Been your best and most threatening player and tore us apart on Monday. Any chance of bringing someone else in or replacing him? They've signed Theo Archibald on loan from Celtic, dunno how good he is, he was an unused sub in the 5-1 defeat to us in the Irn Bru cup. He's in the squad for our game tomorrow though, so maybe see him play then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teekasule Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 wee interview with the Rovers Chairman - might be an interest to some.

Hampden Diehard Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 On 1/7/2017 at 10:31, Vodka Vic said: Paul Martin is the best manager Rovers had IMO. Got the club promoted on the lowest budget in the league- produced and built a team of quality and character. To boot he kept the club up the following season with the last kick of the ball. The first post war Rovers team to go up and stay up. Got involved in numerous dust ups with match officials and coaches from opposing clubs- always had plenty of time for the fans. What's not to like. If, God forbid, Gus went, I'd have Paul Martin back in a minute at Queen's Park. Always impressed with him, particularly when he was in joint control of the first team briefly, ....bust ups with officials aside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I have a great deal of time for Paul Martin, I'd be straight on the phone to Rovers current assistant manager when Gus gets the Barca job.

I live in the hope that Billy Stark likes life at the Rovers and doesn't want to be in the front line again. So when Darren Young gets a full time job, Billy stays behind to assist the next incumbent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pastmaster Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well next Saturday sees the end of Darren Young`s three season tenure as manager of Rovers. Any ideas who will follow him into the `hot` seat given that Rovers will have probably the smallest playing budget in the League and season`s end may see an exodus of all out of contract players ?

Kerr represented Scotland at senior international level, earning three caps during Beri Vogts' reign as national team manager. He was in charge of Rovers Development squad last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Craig Malcolm linked with you guys and Wallace to us. Malcom has been offered a deal with Stranraer. Usual, for this time of year, all hear say. I love Malky and his work rate is top notch but if Faz plays the same tactics next season he's probably not the answer. Don't know much about Wallace.

Chris_the_rover Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Craig Malcolm nearly signed with us few years ago but Todd Lumsden apparently pulled the plug at the last minute. Player I really like seems to get linked with us every window Wallace is a great player however constantly injured dare say we would have been alot higher up the league had he and Ross Stewart stayed fit all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player I really like seems to get linked with us every window Based in East Kilbride it would be convenient, heard Arbroath have also offered him a deal.Think he's only got one or two seasons in him. 250 appearances and over 100 goals for Stranraer. Great servant if you forgive his spell up the road. Hoping we still have next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was fit he was was superb. MOTM every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
