Andy Firth New Deal

[Hussar]

I wish him all the best

 

[Dinxied1972]

Brilliant the guy has been outstanding! He must think he has won the lotto.

 

[Rio Loyal]

He'll probably end up Number two when Foderingham leaves

I seriously hope not he’s a 3rd choice only.

 

[Broxi Bear 1873]

So could this mean with Wes maybe for the off he would step up to being #2?

 

[ALASKA]

He is getting paid to keep fit and in good health. Wish it was me.

 

[blairbear]

Gees a job I could do that.

 

[Stewart clark]

No2 next season?

 

[Dingmeister]

Good decision, I thought he looked okay in the Kille game last season when he came on plus he looks decent in the warm ups (tongue in check for the 2nd point)...

 

[maca3d]

Guy knows how lucky he is. Knows where he stands and seems to be well regarded

 

[GwRFC1992]

A deal that probably had to be done in terms of keeping the numbers up in that position. Best of luck to him but he’s no chance of getting anywhere near the first team

 

[WatersideTrueBlues]

Good news. Boys living the dream.

 

[LyonGer]

It's hard to get excited by this but the gaffer must see something in him as 3rd choice.

 

[hippo94735]

Dont thikn Ive ever seen him play - is he ahead of young McCrorie?

 

[chrissyp84]

The smile says it all

 

[djgarymc]

Strange this one. Low wage and back up at most.

 

[Redhand]

Good backup, especially with Wes going

 

[StephenHawkinsfitbawboots]

Be happy for him to be number 2 next season and get some money in for Wes, as good a player as he’s been.

He won’t be number 2 and we won’t be getting any money in for Wes

 

[BigBuff]

Good number 3 and seems to enjoy being at the club

 

[Hellsbells]

Gotta love him

 

[UpperCanadianLoyal]

He's not really costing us anything, so why not.

 

[StevenM]

All things considered Wes leaving has forced us to make a bit of a choice here. Not a huge surprise but wonder what that means for McCrorie?

 

[FortWilliamLoyal]

All things considered Wes leaving has forced us to make a bit of a choice here. Not a huge surprise but wonder what that means for McCrorie?

I'd imagine McCrorie might come back as number 2 next season, with the aim to transition into McGregor's spot in the following year or two.

 

[The Union Flag]

Strange one. In the gaffer we trust

 

[SHAWLANDS LOYAL]

Minimal outlay, he obviously loves being here, and the gaffer and Ross Wilson must think it’s the correct decision - therefore it’s ok by me

 

[StevenM]

I'd imagine McCrorie might come back as number 2 next season, with the aim to transition into McGregor's spot in the following year or two.

Watched him a while back for Scotland unders and I wouldn’t be upset about this being the case.

 

[niceonecyril]

Shame that Wes appears to be heading to pastures new

 

[Five&Six]

Loves the Gers!

 

[D4RN-L]

I don’t get it at all.
3rd choice keeper gets a new deal?

 

[The Union Flag]

Weird one. I guess the gaffer must think he’s worth it

 

[BillHastings]

Seems a top lad.

 

[As You Were]

Hes just living the absolute dream and he knows it! Seems like a good guy as well, loves it here.

 

[Clockwork Tangerine]

I often watch him when I turn up at away games a bit early and he's taking shots from the first team, looks woeful. Very rarely saves a shot.

 

[IrnSou]

He'll probably end up Number two when Foderingham leaves

I hope not. McCrorie will hopefully get his chance when Fod leaves.

 

[jigster]

he's 23 and his best years are ahead of him would love to see him and McCrorie battle it out for our no 2 spot until Mcgregor calls it a day

 

[flounder]

With Wes leaving we'll need back up, we'll probably see him and McCrorie providing cover for McGregor.

[Gersboyjohn]

What a life he has

 

[Andyprfc]

Genuinely got the best job in the world

 

[Hussar]

I’d love to swap places with him

 

[Teddypicker87]

Not sure I'd have him as no2 come the summer

 

[esson_rfc]

Must be doing something right

 

[Dingmeister]

Good news, decent keeper and seems to ‘get it’

 

[FullTimePint]

The best signing we’ve made that never plays!!!

 

[Troobluu]

thats gotta be good news

 

[Superkent]

Good to see as I like Andy especially after beating Celtic he was joining in and singing towards the fans

 

[Gersboyjohn]

He’s certainly enjoying himself here, good on the lad.

 

[JJ_]

He must be over the moon and wondering how the hell this has happened.

 

[Kathmandu]

Thought he would be out the door in the summer. Gaffer must see him as No.2 material next season

Or a decent reliable no3 who is capable of playing in the reserves and doesn’t rock the boat. The squad will always have a few guys who will never make the first team but support the squad.

 

[TibbsyBear]

does he not want to play football FFS. ?

Yes its easy money
Yes its Rangers

Maybe we would all do it, but it does seem like a lack of ambition.

Got to remember he’s still only 23. He won’t even hit his peak for another 5 or 6 years.

I reckon he’ll learn far more here under this management team and being an understudy to McGregor than he would playing at Barrow.

 

[Gertwin]

He must be delighted to sign an extension to just basically turn up for training. His time will come eventually possibly if and when Wes moves on.
