BucksburnDandy Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Fully agree with the sentiments above. For a number of seasons, he was your stick on right back in team of the season for the SPL/Premiership. Solid professional and a very underrated full back. Hopefully Saints find a place for him in the staff. A true club legend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Really shite news to wake up to. a true club legend and a superb player and captain for us. Wonder if there will be a testimonial for him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LANG TOON SAINTIE Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I was told by someone within the club that TW was wanting to keep him on in a coaching roll but SB fovoured negotiating a deal to release him from his contract....We will just need to wait and see 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsjfc Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Gary Mackay Steven has two wishes left. One of my abiding memories of the cup final is Mackay, heading for his own goal line in the last few minutes, turning and leaving GMS for dead. He must hate him [emoji1] Dave Mackay encapsulates the reasons for this squad's successes over the last few years. There's the obvious stuff - he's an organiser, hard working and very good defensively. But he also had a sometimes underrated talent on the ball and, most importantly, that little bit of belief and swagger that can be the mental difference between nearly winning and winning. When we won at Ibrox 3-1 in the cup last year, Mackays post-match chat wasn't about what a great achievement the result was, it was a tirade about why saints weren't considered favourites for the game in the first place. That self belief and confidence has what's made this team so enjoyable to follow over the last five years or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Callum Davidson will be the next Saints manager. Don't know why but got a feeling he won't be any good as a manager. He never overly impresses me in interviews or as a pundit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be averse to Mackay being Davidson assistant if he does all the relevant badges etc. As he surely has a lot to offer the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 The meedja hyped them up but we Kent we'd beat thum and we did. Dave Mackay has to be kept at the club in some capacity. He's been such a good servant to us and will be a huge asset as part of the back room team as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'd be surprised if we never found a role for Mackay. That won't stop folk making up numerous rumours about Steve Brown forcing him out the club in the intervening months before a new roles announced though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Pack Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Great player who will be sorely missed.Here's hoping he's a future Saints manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
