If we were going to bring a loan player in from our rivals, the Welsh deal worked almost perfectly for all parties. We won a watch, he won a move and, you have to say, the points he helped us win against Hearts and Rangers, didn't exactly hinder Celtic's league challenge. The one regret was O'Neill's pathetic recall, seemingly just to cup tie him, but at least they didn't make a killing on his move to Swansea.

wellfan Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Welsh was an established pro who wanted minutes to get away from Celtic, and we benefited from that. Rice is different. He chose Rangers over a pro deal at Motherwell, spent four years on the fringes, and stalled his own development. We shouldn’t be the club rebuilding a player’s career for a direct rival. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, if he stayed with us he'd likely have 50+ first team appearances and ready for a move to a team that want hom as a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Last minute loans to fill an identified gap that we werent able to fill with a permanent player is fine, particularly if that player has quality beyond what you can normally afford. But this early in the window we should be tying up longer term targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But probably no money in the bank, looks like he did exactly what Hastie done . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short term, no doubt, but I imagine Lennon Miller will be earning more over his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were "rescued" as the media loves to say when a new consortium took them over in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
