Alex Ferguson has given the ex Scotland internation a four week trial with Falkirk. Ferguson has been short of options this season, if this deal goes through it may be the end of Sean Higgins short Falkirk career as Ferguson has rarely used the striker. This will not be a shock to anyone who believed the rumours that Ferguson had told him he wouldn't be part of the clubs long term future, it's reported Ferguson is not to impressed with his work ethic or his links with former club Dundee.

Following his two impressive displays as a trialist for the current leaders of the Scottish First Division, Ferguson has offered the knowing trouble maker a chance. Ferguson said " I know a lot of our fans might think Derek is a gamble due to the manner he carries himself off the park, however I believe Derek will offer a new outlet going forward furthermore some much needed experience to a very young and talented squad.

Iwan Wyn Roberts (born 26 June 1968 in Bangor, Gwynedd)[2] is a Welsh former international footballer who played as a striker from 1986 to 2006. Since retiring, he has worked as a sports commentator.

Roberts notably played in the Premier League for Leicester City and Norwich City, as well as earning 15 caps for Wales. He also played in the Football League for Watford, Huddersfield Town, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Gillingham and Cambridge United. Local Norwich football newspaper The Pink'un described him as "one of the greatest goal scorers ever to pull on a Norwich City shirt" and he was elected to the Norwich City F.C. Hall of Fame.

Since retiring as a player, Roberts, who speaks fluent Welsh, has worked as a commentator for Sky Sports, Radio Cymru and BBC Wales. His book, All I Want for Christmas..., a reference to his gap-toothed appearance, prompted both controversy and praise when it was published in 2004.

Derek Collins (born 10 July 1969 in Glasgow) is a Scottish former professional footballer.

Collins started his playing career with Greenock Morton where he spent over a decade after making his debut in 1987. In 1997 Collins joined Hibernian and returned to Greenock Morton via loan spells at Preston North End,[1] Partick Thistle[2] and Sliema Wanderers of Malta[3]

In his second spell with Greenock Morton, Collins established himself as the holder of the record number of appearances for the club. (534 appearances, overtaking the previous record holder, David Wylie, by 52 games.)

In January 2005, Collins signed for Gretna where he combined his playing role with coaching duties before becoming a coach full-time for the 2006-07 season.

Derek Collins also has the honour of being the only player to play in all four of Scotland's senior leagues with the same club (Greenock Morton), a feat he achieved when he captained Morton against Gretna in Gretna's first ever Scottish Football League game.

When Davie Irons left Gretna for Morton as manager, Collins went with him as his assistant.

In September 2009, after a poor start to the season, Collins and Irons were sacked by Morton.[4]
