Look like we might have signed Methadone Mick from Still Game....

Fortunately we have Craig Barr to compensate for that, he looks a bit like Paul McGinn there actually. 

Anyway, I couldn't point to Wilson on the pitch, and don't know a great deal about what sort of player he is, but he's a midfielder (which we needed) and seems to be rated relatively highly by both Thistle and Stranraer fans, so that's good. Young too, and with a point to prove, which is decent.

Hard to tell from pictures but he doesn't look too dissimilar from Stanton in his build, if he is skillful and direct then it's easy to see why we've taken a punt on him. Replacing Stirling and Stanton with players who are comfortable running with the ball (Walsh and now Wilson) is vital for us - the former players were excellent in providing a bit of rest for our defence last season and I think we'll need that again this year.

Wilson has been given a free run to fire some propaganda into 'The Sun' again

July 2019...Brabco must be getting restless and keen to get their money back here...

Bloody hell, he's only just signed as well.

 

Oh, THAT Wilson...

Realised that we now had another one, just after I posted that. Good news is that David cannot be any worse than Ian!

In other news, Nicky Devlin has joined Walsall - good luck to him, I hope it works out

That's a great move for Nicky, pleased for him.

I was just looking at that photo of the old David Wilson and note it says "outside-left" above his name. It's funny how position names change over the years, you never hear someone being called an outside-left these days. Any other whacky position names you auld duffers used to come up with? :P

Been reading today that Barr's is a 2 year deal.

Doesn't appear to be, unless the website has made a boo-boo

Seen it twice on LinkedIn (I know) now that it's a 2 year deal. One post from Barr himself about looking forward to the next couple of seasons at the Rock.
