Signing lower league players

[Purple & Green]

We don’t seem to do it anymore. In fact no one does do they?

Once you’re part time after your first pro contract ends, there’s not a pathway back to full time football.

just musing

We just signed Mackay?

Plus of course Nisbet last year.

We just signed Mackay?

Yes and Nisbet season before but they were both full time.

i think there might be a few gems in the bottom two leagues, but we don’t seem to even consider part timers?

Too much of a step up these days I would say for us to sign a part time player and expect them to be able to perform for us at the level we expect

I think the last time we signed a wad of lower league players and played them we got relegated under Duff Jimmy

I doubt there's any players outside of the Scottish championship capable of making a direct step from part time to full time.

Anyone with enough potential bility, will need to move to the championship first and perform before being looked at with any seriousness.

Scouting is too advanced nowadays for "gems" to be missed.

Down south however, there's so many leagues and players that there could be room, but even then, there's a pyramid in place that they need need climb to prove it.
