Fuctifano Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) Good to see us taking early action as well. Of the others that are out of contract in 2025 I'd be looking to extend Diack, with a view to getting him out on loan for the first half of the upcoming season, and Milne, though Harry at 28 at the end of next season is starting to run out of time to have a crack at the top flight if he doesn't make it with us, so I could see him holding off. Everyone else can be assessed nearer the time. edit: squad summary for now in spoiler tags Spoiler 2025 McCready, Milne, Williams, O'Reilly, Bannigan, Lyon, Robinson, Taggart*, Turay*, Diack* 2026 Fitzpatrick, Lawless, Graham, Stanway, MacKenzie 2027 McBeth *modern apprentice Edited May 23 by Fuctifano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudia Gentile Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I'm not one to get overly excited by close-season contract news but we'll probably piss our way to being league winners in 2024/25. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagar Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I didn't fancy McBeth at first. He gas come on to a great game. Good news about his contract extension. A few more strikes like the beauty at Airdrie would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many other Luke McBeth's are currently playing in the lower leagues ? .I hope our scouting system uncovers some other rough diamonds for Dools and Co to polish up . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine since he didnt have a background playing for a club academy at youth level he didnt have the contacts to get in at even a League 1 or League 2 level. We seem to have taken a punt and gave him a trial based on a recommendation and he has thrived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there is more to come. I am sure I read that McBeth was recommended to us by ex Jag Gary Fraser who is at Glenafton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can pick up the ball and drive us forward from the back or from midfield too. Edited May 23 by Thistle_do_nicely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Relatively pleased with that. It’s not the most glamorous signing but he’s a known quantity at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can pick up the ball and drive us forward from the back or from midfield too. I think what someone like him gives us is an option to change formation mid match without wasting subs. Him being comfortable both in central defence and defensive midfield means we can easily drop to a 5 if and when required. Its a very good option to have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts had a decent season with Morton. I just assumed he would take Alston's place in the squad but seems we have an offer to keep him as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
