Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Looks like it's a keeper on loan from Aberdeen. On the same article. Manager Gary Locke continues his efforts to further strengthen the squad ahead of the big kick off on Friday 15th July when we travel to face Cove Rangers FC at Forfar in the Betfred Cup. http://www.raithrovers.net/25323/gday-to-aaron-lennox.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Well, that's a bit random. Don't have any feelings either way on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicsco Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I don't get why ! We have a keeper that's won this division ! We have back up under contract ! Unless we are getting him for free I don't see the point ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 A season long loan to sit on the bench, weird one that. Unless Cuthbert's attracted interest from another club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Really odd. Can only assume Laidlaw/McGurn aren't content to sit on the bench unless they're given a fair chance in friendlies/early cup matches. Signing a back-up (presumably) goalie on loan does seem a bit daft on the surface but there must be something else to it we don't know about. If Lennox is coming into play, on the other hand, things have gotten really bizarre.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Fife Online saying Locke wants to keep Laidlaw but has discounted McGurn entirely as he's part-time - Arbroath on the cards. https://t.co/qlHapHueBY?ssr=true If he's trying to sign Laidlaw I have absolutely no idea why we've signed Lennox... Worth noting too that Locke will not even have met McGurn, never seen him play but isn't at all interested in keeping him. Maybe it's because it's Davie and he's the best goalkeeper in history but that seems out of line to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Notice that this keeper is 23....can't recall what the loan rules are but does that mean we've used up our only option to loan an older player? In any event this makes no sense. Never see the point in loaning a keeper unless he's going to be first choice. Might be adding 2 and 2 and making 13 but just got this horrible feeling that something's happened with Cuthbert. I can't imagine Lennox will be coming down to sit on the bench for the whole season... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove Rangers have signed Mitch Megginson, incidentally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydog Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 In the words of the Otara Millionaires Club, "how bizarre, how bizarre!" I wonder, could long time admirer Raymond be about to make a bid for the Cat? Doe's seem very strange at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Good grief, I hasn't even cinsidered the age. I'm sure we're allowed 1 player over 21. I take my ambivalence back - this makes no sense at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a legend like that at the Rovers wouldn't want to go to a Fife rival? We really are needing a keeper and if we get McGurn signed a spine of him, Ricky Little, McCord, Whatley, Prunty and Doris would be superb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Arbroath putting together an impressive squad may swing it for McGurn - would consider them favorites at this moment in time. Depends on training etc. though due to distance involved and work commitments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on training etc. though due to distance involved and work commitments. I hope so but I did see someone say he's went for Cowden but that was a week ago and there's still been no confirmation anywhere so hopefully it was just a guess due to the fact he was set to sign for us last Wednesday according to Scott Binnie and it never happened. If he comes we'll take good care of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varna Rover Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Clearly two of our keepers will be away. currently we have 4 and this lad makes 5. two will be gone by the weekend i suggest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Clearly two of our keepers will be away. currently we have 4 and this lad makes 5. two will be gone by the weekend i suggest. Law and Laidlaw were on the out of contract list. McGurn is clearly out the door. So presnetly we have 3 keepers contracted, Cuthbert, McGurn and Lennox and McGurn is obviously a goner. Still, nice to see us using our over 21 loan on a guy we all expect to not see that much game time. I really hope he knows what he's doing regarding forward options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR #1 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I expect this guy will be our first choice. Surely even Locke would not be stupid enough to waste the 21+ loan on someone to warm the bench. Cuthbert to United seems a reasonable assumption. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's assuming something hasn't happened in the background re Cuthbert. Even if Cuthbert did leave there's no reason why a little come and go couldn't have been put in place to allow McGurn to step back into the number 1 role and then retain Laidlaw as back up. The Witch is more than capable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take my ambivalence back - this makes no sense at all. You are allowed one player on loan domestically who was born before 1st January 1995. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
