The source is Football Insider which lists Just as an Australian international. 🙈 I’m sure some clubs will be monitoring Elijah but this is an example of the worst lazy journalism to shoehorn old firm into article. 

But we all know Elijah is a kiwi international

The reality is we're not going to improve that area because of the 2 we have there plus Jordan McGhee who can also play there. They're also 2 different type of RB's Sparrow is more attacking gets himself into decent areas going forward where as SOD is a bit more defensive and has simplified his game which has made him look better. I think people are getting carried away with how good we've been this season our target each season as stated by the board is 10th. The majority of the time we qualify for Europe is because 1 or 2 out of Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen have a poor season. We've also surely got to be looking at the seasons under Graham Alexander and SK where we've had like 30 contracted players with about 10 of them not making more than 5 appearances. I think 2 per position with academy players making up the squad when we get injuries is the approach we should be taking hence the reason I don't see us signing another RB.

We currently have two right backs and two left backs. SODs is a right back who is a more than adequate emergency centre half and JK who can do a reasonable job covering on the left. Longelo we know is excellent on his day, whereas Wilson may not be up to the task and is getting very little chance to develop at Raith. I'd try to move Wilson on find a better backup option for that position. Sparrow is a midfielder who can cover at right back, but he's not great there, and he's even worse at left back. McGhee is a midfielder that can do a job at centre half and I like him, so I hope he sticks around for a while.
