Evidently he will based on his quotes upon signing. Although, there's no way your Assistant Manager who is a GK coach by trade won't be getting involved in it a bit. 57 minutes ago, ayrunitedfw said: Out of interest why was he seen as a joke figure amongst your fans? Was it due to him signing Ramsbottom? Just labelled as having great contacts and being some soft of super scout to then deliver Ramsbottom. Think too much was made of his scouting brief. He was here as GK coach and the keepers we had seemed to like him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was about to post exactly that. Makes no impact whatsoever on a preferred first eleven. McPherson has maybe seven more shots at doing so.

madton Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 He was a real prospect when he broke through but had a poor last season with us. I'm expecting some sort of improvement in his game and I'm interested to see what he's like now. Technically decent, good engine, not a bad signing just not sure if its a good signing yet.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Largs isnae a bad day oot, and The Fish Works might be the best chippy in Scotland, but I wish we'd have a proper away day tour once this Covid pish is over. Next season I want a tour of Argyll and Bute: Dunoon Ams, Rothesay Brandane, Oban Saints and Campbeltown Pupils. Other acceptable options include Caithness and Orkney, Cornwall and North Wales and Anglesey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#Gary Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 There was some talk when we signed Ledger about actually utilising him as a CB and Hynes playing RWB. Could we see a similar setup to the Scotland one? -----Ledger Lithgow Strapp----- Hynes----------------------Russell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Russell was a tremendous prospect in his younger days when he broke into the 1st team at a young age. Going past players with ease he looked class. Then he completely lost his way during the Duffy era and it was plain to see he needed to move away to get his career back on track. I hope he has found a new enthusiasm for the game again as he could be a decent player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Dunno if Strapp has the versatility for that "Tierney" role. If anything it might be the other way round with Russell coming out of defence? Edited June 22, 2021 by AsimButtHitsASix 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell is definitely a good footballer so could fit into the “quality over quantity” philosophy. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolka Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Russell was a good player for Harps, especially at LB / LWB. He had a few strong performances against some of the better teams in the division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Toon Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Mark Russell was always very good going forward but Duffy didn't know where to play him and he was in and out and lost confidence. Playing in front of Strapp he should do really well and I am really pleased to have him back. I think he is still potentially a higher league player but time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I'm going to confidently predict that whatever the plan is for the formation, Russell's not going to be playing centre back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Only SPFL minnows such as his former club Falkirk would think that is a good idea. (Yes, they did indeed play him there.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. Was it something to do with how he left Morton when McKinnon was there? Again I could be wrong! I didn’t realise how little Russell actually played for us. I suspected it was Hartley purely because it was a recurring theme with players during his time.
