I always thought it odd MacLean didn't get more of a chance last season when our squad was absolutely gutted with injury.

It seems clear, however, that Robinson just doesn't think he's kicked on to the level required - and while you do get some late developers, at 20-21 if he's not obviously good enough for our 18, he's probably better moving somewhere else and hoping to build his career slowly a la Craigan/Lawless.

I can hardly remember a youth player we've freed going on to prove us really wrong, I'd be pretty surprised if MacLean breaks that trend.
