ok mate thanks for the reply.
The way the guy was talking about him suggested that the boy is only 16 or 17 which would explain why he isn't in the first team plans as much this season, maybe he isn't 'grown up' enough to start games.
The guy seemed quite adamant that this player is a diamond in the rough though, i don't even think the lad has played for scotland at any sort of level.
i'll keep an eye out for him this year.
