Question Marks

I'm going to focus on the players who's place in the squad is most up in the air for next season and ignore the guys who will almost definitely be allowed to leave.

Barasic - Clearly the most talented left back at the club by some distance but injuries and mentality questions persist. Now we could almost certainly get the money we paid for him back off the back of him showing up well at international level, so do we do that or give him a full pre-season and see if we can reap the benefits of that? KEEP.

Polster - I wish i could comment on his ability, that i cannot is probably in itself quite damming or possibly he just needs a bit longer to adjust. I would happily see him leave if he wanted out but also think in keeping him it lets Flanagan cover LB and him RB meaning we could move Halliday on.
FREE TO GO.

Rossiter - The final year of his deal and he has finally had a long period of staying fit and being a stand out player for Bury. He's definitely got the quality imo and i would like to see him given a chance next season. Though I would be asking for us to have an option of an extra year makes sense because it would be tough to take if he played well for 6 months then signed pre-contract with someone else after Rangers doing so much to get him ready to play. KEEP

McCrorie - We are so heavily stocked in midfield that i would be happy to see McCrorie moved out on loan. If not it will be another season of mainly coming on late in games to help see them out. He just does not have enough in his locker going forward or creating yet so i would move him out on loan. LOAN OUT

Docherty - Asked to leave to play games and went down south and did exactly that, picking up the club's player of the year award. I didn't see enough in him when he played for us previously but what a fantastic attitude and engine the boy has. I'm all for him to be given another chance and if he can continue the goals up here could be a very good addition. - KEEP

Middleton - In a similar situation to McCrorie, he played a decent amount of minutes but he needs to play consistently to continue his improvement and with Jones and Murphy both available next season he would likely start 3rd choice. - LOAN OUT

Grezda - Another who goes into next season as 3rd choice in his position. He hasn't shown enough for me between his injures and i would look to sell him. SELL

Rudden - An excellent loan spell at Falkirk, with us looking to get rid of Morelos and Lafferty should Rudden be given a spot with us? I'm going to say keep as 3rd choice. KEEP

Hardie - Scores goals but i still don't think he's quite good enough for us. I would sell him if we got any interest - SELL

Dallas - Done well in the reserves, time for him to take a loan move and see if he can follow in the footsteps of the two above. - LOAN.

Couldn't disagree with too much of that.

Docherty definitely deserves a shot. But if he is going to play regularly it really has to be in Jacks position and I don't think SG will be binning Jack any time soon.

Deffo at a bit of a decision point with McCrorie. He really needs to be playing every week to develop as a first team player. And as much as he is useful to have around I would loan him out.

Same with Middleton.

Rudden I would think about loaning to an Prem team to see how he gets on.

Hardie is out of contract I think but he is under 23 so we would get a development fee for him I think.

Grezda has pace and ability but just doesn't fancy it. He can get tae.

Barisic is deffo worth another chance. Has all the attributes to be a top player except for cojones. Maybe he can grow a set over the summer.

Rossitter - sell him now for a couple of hundred k with a 50% sell on clause

You know with Rossiter if we keep him he'll almost certainly get injured for ages and if we sell him he'll be a world beater within a couple of seasons

McCrorie is a very good player.
He has just been unlucky that firstly Coulibaly and then more recently Kamara have been playing better and keeping him out of the team.
The first 2 OF games showed beyond any doubt that hes good enough for the first team squad.

Rossiter, I would just cut the losses and let him move on for free if anyone wants him; to free up a wage.
He was never fit at Liverpool and hes never been fit for any great spell with us.
He's a great wee player and seems like genuinely decent guy, but thats not enough if hes never going to play for us.

Of all the young players coming through, I am most excited by Dapo Mebude amd think he has a genuine chance at regular first team football this season.
If Lafferty's attitude isnt right again, as reports are suggesting) then he would be as well taking off as well.
He's still too inconsistent for me.
