Sorry Ed I might have hit send on a post too early just prior to this one (feel free to delete this part)
I was just having a think about our recruitment from within Scotland over the years and in my lifetime (born early 90s) there's been surprisingly few players who have moved from another Scottish team directly to us.
With the above criteria (favourite player, not best) - who would your 3 favourites be, in your lifetime only?
For me;
1. Neil McCann
2. Nacho Novo
3. Claudio Caniggia
Honourable mention for Kenny Miller but he became a favourite in his later spells for me, not during his first spell after the move from Hibs.
24 Jul 2025 22:50:09
1. The Goalie
2.Davie Robertson
3.Boyd.
24 Jul 2025 22:52:11
Kris Boyd.
24 Jul 2025 22:59:35
Cannigia is the best
Kamara
Novo/ thompson.
24 Jul 2025 23:24:41
Latapy, Big Marv and Cannigia.
24 Jul 2025 23:26:59
Ian Ferguson
John Brown
Andy Goram.
24 Jul 2025 23:30:21
Goram easily the best imo followed by David Robertson and close call between McCann and Cannigia.
24 Jul 2025 23:31:10
The goalie Ian ferguson novo Aloko.
24 Jul 2025 23:38:54
Davie Cooper
Alex Macdonald
Colin Stein.
25 Jul 2025 00:25:08
If it's in my lifetime Davie Cooper stands out but lots of others.
Ian Ferguson, Bomber Brown, Neil McCann, David Robertson to name just a few.
We're definitely missing a trick dismissing players in this market.
25 Jul 2025 00:32:35
Forgot all about Ian Ferguson, Goram, Robertson, Ferguson for me now.

That era was when I was at age to really started to take a proper interest.

If I can remember reading maradona book he said 1 of the best players he played with was canniga. I stick with the great man's word.
25 Jul 2025 07:55:07
We signed George (Dandy) McLean from St Mirren.

Davie cooper
Super ally MCcoist

25 Jul 2025 08:58:04
Forgot about Cooper as well, he needs to be in a top three.
25 Jul 2025 09:03:22
Tommy McLean, Alex McDonald, Davie Robertson, John Greig ( but from Juniors, Whitburn I think)
25 Jul 2025 09:36:02
Goram
Gough
Baxter
Cooper.
25 Jul 2025 11:27:23
INTR MCcoist was signed from Sunderland mate

25 Jul 2025 12:30:40
Criteria, has to be signed from within Scotland.
Goram, obviously I forgot to mention in my above reply and I clearly should have given him a mention.
25 Jul 2025 12:39:24
So top 3
Cooper
Goram
The last very close but I'm going to say
Ian Ferguson.
25 Jul 2025 12:49:54
BAR72 you are spot on with John Greig, But he never played a single game with Whitburn. ?????????.
