Well He's had a great first half tonight v Kilmarnock scoring two good goals and unlucky not to get a third, he's certainly settled well at Dundee.
Who was that bloke we had who couldn't score in brothel down here, but filled his boots at Hibs? Difficult to compare England and Scotland these days. Go back to the 70s and 80s and top quality Jocks were all over the place...
Good luck to the lad, people forget our league is s hit now. The football this season is awful to watch.
Nobody has mentioned that the lad might have actually wanted to leave. Stockton lad so probably not even a lads fan. He was in the last year if his contract and if he had made his intentions clear then there's not much the club could have done other than let him go while they could install some future clauses. What I bet is it's all come down to is exactly the same thing as with Maja and that's Short still biting us on the arse when he refused to hand out anymore contracts.

Ally McCoist was excellent for us, but was given away because of back room friction between Tom Cowie another well intentioned disaster, and Alan Durban a great manager imo.
My dad said McCoist was rubbish (McCoist said McCoist was rubbish too) 8 goals in 56 games for a centre forward isn’t exactly sparkling. And a record of better than 1 in 2 at Rangers. Scored 7 before October in one season then never scored again Dad says Durban was the best manager he’d seen mind! I’m too young to remember as I wasn’t born until 75
Yeah. My Granddad always told me that McCoist just couldn't cut it down here. However, I think he was only 19/20, at the time. Still a young pup.
Last game I saw from McCoist he scored a worldy, i was perfectly placed behind the flight of the ball and it was one of those moments you never forget, so perhaps my views on Ally are a bit clouded and your Dad may have been correct. From my same seat in the grandstand I was lucky enough to see Vic Halom score the very same goal against Man City in our famous cup run. In my defence, when Alan Durban bought McCoist he said he was one for the future, and he was slowly building a superb team when Cowie started to intervene, this led to friction between the two of them and of course Durban was sacked and in came Lenny the Lion and the rest is history as they say. By the way I watched the documentary on the Doobie Brothers last night and the first half of the programme was great, that Tom Johnston was also under rated at the time, statistics aren't everything Markus, sometimes you have to follow your instincts, cheers.
McCoist was filling Lord Rowells boots who had suffered the injury he would never quite recover from, a tough ask for a kid in a bottom end team.
I wasn't alive but I didn't think Rowell was an out and out striker like McCoist? I thought he was mainly used in midfield? My Granddad said be was the best penalty taker that Sunderland ever had.
