Richard Hastings

[Desperados]

According to bbc sport website the legend that is Richard Hastings has been released by Hamilton. Anyone interested in him making a return to the TCS and challenging Golly?

[dam17]

YES!!!

[Joe DiMaggio]

NO!!!

[Georgeios]

maybe.

[tm4tj]

No deal

[MissICT]

Yes!

But I don't think Tel liked him too much.

[Iain]

YES.

[Hearach]

no feelings either way. we certainly need more squad players in that area.

[ICTPaisley]

I would take him back, Competition between Golly and Hastings would be good.

[Council Juice]

I'd take him back but not too fussed if we don't. Decent enough.

[Libero]

i certainly agree we need a new left back but Hastings is 32 and i'd prefer to see us go for a younger player to freshen the squad

[starchief]

Decent player but let's look around first. Could be a better and younger version.

[AJS]

What is he now 32, 33? If we are planning on keeping Golabek then it is a no for me. We need a younger, more capable left back for the SPL.

[Harry Chibber]

if Tel can't find anyone better I'd be more than happy to have him back at the club

[buckett]

Wouldn't have a problem with Hastings coming back - he was one of our most consistent and under-rated players.

[cookiemonster]

I wouldn't be surprised if he did come up though, all of his family is still up here, but I say get Shinne in to challenge Gollie, not Hastings.

[Harry Chibber]

Our most successful back line ever:

Brown

Tokely Dods Munro Hastings

I'd take any of Brown, Hastings or Dods back in a flash

[ICTCM]

I'd happily have him back!

[CaleyD]

McBain can also play at LB so it's not cover we need.

[ICTPaisley]

McBain can also play at LB so it's not cover we need.

I agree its not cover we need but competition. I think Golly needs someone else to come in and challenge for his place to keep him on his toes. Having McBain as the 2nd choice left back isn't good enough i don't think. Always prefered McBain in midfield.

We also have Shinnie available at left back now that he's finished a successful loan spell in the Highland League.

He looked the most promising out of himself and Nick Ross when they burst onto the scene last year from what I saw...

I agree.... Better to encourage Shinnie to step into the squad, than bring back Hastings.

[WYNESS101]

We have Golly, Shinnie, Mcbain and even tokely can all play at left back so i dont think theres any need in bring back hastings

Although Tricky Dicky was a decent player for us - speaking to him in our relegation season I thought his attitude about the future of the club left a lot to be desired. So much so that I was very happy when we got shot of him.

So - from me it's a definite NO.

[caley100]

FECK no... this will give me bad dreams.. he is a poor mans Richie Byrne.
