Listen, let's not get offensive on something which is only speculation at this stage. Greg Docherty has been an excellent player for the Club over many years at all levels and does not deserve any abuse from BH or others.

Should he go to another football club, and for a significantly improved salary, then who would not do the same? Whether Sevco have the funds to pay Accies in the first instance, or to pay players on a long term basis, is for those who contract with them, to decide for themselves. Also whether regular football would be forthcoming is also a consideration.

If the Club has received a real 'cash' offer, for a figure which they see as required at this time, (due to their own financial mismanagement of the Club's bank account), then we should really try to understand why this 'sale' is possibly going through.

This does, in no way, make most of us happy about possibly loosing a good player at this point, We weaken the team, just before an important Cup tie, and let go someone who would probably have a much greater value for himself, and the Club. with another full season under his belt. For GD to possibly go to Rangers, is still a short-sighted policy decision on all fronts, IMO.


Couldn't agree more - my only concern is that we receive a significant portion (if not all) of the cash up front - Rangers are flirting dangerously with the exact situation that liquidated them only 6 years ago. Given that they couldn't fork out the money up front for either Cumming or Murphy leaves me worried.

In terms of the move from Greg's perspective - he is a massive Rangers fan (we all know that) and the other thing that might be keeping him here is his girlfriend (sounds daft but is plausible) - he will make a lot more money playing for the club he supports, and gets to stay local.

I'm just gutted that he will be lining up against us. Would much rather he stayed until the end of the season and went down south for a much greater sum of money, but if he wants to move the club wont stand in his way.

Hope he is not going especially to Sevco, but good luck to the lad. I can see why he wants to go to Sevco, staying local etc, no upheaval, but dont they already have about 10 players fighting for 3 maybe 4 positions. I can see his career stalling over next year or so with lack of games.

Where are Sevco getting all the money from to sign players even on loan, they will be paying a fair whack in wages to the likes of Martin, Cummings and Murphy, plus with O halloran and Halliday back

Think he would be better going south maybe to work with Sir Alex whose team are going well

No idea how ‘in the know’ this guy is but this article I’ve just been sent from a Celtic supporting mate seems to suggest that the down payment for Greg is absolutely nothing, and we don’t see any money till they get their season ticket money. Now surely Ronnie and les are not that thick? We have had enough of being shafted recently. If he’s going to Rangers we need our money upfront and cleared in the bank before he goes anywhere.

Still don’t think this is the best move for his career or for us. If we can keep him till the end of the season I believe we’d get more for him and he’d be an even better player.

So despite guarantees from the Scottish press that Rangers would double their bid yesterday...nothing, apart from an unsettled Accies player who’ll miss todays important Cup-tie with an ‘injury’ (head messed up)

He’s now a died in the wool bluenose, desparate to sign for the Rangers and lead them to 55...if you believe what you read.

Truth is he’s keen on signing for Rangers because of his similar appearance to a young Prince William and he’s hoping this will appeal to the ‘loyal-ladies’ and get him lots of off field action. He might even shave the centre of his head to appear more current Wills, for some MILF action.

Twitter rumours we're getting Jamie Barjonas on loan as part of the Docherty deal. 18 year old, 5'11" midfielder, only made 6 appearances for them, capped for Scotland at youth levels. He's a Leeds-born Scot with a Lithuanian surname.

I thought it was commonly known that Docherty was a blue-nose. I will presume from Ali also being 'injured' that he won't be here next week. Losing key starters in our midfield is going to be DEVASTATING. We have the thinnest of lineups as it is, losing two regular starters/goalscorers/men who assist is going to truly leave us possibly up the creek without a paddle.

Some still in denial about Docherty?

Crawford I don't understand - if he's out of contract in the summer, why would anyone pay a fee for him now? And if they're not, why not a pre-contract that means he plays out the season for us? Are we concerned he won't perform for us? Is his head messed up by the speculation (as is clearly the case with Docherty)?

Docherty's a big loss, with no direct replacement. Redmond is a decent alternative to Crawford, as purportedly is Kozoronis.

And the window's still open. No need for anyone to panic. Yet.

I suspect it's the same with Devlin, if clubs leave it to Summer to try and sign a free, a lot more clubs will show an interest. Whereas clubs like Aberdeen etc can afford to start pre-contracts.
I like Redmond, he at times has shown an a great aptitude to threading passes, he is however a liability when we are in physical midfield battle.

If the rumours are true *Docherty is a Given* and we lose Crawford this window and Devlin..We really, REALLY need to get some talented and FIT players to immediately replace. I dunno about you guys, but I am enjoying being a premier division team and don't want to drop down due to lack of investment in the first team squad.

Hamilton boss Martin Canning expects midfielder Greg Docherty to still be at the club by the end of the January transfer window despite interest from Rangers. (Daily Mail, print edition)

We need guys who can hit the ground running and both signings are guys who may need time to settle in to Scottish Football...never mind the weather(snowing heavily today lol).

We need to get a couple of battle hardened players which will help these guys as there is too much pressure on them to perform right away which as yesterday shows is an imperative.
