The Apprentice Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 10 hours ago, Sir Gio said: McGeouch looks a bit glass to me I was thinking exactly this. As much as he would improve our midfield he can’t seem to string a decent sequence of games together without being injured, even as recently as having to pull out of the national team due to injury. I honestly think that’s one of the reasons he ended up at Hibs in the first place tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarrysRightFoot Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I originally said I thought McGeough would be one of the players - and I hope it is. But thinking about it’s most likely from the players we have been linked with the three are - Bain, Dykes and Fraser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
