    Sands that went to them was seen as a big prospect from that league and he was absolutely rotten here. You have to laugh when he was bashing the league, just about every game he got ran ragged even by bottom place Ross County.

    Don’t get me wrong I am not saying good players don’t play over there as they do, we got one in Alastair Johnston.

    On GG, I am guessing his add ons will be goals and appearances based, not sure there has ever been a safer bet at this stage than that. I understand why we sold him when we did but I think in modern day football he is worth double what we got at least.

    While the MLS is perhaps better than it was 20 years ago, it still overall isn't that great in standards.

    A couple of clubs might get the odd near retiring stars go over and look amazing still but the overall quality in the league is questionable when guys like Morgan who was mentioned previously, is looking like a star player over there.

    Don't get me wrong though, if you are a young lad, not getting regular game time at clubs like us, I would absolutely advocate a move to MLS for the standard of living and money available over there, if money is your aim and you ain't too fussed over career ambitions then MLS is a great move.

    Giakoumakis is there for a reason though and that needs to be remembered... if he was as good as his scoring record suggested for his season with us and season in Holland before us. He'd be in a decent level in Europe like Juranovic.

    Not to dismiss his talents as he was class for us of course.

    Lol, definitely going to take the add ons, don’t care that they are nailed on.

    Agree with you that good players will play there, I just balk at GG’s criticism of the Scottish league.

    He honestly didn’t know what he had. Sure he wanted money, but he was playing in a Celtic team that was so far above the levels around them in Scotland because the team wants to be competitive in the champions league. He should have just appreciated what he had and left quietly for the money.

    Why is it that people are jumping to discredit the MLS? It's absolutely higher quality than our own league and has a similar kinda ring to when people discredit the SPFL (and our success within that). Weird.

    What makes it weirder is that people are doing it in reaction to a successful former Celtic player scoring goals there.
