He was maybe a bit unlucky earlier in his career re Scotland in that he was playing in a poor Hibs side (in the years leading up to our relegation and then in the Championship) when a player will be at the age to get that make or break opportunity. Sadly I don't think we should be giving out opportunities to 30 somethings if there are younger players available, but I don't doubt he'd do well if we were struggling for a player in his position.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I've always been a fan of Hanlon, I think he's a superb player. Funnily enough - people talking about spells of poor form - prior to the game on Sunday, he's probably had as wobbly a month and a bit as I've ever seen him have for us. I've always thought he's been incredibly consistent, the odd poor 45 minutes thrown in here or there and a very occasional mistake but he sets a very high bar for a centre half.
He's definitely better in a 3 for me as well, and will sometimes look better or worse depending on who he's got playing around him.

Great win at the weekend yet there are still some who will bring the place down with their negativity, still surprised they've not been booted by admin yet.

Paul's a fine player and a well respected Captain. He doesn't have to scream and gesticulate to earn that respect.

But the guy is a Psycho Killer from Dumbarton so he would say that.
For the poster who mentioned Chiellini. Paul Hanlon will be a better player than the big guy by the summer if he's not already.
Paul Hanlon thinks his way through a game that's why he has not been sent off for over a decade.
He is measured and controlled. There is even a chance Saturdays foul at the start of the game was deliberate on Rangers best player.
A certain yellow but never a red and I was confident he wouldn't get another yellow during the game.
If Porteous had Hanlons brain and mental control he would be some player.
