However, Calderwood loved him and labelled him as his first line of defence. To be fair, he was very quick, worked tirelessly and was pretty hardy. Just no football in him. First few times I saw Simon Murray I was reminded of Mackie, however, Murray seems to at least score goals. i would swap mediocre with dire. must have one of the worst goal goals to game ratio in scotland for strikers with over 100 starts. he was also tarred with the michael owen brush probably at the same time mcnaughton was tipped to be the next laudrup ahahha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, he gained an element of cult status amongst Dons fans after scoring the goal away to Dnipro to get us into the groups stages of the now Europa League. Dont ever recall mcNaughton being tipped as the next Laudrup? He was a full back and was a brilliant player for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must’ve missed those sorry! Your opinion that McCrorie is “shite” is what you’re entitled to, it’s also contradictory to the majority of opinions on him based on performances, especially in the old firm match you’re referring to. I don’t see the issue with saying McKenna is as likely to be a Zander Diamond as he is to win a Scotland cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say he was shite. Can you not read? I said he was shite in that game, which he undoubtedly was, Griffiths got in behind him time and again and that he has been shite whenever i have saw him. Further viewings have been punctuated by him passing the ball to David Templeton to give Hamilton a goal and then a very shaky performance at Dundee on Friday. Maybe i've just caught bad games/moments but to me he's shown nothing to suggest he'll be as good as your man Pedro claimed. Hopefully i'm wrong and he becomes a solid CB option for us. He's shown nothing to suggest he will though. 32 minutes ago, ProudScot said: I don’t see the issue with saying McKenna is as likely to be a Zander Diamond as he is to win a Scotland cap. Cool. Will we just do that with every player, suggest that he'll likely be absolutely shite? Or will you just admit you're having a sad wee dig because you're upset that i slagged a Rangers player?

I don't think anyone at all subscribed to that did they? At best, IMO, he will have a very good professional career for the rest of his playing career and hopefully, be able to give us 10 years as a decent CB at international level starting in the next 2 or 3 years.

Skovdahl came out with this, ok my memory got the better of me a bit ;-) "Kevin has incredible potential and at the moment is probably only half the player he will end up being. I feel the same excitement when I watch Kevin as I did when Laudrup first came into the Brondby team." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember him scoring in an old firm derby when he was 18. Thought he'd be the Scottish answer to Michael Owen but it never happened for him at Celtic where Larsson, Viduka and then later Chris Sutton and John Hartson all blocked his patch. Then went south to Portsmouth and got bad injuries. He's only 37 now, his peak should've been 2008-10 where he could've been combining with McFadden. Spot on, He was crocked by the time he got to Killmarnock but at one point he was very promising and a lot of people thought he would go the right way. 20 goals in 50 games at Celtic before he turned 21 and most of them were as a substitute. Record elsewhere wasn't bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
