Personally I didn't rate McHale, and with the exception of a goal against Caley Thistle I can't remember him doing anything. Rangers released him in the summer, and whilst Saints were apparently interested he has been clubless ever since, though did have a trial with Hibs over the summer.
Morton played him in a bounce match with Albion Rovers recently, where he scored a goal as a trialist. Whether the second division leaders will sign him is unknown, but if he's anything like he was at Love Street he'll be rank.
