This is a position the whole of Scottish football and probably most of English football know we are struggling with.
We are reportedly looking at a 20 year old left back from Charlon Athletic who their manager does not want to sell,
Their manager said this boy is a work in progress,should we be getting involved with work in progress players at this stage when it is a more than decent left back is what we need asap ..

Some great manes there, how I’d love to have a Tom Boyd, or even an anton rogan, both would run through brick walls for the team👍

I'll agree with Boyd, but IMO Anton was a liability. No doubt we would give absolutely everything for the Hoops but I thought he was very limited as a player. I might be in the minority in that view but as much as I liked him I often used to watch him in fear.

No that season he did'nae, TT. He was'nae even gettin a game till the Ne'er's Day match up wie the dead club.

I'm not gettin on his case, he surpassed our expectations and will always be "one of our own", but check his goal stats that season........not impressive, TT. One goal in the league that season.

My mate is like you Duffy a Mulgrewiac. He went a bit further though, strayed beyond to the point of bizzare. patter was was trying to hook up his maw n Charlie. While he was usually loaded with the latter.
Used to tell us "listen lads just because your maw doesnae have a chance ye canny stand in the way of true love"
"It'll no be that when every c@#$ is trying to come up to mine on Christmas night for a kerryoot"

To the both of you. Sad as it is. I can't see it happening 😂
