Good on him, good to see him coming back to the SPFL with Queen's Park.

We picked Josh Watt up after he'd been released by Motherwell in 2013, I think, but Martyn Corrigan never really used him and punted him on a short-term loan to East Stirlingshire. After Corrigan lost his job, Watt came into the team under Brown Ferguson's temporary charge before really cementing his place in the starting XI under Scott Booth.

For the last three months of the 2013-14 season he was excellent and genuinely exciting to watch. He was a pure winger - he could beat people, drive forward, put in crosses and he was generally our most dangerous player. There was a match against Brechin City on the final day of the campaign and he was superb, a real thrill.

Booth offered Josh a new contract for the next season (2014-15) and everyone had high hopes for him but it never happened at all. Josh had his moments - he scored the winning goals in consecutive games against Stranraer and Peterhead to give the team back-to-back victories for the first time in over 18 months - but he never seemed to do the right thing when he was on the ball. He'd try to beat his man again when he should have fired the ball in first time, and he should have held up play rather than crossing, that kind of thing. His decision-making was particularly poor and fans were pretty quick to get on his back; he seemed to become a target for supporters. Josh was excellent in the play-off semi-final first leg against East Fife but that was another rare high point from that year. It wasn't too big a surprise to see him leave when our safety was confirmed against QP.

I recorded a podcast with Colin McMenamin a couple of months ago and he spoke really highly of Josh Watt and his abilities but said by the time Bomber replaced Booth, his confidence was shattered and he never quite regained the form he had at the end of 2013-14. Get him going and you've got a good asset there.

Come to think of it, he reminds me a bit of Sean Burns.

Josh watt was on loan at airdrie a few seasons ago and he was easily a stand out for us, could beat people as you said scored a couple goals as well. Playing with Cumnock juniors now.
