    Simon Murray

    Returning to Scotland in the summer. Would you have him back?

    I think he's a decent player but if the clubs aim is to finish 3rd next season then we need better.

    I agree. I think he would be a great third choice striker right now behind Doidge and McNulty. His work rate is second to none and he actually banged in a lot of goals for us during his short spell.

    I think we have better currently. That's nothing against Simon as I liked him

    Not the best i've ever seen, but scored at hunbrox and the winner against the gunts, he could score goals, and as a third choice striker he'd be better than most.

    Can’t see them being happy selling Shankland then bringing in a guy that says playing for Dundee was a dream come true. Probably the Fermers if guessed. Another one who deserves good luck.

    14 goals and 6 assists in 28 games for us is a great return for someone who probably wasn't a very high earner.

    I’d definitely take him back as a back up striker. He scored goals and he worked hard during his time with us.

    United we stand here....

    Scored 5 goals in 21 games last season. They finished 3rd (5 points off top) behind Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.

    I liked him.

    He didn’t have a great pre-season after coming back from loan, the fans seemed on his back a bit and his head was down. He didn’t get a chance to play through his iffy bit of form.

    With his pace and work-rate he’ll always offer something, and with a bit of experience I expected him to mature into a better player.

    I would be happy to have him back tbh, and you could see him being good with Doidge.

    He took an extremely bad injury which ended his season

    Same here, I liked his attitude.

    Would have Murray back in a heartbeat, would be a great third striker and option if we secure MM in summer. Terrific attitude, work rate and would play off Doidge brilliantly and give defenders no peace (that partnership).

    What would Simon Murray bring other than keeping Jamie Gullan from developing..it would be a No from me ...

    Not top six standard Imho

    wouldn't mind getting the laddie back

    I think he struggled with signing in the same window as Stokesy, was never going to be as big or glamorous a signing.

    He worked hard, but he was just below the requisite standard Imo.

    Not atrocious, but not quite good enough. Rather give Gullan the chance.

    Likewise

    I'd have him in a shot. Worked his arse off. Kamberi should watch Simon Murray videos to learn how to be part of a club.

    Plus, that song was great!

    I may be making this up but I'm sure when he left there was a comment from Hibs about watching his future career closely/with interest or similar. I thought that was an odd thing to say at the time but maybe it was with a view to bringing him back if he shone elsewhere.

    I liked Murray, he worked hard and moved fairly well, but he was a bit raw. At his age you can't imagine there is a huge amount of scope for improvement. For where we want to be I'm not convinced he is the answer as either starter or sqaud player.

    No doubting his workrate which was top class but i never thought he really had the quality to go with it. His first touch was never his string point (to put it politely).

    Hibs should be giving gullan a chance ahead of bringing murray back.

    Like the guy and wouldn’t be against us signing him again as a decent squad player.

    Agreed.

    If he would be happy being 3rd choice he'd be a good option to have on the bench.

    Plus we can start singing Good Charlotte again...

    Would rather not, develop Gullan first.
