John McGinn could have been a jambo

[Bridge hibs]

Just watching the Curried club on youtube with Alan Stubbs and John McGinn, John says that he declined hibs a few times before Stubbs finally got him

He said he had offers from Dundee Utd and had the chance to go to the MLS, when in Santa Ponsa he said he got a call from Robbie Neilson asking him if he would come to hearts, he agreed but said Robbie never called him again 🤣 shame !! The rest is history as they say

Had he went to Hearts he’d either still be there hoofing the ball up the park or playing for someone like Airdrie.

Very accurate , they would have ruined him and all the ability he had

[MWHIBBIES]

Think a player that good would do well anywhere. His ball winning qualities would've seen him be a star there too.

remember watching that and nearly throwing up at the thought of SJM in a maroon jersey.

I watched it recently too BH . It really is a scary thought that Mcginn could have been playing at Tiny with the 20,000 plus in attendance singing ' WE'VE GOT MCGINN .. SUPER JOHN MCGINN ................ It probably would have been there best song ever too then again they probably wouldn't have thought on it as the Jambos have never really had any decent songs that are of any real quality anyhow .

[BILLYHIBS]

Pretty sure he won the League Cup for the Saintees playing against Hearts

Another year of pain without the wee cup

Remember reading on kickback that he wouldn't have got into their midfield.🤔

[Pagan Hibernia]

McGinn loved home derbies. 1-0, 3-1, 1-0, 2-0 on his watch. He bullied them.

Wonder if we’ve not followed up on players that have went onto greatness.
Sorry for venturing off the topic .

I’m sure I read years ago that we released Willie Pettigrew before he went to Motherwell. He became a great player in an excellent team, won at least one Scotland cap . He was another one that got away along with Robbo

If he'd signed for Hearts he'd be a model for extra large underpants now.

Just wouldnt be a good fit, McGinn and jambos, Meatball with Oddballs

[Jones28]

At least if he had no one would have heard of that wee fud Devlin.

My Celtic mates told me they only wanted him as a benchwarmer

Their refusal to open the biscuit tin and pay the asking price probably cost them the League that season

Fick the Hearts

the one consolation about losing him was that Celtic never got him

Yes remember them saying that, now the same people are saying that if the had signed him 10 in a row would have been theirs. Apparently Rodgers was not a happy chappy at the time.

I think hiring a manager that got 3 wins in 16 at Hibs didn't help either.

Celtic fans point to the 2020-21 season stating that if they had SJM in their squad as a starter and at the height of his powers they would have had more of a chance of achieving their Holy Grail of Ten In A Row and ironically saving Lenny’s job

Edit:

Then again The Rangers won the League by 25 points and looked to be easing down

They also let Craig Gordon leave on a free which was absolute madness. Replaced him with a hopeless keeper they apparently paid about 5 million for.

Ten years ago this weekend.
John would have been 18 and he played 82 minutes,then subbed.
Saints were 3-1 up by then.
It was Gary Locke's first game as manager .
He didnt last long after the roof fell in on Vlad and his criminal enterprise.
