charger29 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Harper has basically been forgotten about by Malaga now. He's barely played since signing his pre-contract with Getafe. Was falling out of favour before that too. Seems like there was an issue with Malaga wanting to use their option to re-sign him, but apparently they've settled on a £1.5m deal to avoid it going to a tribunal. He'll be the first Scottish player to play in LaLiga since 1988 and maybe first in the champions league for a non British team since ??? It'll be interesting to see how a new manager looks at him for the September/October/November fixtures if he can get one or two starts for Getafe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archibald for Barcelona and Ted McMinn for Sevilla both left in 1988 according to the papers. Although, Wikipedia disagrees with this r.e. Archibald, saying he came back to play for Espanol a year later. 1 hour ago, craigkillie said: Alan Hutton played in La Liga in 2013. You're correct, I misread the headline.

Espanyol were in the second tier when Archibald played there in 1989/90. McMinn was the last Scottish player to appear in La Liga before Hutton - his final appearance for Sevilla came on 30th January 1988 in a 1-0 win away to Betis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Lambert, John Collins and Scott Booth have done so since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about Collins too. Getafe are another step closer to CL qualification after they, Sevilla and Valencia all lost today. 3 games left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 One of Getafe's last three games is at the Camp Nou, which is probably a write-off even against a Barca side who have already wrapped up the league. The other two are home games against Girona and Villarreal, both of which are very winnable. Good chance of them finishing 4th, though. Hopefully Harper gets a chance with them, but it's going to be a big step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostZapper Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Good luck to him - hope he kicks on. 4 goals in 26 games the 2nd tier isn't exactly battering down to the door to get in the Scotland squad, but he has a much bigger opportunity now! Really hope he isn't going to be sitting on the bench every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't learn from writing off Bates?It certainly looks like a cul-de-sac move, but he wasn't signed by Getafe for a million or whatever because they thought he was shite. There's a player in there somewhere. No idea if he'll ever prove to be good enough for Scotland but it'd be absolute arrogant madness not to at least monitor his progress. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
