Really enjoyed article. Think finances at time made Hibs stall on making Deeks an offer and then a poor one when they did. Cost us a decent fee but was no money to spend, would also have seen demands for similar hikes from a squad flying high in league . We would have been in a bigger mess if golden generation hadnt come along and provide club with needed resource. He was a joy to watch but against the grain I dont think he had the tools to play at a higher level. You need supreme fitness strength and speed to play top level now. He didnt have these. Sitting bench at Celtic regressed him but it was a move and contract he couldnt refuse. I dont think its a coincidence Scott Brown looks a differnt player under Rodgers. Strachan turned a dynamic midfielder who created chances into half the player he was at Hibs. Riorden may have had a much differeant career if hed had a Rodgers type. We will never know. Wonder if story about Strachans daughter were true
On social side Riorden was also hounded unfairly by being a known face in a two team small city. Once press jumped on stories he had no chance.Was being reported by bitter Jambos everywhere he went. Gary Locke behaved like a grade A prick in town yet never made the press or got treatmeant Riorden got.

Your headline gets it right.
Scotland doesn’t produce enough good players. Being a talented prospect is not enough. Becoming a top player requires dedication and graft - for whatever reason, not enough Scottish players grasp this.

Bang on - look at Jordan Rhodes, he should have been Scotland's Shearer.
Anyway, Deek was class. O'Connor, Leigh & Deek. If these 3 had been a little bit more 'sensible' they could have been unplayable.

Am I having a total blank here but who the **** was Darren Thomson? In the line up for the Partick game. Bit too early for Kevin was it not?

2nd: Bring him home Lennon
These are time-honoured classics rolled out so often that there are now abbreviations for them!
