Scott Wright

[57vintage]

Not good enough to play for Deeko's Dons but good enough to start in a Europa League final and score in a Cup Final. Says it all about McInnes who also did not rate Shankland. I well remember us looking forward to seeing Wright on the field as he was trying to break through into the team but all he got was 10-15 minutes at the end of a game. No wonder he wanted to leave.

Not how I remember it.

In his final season, Wright’s partnership with Hedges looked very promising until he ruptured a sock or something. We looked after him yet again after an injury, and there was a contract on offer to him before he ratted on us by signing a pre-contract agreement with the filth. There are not nearly enough insults and profanity in this planet’s many languages to describe my distaste for his and The Snake’s duplicity and treason.

Shankland was a lazy idle shagbag with an attitude issue which he himself admitted later on. My Ayr-supporting pal concurred, as did the Ayr support after he seemed to down tools with a third of the season to go. He’s now looking to come back from Beerschott (5 goals/26 appearances), pretty much proof that his flash-in-the-pan cameo with TSMSTID was temporary. Hearts are interested apparently, which is more than he ever was.

Yep, that pretty much covers it.

We got 6 good months in 4 years out of that wee rat shyte. That was mostly down to having Hedges and Watkins to play off as the 3 did link well.

Outside that, the boy was always a massive shytebag who hid in numerous big games. Thats why he rarely featured, waste of a shirt most weeks.

The fact he’s made of blancmange meant the physios also saw far more of him than we did.

Then the cherry on the cake is fuucking us over for the hun - the boys puddle slurping pond life, his family should be ashamed of him and themselves.

I dont usually wish ill will to players, but id happily cheer a career ender for either him or his equally loathsome snake pal.

Shankland as you say was just a waster when he was here, something which he fully admitted himself. Its to his credit he sorted himself out - not many wasters do - and has had a reasonably successful career.

The decision to get rid was absolutely correct at the time though so lets not rewrite history folks eh…
