After the Hibs game I was at the Elgin City v Stenhousemuir game Stenny had Martin Scott playing for them. Was he once with Hibs ? Seem to remember a tough guy who caused a problem on the training ground by decking a team mate Is this the guy Looked a right tough character today
Aye that’s him. Nickname Jimmy. He cost us 80k if o remember right. He was a recommendation from Derek Adams when he was our number two

He was poor in an era best forgotten.
Am I mistaken or was it him who tried to control a throw in near the half way line and put it out for a corner?Quote:

Correct. Scored two in a 5-0 win over Berwick Rangers in the League Cup in 2011 from centre midfield.Quote:

If it was one I’d the other it would have been sorted at the time of the incident quite easily. I also presume lynch continued to play after Hibs. Where is he now? Same place as Scott by the look of it.Quote:

He's out injured just now having captained Patrick whilst we where in the championship. There was a lot more to it than just a training ground punch and the whole think stank as did a lot of the decisions at the club at the time.Quote:

I recall asking a County fan about him when he joined us and he said he was "as thick as mince". He had met him out during a night out in Dingwall and he couldn't believe how "thick" he was.
Apologies getting my Welsh and Lynch mixed up. Same sentiment tho. If Welsh was good enough he would have stayed st Hibs (or progressed somewhere else) and Scott would have been moved on. I’ve heard the stiory. I’d have punted the both of them on the spot. I’m still at a loss how it’s Scotts fault his career didn’t kick on. If he was good enough he would have got a look in.Quote:
