Want another? They’re the club that produced Robert Snodgrass and brought Leigh Griffiths through. Matthew Knoxįun fact, I used to get free tickets for Livingston games through my school (they’ve got no fans). Decent pace, passing and dribbling, good crossing and a hard worker, he should slot right into your side on the left and develop even further. This year is no different again, Kyle McAllister looks good, while Stephen Mallan is certainly one to pick up if you can, but I’ve gone for Lewis Morgan as my pick. Lewis MorganĪgain, similar to Dundee United, St Mirren are a club who’ve always had at least 1 or 2 promising prospects to take a look at. He developed really well on FM16, and he’ll be a decent wide man on FM17 too if you can pick him up. Scott Fraser, Ali Coote or Jamie Robson might be worth picking up too, but I’ve gone for Blair Spittal to call out here. Gary Mackay-Steven, Stuart Armstrong and Ryan Gauld are just a few standouts, and they’re relegation down to the Championship means that it might be a bit easier to poach some of their talent on FM17. On one hand, this may be down to the fact that the head researcher for Scotland is a fan of the club, but on the other, it might actually be because they’ve had some really exciting talent at the club over the last few years. Blair Spittalĭundee United have long been a successful hunting ground if you’re looking for a young Scottish prospect. If you’re playing as a Scottish Premiership club, a Championship club with a bit of cash to splash, or a lower league club in England, then the lower leagues in Scotland might be the place to come for a prospect or two. Without further ado then, here are my expert recommendations of the Scottish players based in Scotland you should sign. This pains me, but it doesn’t mean I don’t have my finger on the pulse of who’s who to sign on this year’s version of the game. However, for the first time in a long time (horrific attempt at a Rangers save in the beta aside), I’m not planning to play a proper save on Football Manager in Scotland. I’m from here, I live here, and I’d much rather watch or go to a Scottish football match than have to view one from our TV money laden neighbours down south.
When it comes to Football Manager though, I like to think that I know Scottish football.
