Phil 1,150 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Brilliant news From what I've seen I reckon Macleod and Mackay have the potential to be great players for us.Mackay always seems able and confident enough to take defenders on and cut inside and Macleod looks to have an eye for a pass, hopefully I'll see more of Crawford as this season goes on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,708 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Excellent news!Was playing FM the other night and it got to about October when I got a message saying Barrie McKay only had 3 months on his contract left, not sure whether it was accurate or not but I'm sure someone on here mentioned his deal actually only went till the end of the year or something. The summer would seem more realistic though.Anyway, great news to have them signed up. Hopefully a sign that they won't be like previous youngsters who had fled for money at the first chance.

Gaz92 966 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Relieved to hear this. Not in a position to let any of our players go over the next 18 months, especially not these boys. These are the ones who will be the key when we're reclaiming our place at the top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
