Happy to have him back as a fourth striker if that's what's happening. Boy was a truer.
Simon Murray was a strange case. I don't think I have ever heard a Hibs manager rave about a potential new signing as Neil Lennon did about Murray before he brought him in. He couldn't wait to get him in the door. Despite playing well and scoring several goals including some absolute crackers, within a few months he was not starting games and then in the January window he was punted out on loan to Dundee. I could never understand why Lennon had such a change of opinion about the lad, specially as IMO he had been quite impressive in the games he played. He was pacy, skilful, energetic, hard working, and certainly had an eye for goal.
Question is would Ross want four strikers for his squad ? I certainly wouldn't want to see Gullan loaned out again. Murray also suffered a serious cruciate ligament knee injury when he was playing in South Africa. That would be a concern.
I liked him as a player, and normally I am not keen to see former players coming back. Every window there always seems to be rumours about former Hibs players returning or a clamour from fans to get someone back who was here before. My thoughts are that If we could afford to bring him in to compete for a forward spot with our other strikers then fine. It gives us another forward option. He would add further goal threat and pace and energy, however IMO we really do need to prioritise on improving our defence before bringing in another striker.
Rat Boy out Docherty as a straight swap.
Murray in, didn’t know about his injury but no doubt our medical staff will assess him if we are at all interested.
Done deal?
He scored 14 in 29 last time.Not good enough for me. We need strikers that have a decent scoring ratio. Wonder what his assist stats are.
What is?
I thought you were implying Rat boy for Docherty was done.
would be nice but reckon wages'll scupper that one.Oh no sorry, I read today that SG was trying to get rid of Docherty and they are seemingly interested in Rat Boy, just me hoping a straight swap would be an ideal solution.

Nothing in it, was in reference to the replayed games that he scored in, next!
As I said earlier if someone like Murray was to come in to give the manager another striking option and we could afford him then fine, but like yourself, I don't want to see anything blunt Gullan's development and I think he will feature in the first team much more often next season.Good,We’ve moaned for ages that we don’t give youth a chance and we’ve got a hungry young striker that was banging them in at Raith last season.
I’d rather give Gullan his chance.

Agree mate but finance wise I can’t see us signing another striker while The Rat is still here,they might even use Boyle in that role in future.We still need another striker in when Rat Boy moves on, I would hate for any injuries to happen and we only had three strikers.

Only the Old Firm have won the Scottish Cup more times than Queens Park.Fascinating to see where queens go from here. About 130 years late mind.
They'll have a bit of cash to flash after selling Hampden. Can see them doing well.

Nae wonder, every final was a home game!Good to see our oldest club showing some ambition...something depressingly lacking in the scottish game in general in my opinion.
