They have St Andrew’s day too! They don’t get a couple of bank holidays the English do. I correct myself now Scotland does get one more. There are nine in Scotland, but only eight in England and Wales. In Northern Ireland, there are 10. The power to set bank holidays is devolved to the Scottish Government. In 2006, the Labour-run executive agreed to create a new bank holiday north of the Border on St Andrew's Day, which is marked on November 30.Oct 21, 2024 Edited January 2 by REDOXO Quote

First time I saw him was on the videos when we had that pre season in the USA. Could tell he had something about him then. I'd definitely get him back as an off the bench option as pretty sure he can play all across the front in a 3? 2 Quote

Logically speaking yes i'd agree. I suppose the point is we have scouted or at least paid for data from Austria and ended up signing Mayulu for a sizeable fee. Not entirely fair to make a direct comparison player for player but i think it shows we need to look harder if we are going to bother casting the net a bit futher afield. Quote
