We Are The Ton - What Makes a Ton Player?

I’ve now reached the 2020/21 season in my Morton save, and if you missed my last post, here’s a little reminder.

I felt that going into my 6th season at the club, and having established ourselves at the top end of Scottish football, it was time to put together some aims and targets for the remainder of the save. If you haven’t had the opportunity to read that post yet, the fourth, and final, aim outlined was to answer the question, ‘What makes a Morton player?’ I also completely copped out by not answering it within the last post, but to be fair, who’s ever complained about an extra post to read!

Read on if you’re interested in my thought process for coming up with an answer for the question, ‘What makes a Morton player?’

Our Style of Play

Firstly, we need to consider my preferred style of play and tactics. When I think about it time and time again, all the roads keep coming back to this paragraph from my previous blog on the tactics I’m currently playing with at the Ton.

I like my teams to control the play, have possession of the ball, but not for possessions sake. Just like FM keeps asking me, and just like I keep telling them, if we’ve got the ball, we’re not going to concede.

We play a possession style of play, and I do aim, in league games at least, to have over 55% of the possession. It’s rather annoying that you can’t go back and look at team stats for previous seasons in-game, but I’ll be noting down our average possession stats going forward.

So with possession really at the heart of what I’m looking for in my team, there are a few attributes that I’m sure have instantly come to your mind, and hopefully they match what came to mine too. I’m going to go through them, one by one, alongside their explanation from the FM Online Manual (that’s a thing! I know, me neither) plus a little explanation of why I feel they’re important to what I’m trying to achieve. Then finally, I’ll be analysing a few members of my squad up against these attributes, and showing off my new framework to judge the internal development of players, and that enables me to judge potential new signings too.

The Attributes

Determination

Mental attributes are really vital when it comes to evaluating players, and determination is one of the major attributes I look for in a player. The explanation of determination from the FM Manual is ‘A commitment to succeed. A determined player will give everything in order to win.’ It’s hard to argue against that, why wouldn’t you want players that were committed to being the best and giving their all for the win.

Teamwork

There’s no I in teamwork is there. ‘How well the player follows tactical instructions and works for and alongside his team-mates. A team full of players with a high rating here will work better as a unit. Players with lower ratings will slack off and not ‘buy in’ to the team ethos.’ Of course I want the team to work as a unit and ‘buy in’ to the style of play I’m looking for, however for certain positions and players, I won’t value the teamwork attribute as much. Cristiano Ronaldo’s teamwork attribute? 8. Enough said.

Work Rate

Quite a lengthy explanation here, ‘[work rate] reflects the player’s mental drive to work to his full capacities. A high rating will ensure a player wants to work his socks off from start to finish, but he will need the necessary physical attributes to actually be able to pull it off. Nonetheless, it is an admirable trait to have in your team. It does not merely represent a willingness to run – something that would be inappropriate in many positions – but rather the willingness to go above and beyond the regulation call of duty, as it were.’  Work rate is definitely an admirable trait for a player to have as the explanation says, players that ‘work their socks off’ are ones admired by coaches, fans and fellow players. That being said, it’s coupled in with teamwork here for me, in that I won’t hold it in as much of a high regard as determination.

First Touch

And now for the technical attributes. ‘How good a player’s first touch is when receiving possession. A higher rating will ensure that the player can corral the ball quicker and put it in a useful position to then act upon. Players with lower ratings here will struggle to control the ball as adeptly and may be prone to losing the ball if closed down quickly.’  This explanation even contains the word possession. If we’re going to have prolonged periods in a match with the ball at our feet, I want players who are able to control it with ease, and get themselves into a situation where it’s easy to move that ball on.

Passing

‘How good the player is at passing the ball. His Technique and passing ability will determine his success at passing over longer distances.’  Passing is pretty self-explanatory isn’t it. We play a possession-based style of football, so I want my players to be able to find their teammates with a pass. Not too happy about the second sentence there, obviously when the time is right however, passing over longer distances is appropriate.

Technique

And finally for the technical attributes, the one that underpins them all. ‘Technique is the aesthetic quality of a player’s technical game – how refined they appear to be with the ball. A player with high Technique will be more likely to pull off a tricky pass or a cross-field ball with greater ease than someone less technically able. This in turn affects a number of technical attributes – poorer Technique will let a player down.’  I want my players to be look refined when in possession and have the capability to make the right pass at the right time.

Pace

Last, but certainly not least, it’s the only physical attribute that I’ve chosen to look at. ‘Pace is a player’s top speed. Whereas Acceleration reflects how quickly a player can attain their top speed, Pace is that top speed and together with Stamina and Natural Fitness, is how long they are able to maintain that pace in both short bursts and over the course of a match. A player will naturally be a shade quicker without the ball than with it.’  As you just read, pace is closely aligned with other physical attributes as well, however I am just going to continue with pace as the only one I consider. I’ve always favoured speedy players above anything else, a tricky winger, a pacey centre back.

The Squad Members

With these core attributes now in mind that I’m going to be evaluating players against going forward, let’s have a look at how some of my current squad members fare up against them. These three squad members are all young prospects. One is completely homegrown at the club, one joined on a free and has just made the step up to the first team, and one just recently joined in a relatively big money move from Aberdeen. All three players also contribute to another of the aims I set out in the ‘2020 Vision’, establishing a Scottish core.

And here they are (the links to their attributes are hosted on FMShots, which you should definitely check out):

Jordan Henry – the homegrown prospect. He arrived at the club in our 2016/17 youth intake, and after loans at Nairn County in League 2 and our affiliate club, Ayr United in League 1, I’ve taken the opportunity to have him in and around the first team squad this season.

David Willis – the big money signing from Aberdeen, £2.2m. The Scottish player premium coming into play there, but the revised focus on domestic scouting (another part of my aims) will hopefully prevent this kind of money being spent in future on prospects like Willis. Aberdeen signed him from Hibs for £36k in 2017/18, a very good bit of business for them.

Ian Fleming – another prospect we missed out on originally, he started his career at Stenhousemuir, but moved to Bolton in 2016/17. After 3 seasons down south, he joined us on a free transfer last season. After the sale of last seasons 30 goal man, Daniel Sturridge, Fleming will have a much bigger role to play this season.

But how do their attributes compare up against my new core ethos?

attributes1.png

It’s time to get a spreadsheet out! These three players are currently the best prospects at the club, so they’ll be used going forward as the benchmark. Plugging in their individual attributes for the core ethos, we can see that Willis is the stand out of the three. Does that vindicate me splashing over £2m on him? Hopefully. This spreadsheet will be updated in January, and then again at the end of the season, to hopefully reflect the progress they’ve made in improving the core attributes.

Prospective Signings

As well as using the spreadsheet for developing players, it can also easily be used to compare any prospective signings up against the benchmark, and ultimately, determine whether they’re worth any potential investment. Let’s take a look at two players I’ve got my eye on.

gempf-768x327.png
docherty-768x324.png

Both instantly jump out at me in terms of players I’d usually target to bring into the club, especially now as we’re really looking to establish that Scottish core I’ve been banging on about. However, with the new scouting system in place, and the benchmark of core attributes to compare them up against, the recruitment process is more thorough than previously.

prospective-signings1-768x60.png

Both players compare very well up against the benchmark average attribute figure of 12.05, meaning I’m more than happy to pursue bringing them to the club. Gempf’s teamwork and work rate figures stack up really well against the benchmark for those attributes. If you search for him on your save too, he’s probably there. I believe it’s what’s known as ‘faceinthegame’. If you didn’t already know, I think it’s when researchers and SI employees appear as newgens in the game. I’m not complaining if they’re as good as Gempf and are Scottish!

Anyway, I’m digressing, but I was successful in my pursuit of both players. Although there was a slight downside to both. We eventually had to stump up £3m for Gempf from Dundee United, and I was unable to bring in Docherty permanently at the current time, so he arrived on loan for the season from Burnley. Gempf, specifically, will be added to the benchmark and will be constantly evaluated up against the core attributes.

One caveat I haven’t yet made is that I’m well aware that there are other really key attributes that are desirable for specific positions on the pitch. I’ll obviously be taking these into account for both current players at the club, and any prospective signings, but the core attributes outlined have been chosen as that’s the overall profile of player I want to have at Greenock Morton.

So that’s my take on what it takes to be a Morton player. I’m always happy to hear any thoughts or opinions you’ve got, and especially so in this case. What are the key attributes you look out for in players, and how do you evaluate that within your saves? Let me know either in the comments below, or on Twitter! Finally, I just want thank my good friend FM Analysis for being the sound board for this, he was a massive help.

We Are The Ton - The 2020 Vision

Ever since winning the Scottish Premiership, I’ve strayed away from doing the straight save updates on each season. Unless there’s a real hook, something unique about your save, or you’re a brilliant writer, I find they can get a bit tedious! There hasn’t really been anything to properly draw you in as readers to the ‘Ton save as yet. Until now hopefully!

I’m a really big fan of bringing weirdly made-up, pretend aspects into the game. So with that in mind, let me introduce you to my new guiding ‘aims and philosophies’, The 2020 Vision for Greenock Morton.

The 2020 Vision

Since taking over at Morton at the beginning of the game we’ve had a meteoric rise in our standing in Scottish football. I’ve now reached the year 2020 in-game, and the club now sits alongside Celtic and Rangers as the top clubs in Scotland. Pretty remarkable really. After securing the Premiership title on our return to the top flight in 2017/18, we’ve secured back-to-back 2nd place finishes in 2018/19 and 2019/20. These achievements, alongside a Champions League group stage run in the 2018/19 season, and a run to the Europa League 2nd knockout round during 2019/20, have taken the club to the next level from a financial stand point too. At the end of Season 1, we broke even, relying on our previous underwriter chairman to keep the lights on. The windfall of money we received at the end of season 4 from the Champions League secured the club financially going forward, and enabled us to strengthen the squad in ways we could have only dreamed of previously.

After that summary, here’s the first aim we’ll be working towards as part of The 2020 Vision.

Finish, at least, in the top 3 of the Scottish Premiership each season.

Now, you’d maybe argue that I’m being unambitious here, but I want to keep things realistic and in perspective. Since gaining promotion to the Premiership, there hasn’t really been a whole lot of difference between Celtic, Rangers and ourselves, as you can see in the beautiful table below. In each season after our title win, we’ve bettered our points total from the season before, but it’s not been enough to win the league, as Rangers and then Celtic in the season just past have seriously upped their game.

Yes, over the three seasons we stand top in the total and average points totals. But taking everything into account between us and our Glasgow rivals, the playing field isn’t level at all. Which leads us on to aim number two.

Grow the Greenock Morton Fanbase

The reason I’m being realistic and a bit unambitious with the first aim, is that I don’t actually believe that, when you compare the three clubs, we’re on the same level at all. I’m sure you’ll agree too when you have a look at another beautiful table below.

prem-att-comparison.png

I know I’m completely ignoring all the past and historical factors that have gone into this, but I feel that this table really underlines how ridiculous it is that we, firstly, managed to win the Premiership at the first time of asking, and secondly, while we haven’t managed to retain it yet, we have been able to continue to compete against our Glasgow neighbours and rivals.

Our figures in the table are all the more impressive when it’s factored in that a good chunk of our fans are still having to stand at matches. Of our 11,589 capacity, we’ve only got 5,741 seats. While standing on the terraces is something that’s considered almost romantic amongst Scottish fans these days, and of course it’s widely accepted across Germany, it’s something that irks me. It infuriates me even more because it doesn’t meet the minimum requirements to play home European group stage matches at Cappielow. We have to play at St Mirren Park, who, if you’ll remember, are our fiercest rivals.

Looking at the sizes of Celtic Park and Ibrox, and considering the number of season ticket holders they have plus the number of fans they get paying on top of that each week means the sums they’re bringing into the club on gate receipts, matchday income and most probably, corporate facilities as well, is more than likely enough to dwarf our entire current overall balance.

I unfortunately don’t have the average attendance or season ticket figures for each of the past three seasons, so the figures in the table above are from the season just past, 2019/20, and they’ll be used as the benchmark to work against. However, I can look back at some fixtures from the past two seasons to do a comparison on attendances. Because our average attendance figures are slightly skewed because of our home games against Celtic and Rangers, when attendances break the 9,000 mark, I decided to just take a look at home games against Aberdeen, Hearts and Dundee United and compare the 2017/18 season against the season just past. The average rise in attendance against these clubs in as comparative fixtures as I could get is 2,668.

All things being considered here, it’s also not bad at all when you look at the attendance of my first home league match at the club in the 2015/16 season, 2,196.

So with all that being said, they’ll be three parts to this aim, and they are:

  1. Increase average attendances

  2. Increase the number of season ticket holders

  3. Increase the capacity of Cappielow

This aim is a tricky one, as I can almost control certain parts of it, like performances on the pitch, the purchasing of ‘big name’ players, whether our reputation as a club is increasing, etc. But there’s parts of it I can’t control, such as how big a town Greenock is, it’s attraction compared to other towns and cities in the country (in real life, it’s proximity to Glasgow and going through something all Scottish clubs have to go through, competing for fans with Rangers and Celtic), and the affluence of our fans.

This leads us onto aim number three, and something I’ve got a little bit more control over.

Establish a Scottish Core

I’ll be looking to, either by bringing through youth through our own system, or by purchasing young players from other clubs, establish a Scottish core to my first XI. What I mean by that is I’m aiming to have a Scottish goalkeeper, one Scottish centre back, one Scottish central midfielder and one Scottish striker.

This aim can be split into two parts; facilities and scouting.

As I mentioned before, our league success coupled with the Champions League group stage appearance all but secured our financial future for a couple of years, at least. It’s also enabled us to take that all important next step in an FM save, enhancing the facilities. I managed to successfully persuade the board to upgrade our youth facilities in the summer of 2019, meaning they’re now deemed ‘good’. Once I knew that a spot in Europe was secured for the upcoming 2020/21 season, I again asked the board to upgrade our youth facilities and again, the request was accepted. That upgrade is due to be completed in October 2020. We also have ‘good’ training facilities at the club, but right now, I’m choosing to prioritise our youth facilities.

Coupled with upgrading our facilities, I want to create an environment where it’s not just the players that are flourishing and progressing, but our coaches are too. Attracting and developing the best possible coaches to the club, will give our players the best possible opportunity to reach their potential. This all starts with the youth coaches, and I’ve been able to attract the popular choice for Head of Youth Development, Phil Cannon, to the club. I’ll be looking to send any coaches not up to a Continental A or Pro licence standard on coaching courses at the earliest opportunity.

In line with the aim of establishing a Scottish core to the team, scouting will shift from finding cheap targets abroad, to identifying the best home grown talent there is. To do this, I’ll be putting together a Scottish scouting network.

To begin with, I’ll have one scout assigned to the entire nation from the summer until the end of the year. This is to pick up on any talent I may not be completely familiar with, or that plays in the lower leagues. Another scout will be assigned to keep an eye on any young talents plying their trade regularly in the Under 20 league. One final scout out on a regular assignment will be tasked with looking at specific teams. The first batch of teams I’ve called out will be Hibs, Hamilton, Hearts (who all have great youth facilities at their clubs) and Livingston. All four of these clubs are fairly well renowned for producing prospects. Scott Brown, James McArthur and McCarthy, Craig Gordon and Robert Snodgrass are just a selection of talents to come from these clubs. Once a prospect has been flagged, our chief scout, ex-Morton player, Joe McLaughlin, will be sent to do a final assessment, with the final signing decision coming down to me.

The fourth and final aim is hugely intertwined with our scouting.

Answer the question, “What does a Morton player look like?”

This is a bit of an anti-climax, because I can’t answer this question yet. I’ll be digging in and coming up with a list of attributes I feel are required for Greenock Morton players. I’ll go through this in a separate blog post.

So to summarise all of that, here’s the 2020 Vision again.

  1. Finish, at least, in the top 3 of the Scottish Premiership each season.

  2. Grow the Greenock Morton fan base.

    1. Increase average attendances

    2. Increase season ticket holders

    3. Increase the capacity of Cappielow

  3. Establish a Scottish core.

    1. Youth facilities investment

    2. Youth coaching development

    3. The Scottish scouting network

  4. Answer the question, ‘What does a Morton player look like?’

If you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this, and get your input on the final aim. What attributes do you usually specifically look for in players you bring in to your clubs?

My FM16 Tactic: 4-1-2-2-1

I’m feeling inspired by #wearethecommunity kicking off and seeing some of the brilliant, positive reactions to something that I believe is going to be massively beneficial to everyone in the FM Community. But also, unusually for me, I wanted to talk tactics.

Now, I set out right at the beginning of writing this blog, that I consider myself useless tactically on Football Manager. I decided I’d much rather leave the in-depth tactical posts to the experts, Cleon or FMAnalysis. However, if you’ve been following the Morton save updates since the beginning, you will know that I made a confession that I was, rather shockingly for some, using a downloaded 4-3-3. The proof is there, I consistently overachieved playing with it:

  • Season 1, fight relegation, Championship playoffs.

  • Season 2, mid-table mediocrity, Championship winners.

  • Season 3, fight relegation, Premiership winners.

  • Season 4, consolidate, CL group stages and 2nd place finish in the league.

My strikers and wingers have scored 20+ goals in seasons. My playmakers consistently hit huge average rating numbers. My full backs both laid on 10+ assists a season.

Despite making a few tweaks here and there, it’s not my tactic.

So from season 5 in the save, that’s 2019/20, I’ve made an effort to become my own man tactically.

I want my defence to be solid, stay firm, but the full backs can join in with the play further forward if they want to. I always want a player in the defensive midfield position, giving that extra cover when needed. Someone in the centre of the park, with the ability to get up and down the pitch. Players on each flank, getting and staying wide, providing chances. A maverick, playing in front of the main midfield and behind the striker, with the ability to unlock defences at his own free will. And a focal point, the main man, the lone striker.

This is the output of those thoughts.

Asymmetry at it’s finest. These are my lop-sided 4-1-2-2-1 formations. I always know how I want my teams to play in my head, but getting that across in FM terms has always been Achilles heel.

I like my teams to control the play, have possession of the ball, but not for possessions sake. Just like FM keeps asking me, and just like I keep telling them, if we’ve got the ball, we’re not going to concede.

Like I said, I like wide players. I appreciate a narrow formation, but ultimately, I’m not a fan. I love it when a winger gets the ball and just runs at the opposition defence, but there’s got to be an end product. I’m very much a manager that chooses his players based on form, I believe I’ve got the players at my disposal so that one week I can play the formation on the left with the left sided wide man being further forward, and if that doesn’t come off, the next week I can switch to the right side playing further forward. One thing I don’t like is that the ‘cross from byline’ instruction is pre-set for a winger. I said I want my wide men to run the defence and have an end product, yes this sounds like running to their hearts content and then crossing it, but if the cross is on from deep, then I want them to play that ball and get it in the box.

Whichever variation I play, the side in which the winger is pushed forward also includes a slightly more advanced role for the full back on that side too. Now I’m sure I’ve seen somewhere before, but this isn’t really the done thing to do. Normally you’d have on one side, an attacking role for a winger coupled with a more defensive role for the full back, and on the opposite side, you would have a more attacking role for a full back coupled with a more defensive role for a winger. I might be completely making that up, but that’s how I’ve always set my teams up. The change here is that I want my full back to move into that vast space vacated by the winger playing further forward as default. He can get up to support the attacking play, and provide an extra outlet for crosses.

One of the issues I had was with the centre forward. I often found because of the role selected, complete forward on a support duty, that he could be isolated at times. I’ve tried to remedy that here with an amended role for the front man, advanced forward, and by advancing a midfielder into a role behind the lone striker. I’m looking for them to work closely together to be our main outlets for goals.

Here’s the stats from the game and the key thing I notice here is, what I’ve been banging on about. Possession but not for possessions sake. 56% of the ball, but a higher number of shots, a good shots on target ratio and a good number of chances created, whether they’re clear cut or half as the game distinguishes them.

Like I mentioned previously, I’m not the most tactically minded person there is. I don’t think this is the perfect system, but I just wanted to introduce it to you today, as I’m actually really pleased with it. When you create your own tactic, and you gain results like the one I detailed, it’s the reason why we all play Football Manager.

We Are The Ton

But first, I’m sure you’re asking, who are the ‘Ton?

Greenock Morton Football Club were founded in 1874 and are based in the Scottish west coast town of Greenock, just along the River Clyde from Glasgow. There won’t be many people still alive that witnessed the clubs greatest success, winning the Scottish Cup back in 1922 against Rangers. That being the clubs greatest success probably tells you all you need to know about them already, and the club last competed in the top tier of Scottish football back in 1988. Some notable former players that you might have heard of include current Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes, David Hopkin and Derek Lilley both played in England after starting their careers at Morton, and Robert Earnshaw had a very short, but memorable loan spell at the club. The clubs most famous son is Andy Ritchie though, who played with Morton for 7 years between the 70s and 80s, scored over 100 goals and is regarded as one of the finest players never to win a Scotland cap.

The club holds the record for the most number of promotions and relegations into the top flight of Scottish football, and if you were to look back at their history from the 90s onwards, they can definitely be given the ‘yo-yo club’ tag.

The club actually went into administration in the early 2000s and suffered back to back relegations, starting the 2002-03 season in the Scottish Third Division (now League 2). Douglas Rae saved the club and is chairman to this day. Rae is a lifelong Morton fan, and his company, Golden Casket (the makers of Million’s sweets, Morton’s main sponsor) is based in the area. Promotion was secured at the first time of asking, and an unheard of crowd of over 8,000 watched the 1-0 win over Peterhead to confirm it. The following season, a second successive promotion looked on the cards with the club 12 points clear after the first half of the season. Form plummeted however, with rumours that some of the players had placed bets on their rivals, Airdrie, gaining promotion. They eventually did, and Morton finished outside of the promotion places.

Fast forward quite a few years to the 2012-13 season and Morton and Partick Thistle were head to head in the second tier of Scottish football, vying for promotion to the then SPL. It all came down to a crunch match, again over 8,000 fans attended, this time at Thistle’s Firhill ground, on a Wednesday night. It wasn’t to be however, Morton fell to a 1-0 defeat. Thistle have been in the top tier of Scottish football ever since, and Morton slid from the second tier into League 1 the season after.

Morton on Football Manager

Former player, Jim Duffy, was hired to oversee the League 1 campaign and rebuild the club after relegation. He did just that, securing Morton’s 10th league title overall which puts them third behind Rangers and Celtic as the club with the most league wins in Scottish football!

Despite winning the league, the fans weren’t happy with the football on show. Duffy has been replaced by a promising, young manager (me) and this is where you join the journey, just ahead of the 2015-16 season, and the clubs return to the Scottish Championship.

The Stadium

605c78ee3685b.jpg

Morton play at Cappielow Park, in Greenock. The stadium has a capacity just over 11,500, of which just under 6,000 is seated. It’s widely thought of as one of the classic grounds in Scottish football, away fans seem to love visiting it, probably because it sits right between the argument of whether it needs updating to become more modern, or whether it should be kept as it is. The stands might be pretty historic, but one thing that is of quality at Cappielow is the pitch and that’s in no part down to groundsman Mark Farrell. He’s won groundsman of the year on three occasions since his arrival and both the Celtic youth teams and Scotland have used Cappielow to play and train on in recent seasons.

Off The Pitch

Off the pitch the club is like any other Scottish football club, funds are tight. Attendances are low, and until the club starts winning matches, and fans start coming back, expectations will be low too. The Scottish Championship is a competitive league. Rangers and Hibs start out as the favourites to win the league and gain automatic promotion. One of them will have to negotiate the playoffs however, alongside 2 other teams. Our fierce rivals, St Mirren are also in the league after being relegated from the Scottish Premiership the season prior. We start the season as predicted to finish 8th, and expected to battle bravely against relegation.

The primary aim for the season is to do just that, stay in the league. Aside from that, fingers crossed that both Rangers and Hibs get promoted, and we can kick on from season 2. A secondary aim would be to draw one of either Rangers or Celtic away from home in a cup. The cash windfall from a tie like that would give the club a huge boost finance-wise.

The club benefits from the chairman being an underwriter. What that means is that if the club is in the red at the end of the season, he’ll pump funds in to keep it going. There’s also debt to contend with, but that’s only applicable if, and when, Rae leaves the club.

On The Pitch

If we’re going to stand any chance of having a successful season, Denny Johnstone and Alex Samuel will be integral to it. Both players are on loan from Birmingham and Swansea, respectively.

Loan moves, I believe, are absolutely vital in Scottish football. Clubs don’t have the finances to attract these types of players to the club permanently, and bringing in the right player, across any position on the pitch, can make a huge difference as to what kind of season a club has, and where you finish in the league table. At the other end of the pitch, shoring up the back line, we have Rangers centre back, Luca Gasparotto.

Relying on three loan players to make the difference might not be a long term strategy, but long term strategies aren’t for Scottish football. It’s impossible to look 2, 3, 4 seasons down the line and try and predict where the club will be. All you can do is look to next Saturday, and go after the 3 points.

And that’s what I’ll be doing.
