Scout Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Heard from s very good source Man Utd and a lot of big English clubs are looking at - Billy Gilmour Rangers - Tony Gallagher Falkirk also a young St Mirrem centre back never got his name. We are also fighting it out with England for Charlie Gilmour Arsenal and Mackenzie Heaney Newcastle who they say will have big futures in the game.

JECK Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Any threads along the lines of "Up and coming players" have proved to need a large sprinkling of salt the last 10 years or more. That is all. Edited December 29, 2016 by JECK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisEDI Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 charlie glimour apparently switched back to us, he has played for us once since that was announced so i remain unconvinced that this is permanent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 That's why we should be all over these lads - if they are good enough get them into our camp think the Newcastle lad has also turned out for Scotland and England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting for the kid but in reality probably not the best move at an age where you need to be playing and if you're somewhere you are playing, you should probably stay there for a bit.

Agree he needs to be playing but if he is good (and I don't know whether he is or not) you'd want him to be playing a higher standard that he is now.

Funnily enough, outwith the OF, Livingston have the best record of any club for producing regular* Scottish Internationalists over the last 20 years. *defining regular as ten or more caps.

I seem to recall watching the victory shield when he was 14/15 and he wasn't yet committed to a side but had trained with various teams north and south of the border.

"I kept doing that until I signed for the club on my 16th birthday. The manager had a big involvement in me coming here.
