islandblue 366 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Murty said last week he was “very close “. Any updates? He would make a huge difference to us. If he doesn’t make it I think he’ll play McCrorie at the back as we cant go with Martin and Alves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 It shows you how desperate things have become that we're worried about overcoming Dundee at Ibrox without David Bates.

Smell the hotdog 4,028 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Fuck me I was wrong about this lad. Zero chance of beating the tarriers without him centre half.

Docspawn 412 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Have to say wishes Wilson was still here, if was still playing for us then 2nd place was settled AND don’t think Tim’s would have beat us (as Bates wouldn’t have been injured trying to do the work of 2 CBs) and possibly even been challenging for league title. Bates and Wilson was best CB combo. Jamie0202 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
