This bit, " It would have been folly for McCoist to fill his side with kids for the first two stages of The Journey " is where my mates and me sometimes disagree. I'd have preferred youth being used even if it meant it took longer to get back to the top. However, I understand the point that the running costs are huge so a speedy return is probably, business-wise , what was needed. EDIT - why did my writing suddenly turn strange there ? Lol.
