SUBS –

HIGHLAND TOFFEE – 6.5/10 – “When Ah wis up here back in the day wi’ the The Skids this was all Tyrannosaurus Rex territory. Still is, probably, if they electric fences aroond the toon are anyhing tae go by…” beamed young Jobson, the only Celt getting off the bus with a grin on his chops because he’s just damned happy to be here among his heroes. But not only can he hold a tune, he can play a bit too. Improved our midfield energy and incisiveness no end as he injected purpose and desire.
