HE’S BACK! Our resident critic has shaken off the summer cobwebs and is ready once more to give some individual player insight. Jason Holt Rangers v St Mirren Centre midfield 22-years-old **** Respected by other teams, players and the media, and yet stayed a free agent for most of this summer.

Farid El Alagui 30-years old Striker v Falkirk ** Why didn’t I pick Scott Allan? After dishing out my first 5* performance to Rado Cierzniak I could have been on a roll after some of the dross I’ve witnessed this season. I didn’t even need to be keeping a close eye on the midfielder to […]

It’s what two ex-wives and a lifetime of poor choices crammed into 30-odd years will do to you. Sometimes (ok, often) this cynicism comes out in my work.
