Who is ready for the top flight?

[tHeArAb]

If we're judging players who are deemed ready for the top flight on how they played against Hibs in the cup then Powers is on his way to Celtic and Butcher is going to The FUN on a free.It was 2 games, that's it.

For what it's worth I'd say Shankland, Appere and Siegrist are the obvious no brainers. Liam Smith for me is good enough for the step up too.

Harkes, McMullan, Robson and Sicknote(Pawlett) need to really step up and hopefully Powers gets up to speed after a good pre season and proves his doubters wrong.

Wouldn't mind Butcher sticking around too as he can fill in a few positions and obviously the young anes that broke through are exempt from any cull so I'll not include any of them.

The rest I'm no fussed aboot.

Its an indicator of how they'd fair against better opposition. However if you read my entire post, you will see that the players aren't just being judged on those two games. I've said Robson has been awful post injury and let's be honest, most of his career he's flattered to deceive other than 4 months at the start of the season. I also said I don't see Smith getting any better and is poor in an attacking sense. I was expecting more from him if I'm being honest.
I wasn't convinced on Butcher the first time round either but he's worth a second chance given how much he influenced our season last year.
