IainB 599 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Destined to become Morton's young player of the year Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hopefully he gets game time and comes back a better player, assume this means Lang is ahead of him covering for any injuries/suspensions? Still got Mcgregor and Zal on the books, hopefully he comes back better for the experience Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1872 21,646 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Makes sense as 4 centre backs are in front of him just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolongawake 1,234 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Makes sense as 4 centre backs are in front of him just now.Hoped we might get rid of Zal and have Gasparotto closer to the first team.May still chuck him and have Lang as 4th choice i suppose Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanhentze 14,449 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Probably something to do with the injury one of the Morton players picked up during the friendly. Russell coming in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering that myself.I dont imagine Warbuton was at the Morton game last week to scout them for an upcoming bounce match. Although with the level of detail he puts into every other aspect of the game, maybe it wouldn't be that much of a surprise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank McKeown out for the season with a cruciate ligament injury apparently. Hopefully Luca gets plenty of game time then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Saw him play in the Youth Cup final, have to say he was bloody awful although he certainly wasn't the only one. Seen him play a few times, and I just cannot see why some on here big him up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainDandy 834 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 What position does Russell play?Left back, left wingWas actually a striker up until Kenny Shiels joined Morton and wanted him shifted to the left side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think that this lad is on the way out. I doubt he will play 1st team football for us again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen him play a few times, and I just cannot see why some on here big him up.I saw that game and said the same thing. He is no longer in the 23 man Canadian roster either. This loan spell will hopefully help his development. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,448 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I don't see him coming back. After the loan runs out he'll move somewhere permenant.The handful of times I've seen him he's been poor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
