Stevie Mallan will be a really good signing for us, but I don't think he is a direct replacement for McGinn should he go. I think he will play the McGeough or possibly the Scott Allan role, that's if Celtic price him to high for us. Which leaves us light in mid field. A great signing tho, I remember his 25yrd free kick over the wall to beat Marciano. Nice to have a free kick expert, csn't remember the last one.

Yes Big L you can remember the last free kick expert we had. Big Frank Sauzee.

Short memories - surely Griffiths and (to lesser extent) Cummings took a mean free kick.

Completely agree Big L, Mallan will prove to be a great bit of business. Lennon has targeted him since taking over at ER such is his admiration for the boy, hence the four year deal. Completely different player to SJM, very similar type to Scott Allan but they are good enough to be able to play in the same side if we can secure the latter. With SJM likely to move to Celtic with SA being part of the deal I wouldn't be surprised if this meant more game time for Bartley or Whittaker in the defensive midfield area allowing Mallan and Allan to try and unlock the opposition's defence. I expect Slivka to be more prominent this season in the starting line-up after Dylan's departure. It wouldn't shock me if Mallan eclipses Dylan!

The two mentioned scored a handful between them, great players tho they were. The player I liked the most in that era was wee Latapy, what a touch. What a football brain. You have to wonder how much he would be worth at todays transfer levels. He was absolutely immense in the 6-2 humbling of the great unwashed. I was trying to work it out, they must have a squad of 34 players call the administrators, again!
