    Panic signings because our form has dipped, nah.
    Hopefully this is being carefully considered because any player coming in January has to be good enough for the Premiership.
    Exactly this.

    He is out of contract at the end of the season and as such is available for pre contract in 12 days time. Whether Rovers would accept a marginal fee right now given their position however is questionable. And would Stanton even want to come back anyway??????
    Has signed 2 yr extension at Raith

    Good, he's rank anyway. Never rated him if you can't tell. 🙂

    He's a "no bad" player, that's about it. Nowhere near the level of player we require just now though. Did some good stuff (not nearly enough)

    Always felt he went AWOL when really needed, and a wee bit oh a Scaredy Cat, when DEFO required.

    And.........nearly burstin' in tae tears, when being interviewed, didn't convince me, he had the strength of mentality to fight in the trenches.

    Shame if he has those issues, but we need winners just now, nae safties allowed!!!

    Thon pass that split our defence in half last week, wasnae bad though. I don't think there's anyone capable of that in our team atm.

    Do you honestly still cling on to the idea that Harkes was decent?
    Cmon Man he was rank. Had 1 decent game in 10, passed the ball and ran away most of the time.
    His close control was boufing. His pass accuracy was worse.

    Exactly Whitfield , Stanton had a nasty habit of going missing in games , short memories or selective ones on here
