Either our new crop of youngsters are gonna have to massively step up or we are gonna have to invest in some fresh personnel...on top of our need for defenders, ugh.
You missed out ... Kozo!
Apparently we were after Chrys Kozoronis for some time - maybe he's seen as the replacement for Greg?
Of the youngsters, a lot's been made recently of 18-year-old Lewis Ferguson.
It's the Accies way: players leave, and others arrive or come through the ranks. Greg will be a big loss (hopefully not till summer), but we'll move on.
I've been told by a good source that Kozo is a direct replacement for Ali. Accies are very keen to hold onto Docherty just now and are in no hurry to sell. Rangers have been told if they want to enquire about the player they have to do so in writing. Only way this could get ugly is if Greg hands in a transfer request but even then accies could play hard. He's contracted till 2021. Killie have today shown that smaller premiership clubs are no pushovers now by knocking back a stupid bid for Jordan Jones. They've been told 500k for the lad.
