Paul has last laugh after Scotland U21 call-up

MIDFIELDER Paul Coutts reckons his Scotland Under-21 call-up proves Aberdeen were wrong to snub him.

 

Coutts was ditched by the Dons as a 15-year-old for being too small, but rebuilt his career at Cove Rangers.

 

The 20-year-old sealed a move to English Division 1 side Peterborough United in the summer from Cove.

 

Now a regular for the Posh, Coutts has been called up to the young Scots side to face Northern Ireland at New Hamilton Park, Hamilton on Tuesday.

 

He said: “Aberdeen let me go when I was 15 because they claimed I was too small.

 

“They thought I would not be able to get around the pitch because of that, which was disappointing.

 

“Now I am proving them wrong by playing regularly for Peterborough and being selected for the Scotland Under-21s.

 

“I am having the last laugh.â€

 

The 2007/08 Highland League Player of the Year was snapped up on a three-year deal by Peterborough gaffer Darren Ferguson in the summer.

 

And now he has his sights focused on starring for the young Scots, who also include Aberdeen’s Chris Maguire.

 

“Billy Stark called the gaffer and told him he had been to watch a few of our games and that he would include me in the next squad,†Coutts said.

 

“Hopefully I will get a run out against Northern Ireland. The Scotland call is a confidence boost, especially as I was playing Highland League a few months ago.

 

“I was determined to grab my chance and have now made 11 starts.

 

“Division 1 suits me because it is more geared towards the passing game.

 

“We are in the play-off positions so hopefully we can win promotion.â€

Eh? I hated the cunt when he played for US, before he played for the other two. The fact he scored a small percentage of what he should have was a huge reason we were almost relegated in the first place. Cunt of a player.

 

I was biting my tongue, but being accused of simply not liking the guy cos he went on to play for the vermin and vermin Utd is not on. It runs far deeper than that, as you may have noticed...
