I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong, that was the only header he scored for us so it wasn't like he was prolific at them. He just had that bit extra about him that day which has resulted in people clamouring for him to sign for us permanently since. He was definitely a decent enough player for this level but he hit a good bit of form at the right time which has left him being something of a cult figure almost. 

Wasn’t hard to love the guy. He played at level 10 intensity all the time and gave his all. Think a lot of us felt there was a proper player in there.

What made me want him back more is he was replaced effectively by Isma and Akio !

Remember Ethan Varian. I remember he scored against Aberdeen and that’s about it.

Great link for anyone looking to see previous squads. 

Ideally, you want a striker who's ruthless. Ethon Varian was the polar opposite. He had an abundance of ruth. His ruth cup overfloweth.

I really liked Varian. Never seen a striker win more headers for us, ever. Shame there was no c**t within 25 yards of him whenever he did. 

Two league goals, I think - Ayr and Arbroath?

On the subject of us dominating the Challenge Cup, I was in Ljubljana in Slovenia this week and had a spare half-hour - so cycled out to the home of NK Bravo, where our cup final hero Matej Poplatnik now plies his trade. Unfortunately wasn't able to fit a game into the schedule, but did visit the club shop/bar to pick up a scarf for the collection. Nice wee club, the guys in the office said Matej has started this season well, but were a bit perplexed when I told them the reason he had a big bandage in the Challenge Cup Final was that he'd headed the ball with such force he ripped his ear open on an opponent's boot.

Apologies this is only peripherally related to the Rovers, but with not much to moan about at the moment, it at least helps to pass the time before the next game 😉

Love a wee story about some random team, wherever I go on holiday etc I always visit the stadium in town if they have a team👏🏻

Rumour of a striker coming in on loan. Thought it might have been defensive cover but interesting if it comes to fruition. 

Thar makes sense, we only have one centre forward in the squad at the moment.

Doesn't look like we are getting a Friday night game this season. Had a look at the bbc scotland schedule and we aren't on it.

There will be two home games at some point. They've not even announced half of the games in the contract yet.
