This is the third time an announcement that we were signing someone has led to disappointment. In January, we announced that the following day we'd be signing an unnamed SPL striker Scott McLean. Whilst he still did sign, the deal had thought to be off thanks to Partick Thistle. In April, Gilmour said in the papers that we'd be making a "calibre" signing who was "highly sought after" and the fact we were signing someone like this would be a surprise. No offence to the guy, but Mark Crilly, who has previously played for Stirling, Ayr and Dumbarton, isn't what was expected! And now of course, this.
A tip for you Mr. Gilmour. Next time, keep it buttoned until the player has signed the contract.
