Looks like Cole McKinnon headed to Partick Thistle on loan.
We do like sending youth to Ian mcall.

Sweep it’s about development, give them a chance.
Has to be better than lowland league where u continually point out they won’t develop.
Every player exception of Alegria has progressed to Scot age group teams. And increased in value.

Good move for the lad, get 30/ 35 games under his belt in the championship then have a look at him again next preseason. Take a bit of pressure off us, I doubt we could give enough game time to McCann, Lowry and him this season.

I'm asking how many players has it worked for John? You seem to be very quick at bringing what others said in the past but don't like it done to yourself.

John25, I think the obvious point sweep was making was, we have sent a to McCall, how many gave came back to our first eleven or even to the squad?
Tbh, I don't know, but can't recall any?

We're still waiting on the boys maturing and developing sweep. If we get one first teamer every couple of years from academy we're doing well.

Sadly few managers give youth the chance as fans like u demand instant success. thought after last season us agreed to quit the negativity sweep. More and more of our kids are getting picked up each year so must be doing something right.

Sweep I said them all. Ed obviously not shown it yet.

{Ed001's Note - nothing has come through to me John - I don't know if Ed33 will find it later as one of those posts the spam filter has not liked the look of or if it has just vanished into the ether somewhere.}

Bar 72. U well know one or two players come through every couple of years.
What I’m saying and evidence backs it players progress under mcall.
A few playing for Scotland under 21s, attract interest
Ross Mccrorie. Played under mcall moved to our first team then Aberdeen. Many under 21 caps success
Jordan Houston, progress. We still have first refusal on him, I never see that happening
Zak rudden, progressed to Dundee.
Mayo, done well at. Thistle, under 21 mainstay, back at firhill progress. Although imo will leave us.
Alegria, jury out.
Kelly, success. Should be closer to our first team squad, allegedly fall out with Wilso.

Mcall was a best friend of McAllister and Gerrard Gio Wilson happy to send players to thistle including Cervantes, Firth breen wright hastie Kennedy heading there, Maxwell who has now left rangers
Granted couple these players not even good enough for thistl let alone rangers.
