The fact that Kelty, who are unlikely to make the playoffs but are in absolutely no danger of being relegated are leaving him there for the time being, tells you that he isn't ready yet. They would have been as well bringing him in and getting him familiar. He might end up doing well, you never know. But I don't think he'd have solved anything for us. Agree that they have signed him and allowed Bo’ness to retain him for mutual reasons. He’ll be able to continue developing in the relative comfort of LL for now, and then will have an entire preseason with Kelty to see what the step up is about. It’s more about proactively signing a prospect to lock him up before someone else takes a flyer…and having the money to be able to take guy a year before anyone else outwith Rangers or Celtic can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I suspect there's more going on behind the scenes. It wouldn't surprise me if either or both of Stanton and Brown are out longer term with injuries and more details come out in the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Wow just wow. No money but we can still sign a midfielder. Another waste when we need a striker and a centre half. I hope he enjoys sitting on the bench as he isn't going to play before Brown, Spencer or Stanton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I suspect Stanton and Matthews aren't xoming back shortly. He needs central midfield cover then but would prefer it if Arnott got game time. Hence our new bench warmer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Yet another midfielder, a bench warmer at best unless something is wrong somewhere, we need a Striker Mr Murray , does that mean we have a Teacher, Nurse or Train Driver incoming 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected Murray to go to Hearts for Euan Henderson not for McGill. I remember seeing the latter for Airdrie in L1 last season. Scored a peach against Motherwell in the league cup group stages. Decent player for L1, interested to see if he's kicked on and how he gets on in the Championship, if he can get game time that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 If you were looking for an archetypal Murray signing, it would be a player he's worked with before who is probably a midfielder, wouldn't it? This is so far removed from a priority it's painful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Assume Stanton and Matthews aren't fit, and won't be for a while. Assume he thinks Arnott needs proper game time to develop rather than being a bench warmer for us. That gives us a grand total of two specialist centre mids in Spencer and Brown. Easton can play in there but he's needed to cover for Ross, who's also injured. So, actually a relatively low cost centre mid who can sit on the bench as cover and is likely to see some action is probably needed. It might not be the priority but it's not necessarily a pointless dalliance either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
