G.E.C. 19,128 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I barely remember the Dundee game, personally I thought they were very average but they punished us when Foster and Simmo made their errors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
285miles 515 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Smith made a limited but decent contribution last season. Concern about failing to spot and sign young talent is fair enough but Smith is a good enough backup Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre 1,663 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 It just goes to show you need a wee bit of luck on your side.Yep, I'm not keen on calling it luck but look at Lewis MacLeod, who knows where he'd be had the last couple of years not went how they did. He had a full first team midfield and a fair number of young players ahead of him in the pecking order and could very easily have been another player released by Rangers but now he's on track to be an important part of our team next season and one of the few players most people expect to be one of the first names on the sheet when we're back challenging for the Premiership.
