Scottish players in recent years haven't settled well at rovers. Jock Alexander and John Anderson apart, we've had Derek riordon who came with more baggage than Heathrow departure lounge, Martin Cameron who was completely out of his depth and the homesick garry Kenneth... No thank you!!!

I have been watching this guy on YouTube which I know can exaggerate the abilities of a player, but I would say there is no chance of him coming to Rovers, he looks many levels above us. TBF Gavin Reilly looked good on YouTube. Gavin Reilly looked good when playing in Scotland on tv , but when i first seen him play in a friendly against an English team( Melksham Town) they made him look very average.

To be fair Garry Kenneth looked good playing in Scotland. Derek Riordan..., there's a pattern emerging.

Here we go again, some people judging a player on what other players have done previously and not on the abilities and merits of the player in question. Strange.

''... there's a pattern emerging....'' Is it Paisley?

To be fair we have had a few good Scottish players, Jim Eadie comes to mind although that was some time ago now, someone else mentioned Ian Alexander, if he does sign for us he may turn out to be a very good signing.

Anyone who judges players because they’ve seen a highlights ( best bits!) video on YouTube is deluded .

No more Scottish players, ta. The standard of Scottish football is abysmal.

Well its more that Scottish football is notoriously bad. Their top flight is about league 2 standard bar 2 teams so any players coming from there can pretty fairly be adjudged against that general standard ... which is rubbish.

Yes but look on the bright side if we sign him. The two fans who had 'Nicholls' on their shirts will only have to add 'son'!! to get their money's worth!!

Disappointing that some pedant on here has not pointed out to you that 2 'L's and 2 'S's would in fact be anything but 'money's worth'.

Just checking, are we writing him off before he’s even signed on the dotted line cause some other Scottish players weren’t very good?

Scottish football is not as strong as when we signed Eadie and Alexander, now it's the top 2 who are Championship ability the rest a far lower standard. I don't really get where this player fits in anyway with BG looking to sign players he can develop and sell on. It sounds total nonsense to me.

Interesting debate.....he’s too good to want to come here, he’s Scottish so it won’t work, he’s not under 23 with no experience so he doesn’t fit the profile etc etc. Maybe TW was given a brief to look for a left sided winger with a bit of pace, eye for a goal, stamina and a decent cross on him, who’d possibly be available on a free? Age not an issue because we’ve already significantly reduced the average age of the squad. If Nicholson’s name popped out when those criteria were used they’d be daft not to have a look at him. Having a look and sounding him out are a long way from agreeing terms and signing a player on ... so I think this is somewhere in the realm of “wouldn’t rule it out”
