Dick Dastardly Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 One of my least favourite Scotland players ever. Still he is now a Jag, so I hope it is a master stroke by GC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonehJags Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I think Miller will be a great signing for us. How can you compare him to Doolan? One has played at a high level, one is a nice guy. Guys like Miller could play for another 5 year in this league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with Doolan being a nice guy , is that relevant? You’re replacing a 32 yr old with a 40 yr old whose best days are behind him.

Firhillista Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I've no idea whether Kenny Miller will be a good signing or not. I thought Scott MacDonald - retired, hadn't played football for six months - was a bizzare signing, but that worked out okay. What I really don't get, though, is the view that we should only be signing young players and 'building for the future'. The future is now. We need to get promoted out of the Championship as soon as possible. Experienced players will make that more likely, not less. Also, young players need older heads around them to bring them on. Let's hope Kenny Miller is the kind of player who'll do just that. (And as for the comparisons with Doolan - enough already. He's gone. He wouldn't have made a significant contribution for Thistle in the coming season. Whether he will for Ayr remains to be seen.) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory is of him running around like a headless chicken and having no end product, while all the time moaning in the refs ear or flapping his hands at who ever gave him a pass that wasn't right on his toe. I also recall shouting F*** S*** Miller every 5 minutes Edited June 26, 2019 by Dick Dastardly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebaw1 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 We’ve had plenty ex (old Rangers)players in the past who have done well for us. Granted Watson and O’Hara were a generation away but I recall many dissenters when they signed due to their relationship with the filth. They were both fully committed Jags, always giving 100%. As long as he’s fit enough he’ll be a success at this level as McDonald was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that they're best days are behind them both. IMO, I think Miller is a class above Doolan even at 39.

If it wasn't for Scott MacDonald's goals we would be playing in League 1 this season. Scott MacDonald was a fantastic signing for us.

Third Lanark Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Apparently Ryan Hardie has been told he is free to find another club by Rangers. If fit then I think he would be a decent signing for anyone in the championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
