Regardless of the old farm pants, the decision is simply disgusting and makes another mockery of Scottish football.

Davis is 34 and can't get near getting a game for a team in the bottom 3 - does he not fall into your "elderly fading" category as well?

talk this morning of Morelos going to Leeds this window. Gerrard plays with one up front, and no way Defoe is coming up to sit on the bench, so could well be some truth in that rumour.

Naismith is doing a decent job at Hearts think he is 32/3,
Other than that it I find it difficult to name an ex EPL player over 34 who has made an impact on Scottish football.

Like Defoe most look for an easy couple of years and a bit of cash for the pension pot.
I would be delighted to be proved wrong though as I have always judged him a good player.
Davis is a skilful midfielder whilst Defoe's game has always been about pace.

That’s quite a small window you are looking at there - how many “over 34 Prem Players have actually moved to the Scottish Prem” - that actually might be the more pertinent question and would actually answer your question you keep answering - but then your question is designed to make it look more in favour towards the SPL.

Anyway as for Defoe - he has got a good couple of years left in him , very good poacher and will finish well - really good loan move for Rangers and he will score well for them.

Professional footballers will always tell you that the first thing you lose is pace. 4 goals in 18 months and very few starts suggest that he is on the wane. He is on 120k a week at Bournemouth - I'd be interested to know how much of that Rangers are going to pay. Even 50% would be a helluva gamble for them.

He is older than Ian Wright was when he came to Celtic and he did nothing.

Yet Kenny Miller at 39 is still a decent goal scorer with 8 in the SPFL this season.
Miller is quite an exception though.

The people “running” Scottish football have been making a mockery of it for decades so no change really but hey as long as the two bigot brothers are ok the rest of us will just have to sit down and do what we are told!

The SFA/SPFL or whatever the governing bodies are calling themselves these days could teach even UEFA a few lessons in corruption.

Disturbing info from a good source it's McKenna to Tims, with £4m + Hayes + Hendry coming the other way.

Terrible for Dandies imo :(

Would be a good signing for Celtic in an area they need to look at, and I agree re. a poor deal for Aberdeen IMO.

Not a chance in hell at that price plus nobody in Scotland would touch Jack Henry, he is horse poop. Considering Aberdeen knocked back more that double that in August I smell Tom Kite. Its a rumour with zero substance in my opinion.

Yes I've heard it all, deal done in Dubai blah blah blah.

Better than Tierney, who is the actual best young player in Scotland and also a year younger,

Fair do's, Teirney has been around so long he is practically a veteran.:)

I remember in the early 1970's Jack Nicklaus being interviewed about three up and coming young players only to tell the interviewer that they were all older than him.

I'm starting to think my usually reliable source has been taken in by the twitter rumour from @AberdeennFC, them of Yerdas Selsavon fame. They were punting this early yesterday.

I think Jack Ross may well start to feel some pressure over the next two or three months. Big big club with big expectations.

The mood in Sunderland has been so grim for the last few years that this season has been a grateful release and he has some credit in the bank. They want to go up this year, obviously, but he wont get hammered if they don't imo if they keep playing as they have been. Life has been really grim for Sunderland fans so their expectations have been really lowered. It was a good time for him to take over and based on the local press he is pretty popular.

Fair enough I bow to local more superior knowledge than I have. That said football is a fickle game and a results based game. I'm not convinced he'll get a second season to get them promotion if he fails this year.

Just my gut feeling.
