Now overtaken Joe Jordan as 3rd highest Scottish scorer in Serie A. Apparently 7 defenders have scored 4 or more goals this season in Europe’s top 5 leagues but Hickey the only teenager. Not 20 until next June. A big move awaits? Clarke can’t ignore him for much longer. Interesting to see what sort of fee would be involved. The fact he’s doing it in one of the big leagues would suggest 15mill plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His manager says he should be in the senior Scotland team, when Hickey says Robertson plays in his position, he says, Robertson? He's rubbish, and has a wee laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theabsentee Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Starts for quite a few of our promising young players tonight. In particular looking forward to seeing how Harrison Ashby for West Ham & Owen Moffat for Celtic perform. Also thought Micky Johnston played pretty in Sundays final, let's see if he can kick on tonight. Nice to hear about Hickeys goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply has to be in thr next squad. Can play left or right wing back so perfect for a squad pick and also playing consistently well in one of the top 4 leagues.

Our full back options are really starting to blossom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But neither would Patterson. It would be impossible to justify either of them ahead of Ralston, Hickey, or Ramsay. Fortunately for them, Clarke has seen them up close and personal in training and in Scotland games, which gives them cash in the bank. But I'd feel aggrieved if I were Hickey, Ramsay or Ralston, seeing Taylor, SOD or Patterson getting picked ahead of me.

It’s an amazing position to be in to have Patterson, Ralston, Ramsay & Hickey all on the scene at the same time as up and coming full backs to complement world class players in Robertson & Tierney.

Diamond Scot Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Id have Hickey in as a 2nd place backup for both left and right wing back. The pecking order for LWB is probably Robertson then Tierney (with somebody like Cooper coming in at LCB to accomodate) and RWB is Patterson and probably atm still OdDonnell however bringing Hickey into the fold would get him involved, allow him to get used to the tactics etc and get some caps. Hickey is some way ahead of Ralston, Ramsey and Ashby at the minute in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had several top performances for us in 2021 including in the last game. Clarke seems to operate a system where he trys to keep a settled squad until it gets to the stage where the alernative is clearly better. Not just in terms of ability but also knowing the tactics etc. Thats why i think he might bring Hickey into the next squad along with OdDonnell then move on from him thereafter. Its really positive that we have the likes of Hickey and Patterson who are ready now imo and the Ralston, Ramsey and Ashby who look promising.

I know a few West Ham supporters, plus if you Google him it is pretty positive from coaches/media and Twitter is mostly positive maybe the odd fan not sure, i even check out Owen Brown who analyses a lot of the Scottish youth gives good reports on him.
