I suppose the season you were there I think he maybe scored six goals or so and then exploded into life the next year He was still good I remember his debut I think it was Kelly in the Cup and he came on and everybody was just passing about him I say that all the time and he's definitely got a lot of quality I think he'll go abroad for some reason I think he'll probably get priced out a move here
I would have liked a Calvin Miller one.
I just think he'll probably start most of the games at hearts, but even for Rangers, to fill the Scottish quota, even if he starts half the games and comes on the rest of them, he's electric, he's got quality.
I think signings like that just fill the building with people that know what the club's all about.
I know he's been at Celtic, so that's maybe a bit of a stumbling block, but...
Cammy Devon wouldn't be a bad one for me I think he knows the league like Foddy said you talk about Scottish players but what we mean and you obviously emphasised it is people that know the league up here they don't need to be Scottish but what they need is an understanding of how fast the game is how relentless it is and what it takes to play for Celtic and Rangers you don't need to have played for Celtic and Rangers to see how big the club is and see what you need to do to be there and I think boys like that will know what it's all about and Hearts is probably the second best thing in terms of pressure in Scotland than the Old Firm
Congo have had the better chances.
For me, going back to Fozzie's point,
elaborating on it I think he's totally right Scotland against Haiti I'd be more comfortable going into Scotland v Brazil or Morocco in terms of Scotland are expected to batter Haiti and I just don't see them doing that I don't see them going 2-3-0 whereas I'd be more comfortable expecting a draw against Morocco or Brazil because the way they set up and we're probably not the team and that you saying that probably clicked in my head they're probably not the team that are expected to go out and
beat a team 2-3-4-0 comfortably don't get me wrong the Bolivia game was great but that gave us false hope because that's the first time in I don't know how many years me watching Scotland thinking by the way we are a side here and Scotland are probably better backs against the wall and oh oh there's a goal for Portugal they're suing up it's offside it's an overhead kick from Gial Cancelo but going back to that I think he's totally right that
you wouldn't put it past Scotland to go up with a masterclass and defending their box and at times they defended their box against Haiti and they probably looked better at doing that than dominating a game now the thing for me is that they just there's two games to go and get a point just
there's a chance to do it with the story around the Tartan Army how good they've been everybody buzzing about them in New York like in Boston everywhere like people are raving about them so I think there's a chance to go and do it however I just hope they don't look back at this Haiti game and think I wish we'd won it 2-0 or 3-0 that would hurt a lot What was your other point you wanted to make Brendan?
I think in East Ender Glasgow, everybody looks at the other side, don't they?
The kind of blue and the green.
And I think Rangers have handled the managerial appointment with a lot more grace than Celtic.
I think they've done it a lot quicker.
And I think it's probably been...
kept under wraps as well in terms of, they'd have knew about McInnes' buyout clause, they would have knew all about it and when Roll went, they just went straight for McInnes, got the man they wanted and it showed in it a kind of bit of intent whereas Celtic it was as if they were dilly-dallying the board, were getting messages for the fans saying don't appoint Keane and
Martin O'Neill was probably the right man but the way they went about it and now I think Rangers will probably be in a good place recruitment wise whereas if they left it in a couple of weeks you wouldn't know who was signing the players now they've come out and said manager he'll manage the team he'll pick the best team and I think he'll have a lot of say in the transfers as well
Yeah.
