Charlie. Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I posted something similar to this on the Queen of the South site. So now that the deals for both Daniel Carmichael and Gavin Reilly formally of Gretna 2008 and Queen of The South have been finalised, only now do I think it appropriate to comment. Having whiteness first hand both these boys playing for Gretna 2008 as teenagers in a physical East of Scotland league it was obvious they were both destined for higher things. It was a pleasure watching two lightweight youngsters more than holding their own and often standing out and staring in the games they played. It’s great to see both these players move on to higher things and I wouldn’t be surprised if they move on to even bigger clubs. No disrespect to Queen of the South but these guys are now playing with better players and will have the use of better facilities and coaching so they should only improve. Good luck to both these players as their careers move on to a bigger chapter. Stick in lads. It just goes to show that there is a lot of talent in our leagues playing for local teams. Who will be the next to make the step up to the professional leagues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab B Nesbit Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Be very interesting to see if Reilly and Carmichael can kick on at the 2 Edinburgh clubs. Well done to Omar Kader who has stepped up the Championship with a move from Forfar to Alloa. Also see James Craigen has joined Raith after his release from Partick Thistle.

Hope we had a sell-on clause? Great lad Omar. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky85 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 We have a lot of young lads at Gretna that could step up, with Brandon Longcake certain for bigger things once his studies are finished. The lad has all the tools and a fantastic attitude to boot. 2 more years to polish his game with GFC then I think he's Championship bound at least.
