I went to a Scottish League versus, I think but not sure, Irish League match at Hampden. Davie Wilson of Rangers was the first choice left winger for Scotland at the time but was not at his best. A good game and McParland was in! The left half was Jim Baxter of Rangers. He was dreadful in that game and nearly all of his passes to McParland on the left wing were over hit and Davie couldn't get to them. As I had never seen Baxter pass the ball so badly I thought it was deliberate to protect his pal Wilson's Scotland place. There were quite a few comments in the press along these lines and especially about Davie getting another chance. Davie, being the gentleman he was, accepted responsibility and commented 'he felt a yard slow on the night'! I completely lost respect for Baxter after that game. Some time later my father, a Morton fan and a pal of Davie, told me my suspicions were correct! He worked all his life in the newspapers and pick up lots of bits of 'inside' information but he wouldn't tell me his source other than it came from Ibrox!! A blind man could have seen what Baxter was up to but not the SFA. I suspect they knew but didn't want to take on the mighty Glasgow Rangers by dropping Wilson. Apologies for length of post. I'd heard that before too. Totally believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi Nurainen Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 With the possible exception of Rodden for Zanatta, probably our strongest side. Still waiting for the warm glow to kick in … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Not enthused with both Zanata & Cardle starting tho' not sure who should be in for one of them. Saunders not in the squad tho I suppose either full back could move inside if called on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Peebles Tackle Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Can't say he's not shaken things up a bit! Attack minded, good to have a couple of options on the bench too - will likely need it as don't see some of the starting XI having the legs for 90 mins in this weather. Need a win!

Dick Dastardly Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 4-5-1 ? Looks a bit defensive unless the midfield are going to get forward to support Graham. Wonder which of O’Ware and Brownley will play on the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Graham 2 in 125 minutes for the Jags. He's clearly not read the script about not being a goal scorer........................... Edited January 31, 2020 by Barney Rubble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garscube Road End Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 That was a good performance after a slow start. They seem to gain more confidence after Cole's close strike. Still concerned about our midfield though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi Nurainen Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Cardle and Zanatta (so far) causing a bit of trouble. Once we go three up I'd like to see Rudden on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arete Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I've liked the look of Graham. He's got an in about them style and should get goals at this level. But also if his teammates keep with him then they'll get scraps from his disrupting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrybriscoe Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 How many times do we see Fox diving the wrong way at penalties? Just stand your ground and make the penalty taker work for gawds sake. Diving early means my 3 yr old could put it away! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
