I think MacDonald would be a bold gamble. He has spent a lot of time off the tools lately and has had no less than nine knee operations, the latest of which was in the winter just past. A doctor recommended his retirement when he was twenty-nine and, since then, an idiopathic foot condition has also kept him from playing. None of that bodes well. Consider also that with Clyde he'd be playing on astroturf more often than not. Astroturf, of course, being infamously bad for players with injury backgrounds like his. If, against the odds, he stayed fit and mobile, his signature would obviously be a coup. For Clyde or East Kilbride, whose interest pre-dates ours, according to the same paper.
