Heid_The_Baw Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 For me, Regan Hendry was probably the best loanee we ever got. Guy is a masterclass in midfieldery. More recently, Connor O'Reilly the 18 year old lad we had on loan from Crewe was mature beyond his years and I reckon could play in the English Premiershit soem day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Allan McGregor was a decent loan. Probably made more saves with us than in the rest of his career since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not that good but definitely one of the better ones we’ve had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Ryan Hardie was another good loan signing for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Kevin Smith (2008/09). Scored 18 league goals and we'd almost certainly not have won the league without him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Scott Tiffoney as mentioned, is the first who comes to mind in recent years at Thistle. Steven Bell on loan from East Kilbride was arguably just as important at the other end. Would also throw in Steven Anderson on loan from St Johnstone a few seasons ago under Gary Caldwell. Lewis Mayo from Rangers perhaps deserves a mention too, he was relatively solid for the most part and seems to have done well since leaving us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I think Peter Lindau was on loan originally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Difficult one - but I will go with Michael Hector. Class defender in those early McInnes days, chipped in with a memorable screamer vs Thistle - and ultimately got himself a big money move to Chelsea (and never played for them!). Honourable mentions for Danny Ward, Ryan Christie, Alex di Rocco and Sone Aluko. James Maddison may be the obvious one for many, but other than THAT goal, his contribution ended up being peripheral as Derek didn't really trust him enough to even guarantee him a start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhame Buddie Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 As mentioned above we’ve had some outstanding loanees but the deal that brought Lewis Morgan back on loan for half a season was a master stroke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellichtie Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Nouble probably the obvious one but Lee Erwin had a blinder for us about 10 seasons ago on loan from Motherwell. Always wanted to see him do well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sortmeout Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 We’ve had some absolute crackers however the best has to be Eremenko. Anyone who saw him during his best run in Scottish football (the first time with Mixu) would hopefully agree that he was too good for Kilmarnock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 2 hours ago, D'Jaffo said: Aye he was signed a fullback/centre back and played just about everywhere but there. Was really good out wide on the right. Was strong for his age and had a good turn of pace. He was also excellent in central midfield - I’m sure he played there on his debut v Airdrie and was very good! So much energy, direct running and broke up play well too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, DA Baracus said: Would be interesting to what sort of loan XI fans could put together. Will think about a Pars one. GK: Kieran Wright RB: Andy Wilkinson LB: Callum Booth CB: Niall Keown CB: Steven Anderson RM: Chris Erskine LM: Scott Tiffoney CM: Graham Dorrans CM: Prince Buaben ST: Lyle Taylor ST: Steven Craig All picks are based on their actual loan spell rather than any permanent spells. I’ve no doubt forgotten a couple of decent ones as it was a struggle to pick a CM to go beside Dorrans. There’s few decent defenders like Jack McMillan, Lewis Mayo and Jordan Turnbull that miss out.

Oaft that’s a good one. GK: Ross Doohan RB: Ross McCrorie CB: Ryan McGowan CB: Alex Kirk LB: Corrie Ndaba RM: Josh Mullin CM: Kerr McInroy CM: Stephen Kelly LM: Logan Chalmers ST: Ryan Stevenson ST: Craig Moore Cheating a wee bit as McCrorie never actually played right back for us although it was his natural position at the time. Eta: Had to make some changes as I forgot some important guys. Edited August 15, 2023 by D'Jaffo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
