JFK-1 1,693 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Being Scottish you might think he has followed Scottish football all his life and he obviously knows the general environment of Scottish football better than Gerrard possibly could. And knows the divisive nature of the old firm better than maybe Gerrard ever will. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All well and good... except you could apply the exact same things to Davie Weir, except Weir had played in Scotland far, far more recently than McAllister. And Weir didn't do a great deal to have us competing with Celtic again. I'm just not seeing having a Scottish #2 as being some masterstroke, particularly when that #2 hasn't played in Scotland for 30 years, and never managed here - though some would argue that is actually a GOOD thing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,724 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Did McAllister not work for BT covering a lot of Scottish games? anyway it kind backs up my not getting too excited! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,570 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Impossible to form an accurate opinion from these kind of videos but he seems predominately right-footed, fond of a diagonal and mobile enough for close people down and/or make up ground when turned. We won't know for sure until this time next year but fingers crossed he does the business! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,200 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Katic comes at an age where as a centre-half he has time to mature into a top player, do a job for us, earn us a profit and go further in the game............ That's the theory. As a club/football operation we have to start improving more players. Part of the scouting process should have been about how they deal with pressure. We simply can't afford another relatively expensive re-build to go Pete Tong, like last summer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
