I was told from a good source that we were getting Calvin Miller on loan from Celtic a while ago once the season begins but there's also rumours of Nesbitt coming back. I'm sure we're only allowed 2 players on loan from the same club so it won't be both of them coming. Doohan is a development loan. We could actually still get 2 full loans from Celtic if the clubs wanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I forgot about that. We could get both then but I wouldn't be surprised if we only got Miller as he can play both at left wing and left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 We had Donnelly, Lindsay and Nesbitt all from Celtic last season as well... Would Take Nesbitt first if we had the choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-TON Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 We seem to have a good deal going on with Celtic. They use our facilities for their development matches, giving the club some extra income and we get to bring some good young talent in to beef up the squad, at least we aren't lying down to them. I had a look of some highlights of Miller when it was first suggested and he looks like a handful. Nesbitt was our most dangerous player near the end of last season too, he's got potential but is still a little rough round the edges. I reckon we will bring both in if given the option to. Anyone got any further scope on the keeper? Not familiar with him at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Lewis Strapp off to Elgin Can't say I've heard anything about him. What should we expect? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only started 6 games for us and at that it's been end of season dead rubbers or early season cup games with the squad still coming together, but he's looked really promising in those appearances and we're confident he'll go on to be a solid player at this level in time for Mark Russell getting a move. Of the current group of youngsters he's the highest rated by a distance. He's still only 17 so there's plenty of time for him to develop, but from what I've seen he's solid defensively while not having much to his game going forward. A playoff challenging League Two side should be a good level for him to get his first regular spell of first team football, interested to see how he gets on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton aren't exactly the usual type of club that have supplied us with players recently so I'm intrigued by this signing. Hopefully it goes well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we rarely develop players, we usually lose them just as they start showing potential, so it's a nice change giving players like Strapp the opportunity to go out on loan to get first team football, there's no doubt it'll make him a better player. Both he and another boy that's with us Scott Tiffoney were down training with Swansea just at pre season there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Anyone got any idea how Mitchell Duffy is getting on with your U20s? Squad number 33 going by your website Remember him signing a while ago and just wondered. Very briefly worked with him at U14s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding midfielder but think he's been full back whenever he's turned out for Morton. Tbh, I was surprised he was still there. Hadn't heard anything about him since he signed properly. Someone else I worked with just signed for you this week too so reminded me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreElgin Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 How was Strapp today? I wasn't there but a lot of people have said he played very well, comfortable on the ball and set up one of our goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
