RANGERRAB 3,680 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) IIRC there was a case a few seasons ago when Richard Brittain playing for Ross County signed a pre-contract for St Johnstone in the January then at the end of the season changed his mind & refused to sign for St Johnstone. I think the SFA refused to take St Johnstone’s side & said it was the player’s decision. Perhaps it was this case Ian McCall was referring to Edited January 11, 2019 by RANGERRAB 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Whether it's binding or not is pretty irrelevant because there is no way Shankland would sign a pre-contract with Rangers then back out of it to stay with Ayr. Quote For the start of the 2013–14, Brittain agreed to join St Johnstone on a two-year deal after signing a pre-contract with the club on 9 January 2013. Brittain was previously criticised by St Johnstone Manager Steve Lomas earlier in the 2012–13 season, calling him a "cheat". He then changed his mind and said he wanted to stay at Ross County, who then registered him as their player preventing St Johnstone from doing so.
