    I’d rather give it to someone deserving now than retire it. It’s had so many pish people wearing it.

    Give it to wee Jamesy.

    I actually think numbers are quite important to players themselves.

    I mind Cifti specifically requested the number 7... which i kind of like, means a player is aware of whats required and is up for the challenge. Unfortunately for Cifti and more so us, he was pure pish.

    But other players who have requested "important" numbers went on to do great things in the hoops, like hooper 88 and wanyama 67.

    Forrest or retire it cos we’re never gonna get anyone remotely close to henrik so may as well be a homegrown talent who scores a few.

    I only wish we stopped with those american football numbers. As a poster mentioned above, numbers do matter.

    Next season, give the 7 to Forrest, he deserves it. The 4 to Ajer, the 11 (Sinclair will most likely leave) to one of McGregor or Christie. 1 and 12 to first and second choice keepers. Not this random 29, 56, 33 bullshit.

    I agree with the random numbers to an extent. However 18, 19, 25 and 29 have a significance to us as well I think.

    The 46, 53, 63 nonsense is getting silly at times with us.

    I understand the young ones want a jersey number of their own but once you have cracked it in to the main squad you really out to be getting a more recognised number.
    Johnston is fine to keep 19, but had he still been on 73, then I'd have certainly looked to have it changed by end of this season, he's good for the 7, but with him having 19 now I doubt he will.

    Forrest has had 49 too long now to just up and change it though. Too many years as a first name pick to now change it.

    I agree with others here.
    The no.7 should be aspired to and earned, full stop.!!

    Would love to see every team going back to the... 1-11 numbers on the field.

    I think Christie could become a contender for the crown.

    I'm not picky.
    I don't believe in retiring shirt numbers. It's a big thing in the States with a lot of their sports such as the NFL, NHL and MLB but I think it's a load of nonsense. I think it should inspire someone to wear that particular number with pride knowing the player(s) who wore it before them. Make them kind of feel more honoured to wear it.

    No, it should never be retired. It’s one of those numbers that has prestige and if a legend that has worn it passes on, then it also becomes an honour - which it already is as is the jersey itself.
