For those who might be interested -Left back Scott Laird claims he was due to sign for us in January 2013.
This would have been the last few weeks of Derek McInnes time in charge.
Apparently, everything was virtually agreed. Fee was 2.5m. From Preston - what he calls a dream move. He picked us over Watford.
But as the january window was some weeks away, he carried on playing for Preston and unfortunately broke his leg and the move never happened.
He's now at Weston as a coach, with Scott Murray's son Jay and speaks highly of both.
