If you look at the SPL outside of the evil empire, over the last couple of seasons several "nobodies" have come in and done a decent job.
Indicative of weakness in the SPL? Probably
Cause for despondancy re our signings? No.
Not so much "magic" as "bizarre".....
Sitting in the SS for a game vs St Mirren in the early 80's and from somewhere behind us the "ultimate" insult?
"Hoy, McGarvey! Yer hair's PERMED!"
The last word genuinely spat out with real venom.
TF I compared the "raw" Willie Miller with young Zander yes.
And I am old enough to remeber Willie being a bit "rash" at times before he became "best penalty box defender in the world" (A.Ferguson quote)
Zander has the commitment and drive to be captain, need to learn the "nous". We'll only find out if he has it if he's given a shot at it.
I apologise for being a bit anal here....and renewing the whole Maguire/McGuire thing, but it's Magennis isn't it?
As opposed to MyGuinness, which you'd better leave well alone if you know what's good for you!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the young Willie Miller wasn't exactly reknowned for being his calm, implacable, perfect self when Ally made him captain was he. Still seemed to pick up red cards quite frequently if memory serves!
