now stuck at the bottom of the table.
Dundee are next in action when they take on St. Johnstone on Wednesday.
