Why it makes sense For the club It has Celtic signing written all over it. He is a raw, young player from a country not particularly noted for their football heritage (so he’s cheap) – but he has plenty of talent and could be considered one of the bright young prospects in Europe if everything […]

Why it makes sense For the club Saturday’s loss against Ross County highlighted some serious tactical flaws in the St Mirren team. Danny Lennon’s philosophy is to play possession football from the back. To shut down passing football the most efficient way is to put press the opponent.

Why it makes sense For the club Filling the void left by Chris Erskine was one piece of summer shopping that Thistle did not get around to purchasing. John Baird was brought on board and he performed at times for Dundee last season, but it doesn’t instil much hope in spectators to be relying on […]

Why it makes sense For the club Few players had undeservedly high reputations with their own fans as Jason Brown enjoyed with the Aberdeen support. Who is Jason Brown? He was The Dons’ backup goalkeeper who’d looked dependable in 20 odds games the previous season but found himself on the bench after Jamie Langfield returned […]
Read MoreWhy it makes sense For the player He was unemployed and will now get the chance to play on a team that might qualify for the Champions League.
