Can Holt play against us

[Flying Fullback]

Just wondering if Holt can play on Sunday?

Even though they are 2nd bottom I don't think we can take St Johnstone lightly. Good result for them last weekend. Didn't see the game, but presuming they are probably much improved by the signings of May, Holt and the guy they got from Celtic.

No he will be unavailable.

No but really wouldn't be worried if he could.

To be honest I'm trying to make my picks for last man standing and I'm an undecisive bugger who can convince himself pretty much any match is going to be an upset.

Struggle to pick a team each week and now I need to pick two

Technically he can but teams never play players against parent club as mark of respect. mentally challengeds played Roberts against Man City.

No he can’t, it’s against league rules for loan players to play v their parent club.

Reasonably sure there is a rule in Scotland that prevents it from happening. If memory serves it was only brought in a few years back?

Cheers guys , never knew about the rule change

I can't find anything in SFA rule book or SPFL rule book that says this, though a few posters agreeing with you so maybe I'm just blind.

Missed this as I searched the rules for loan. Thanks for digging that up and confirming

I don’t see May improving any team.
