It will be interesting to see what this season has in store for him – he’s now at that age where senior football might be the best thing for his development.
When we consider that plenty of teams in Scotland will be struggling financially just now, that means the loan market will be more important than ever for some clubs.
It would be great to see him get a chance to go somewhere and show what he can do, but it might take a few months for that to happen.
