Surely there's got to be someone that we can put on in place of Sheriffe?

Why? Because he made one stupid error and didn't have a great game like the rest of the team?

Cheers for the info, pretty sure we'll struggle on Friday with or without him, would rather he takes his time and gets himself right. Lets just hope he finds some form when he's back playing.

Fully agree with you there, zero point playing him on Friday, we need all our big guns back on deck for the big four pointer against Celtic

we know he's been targeted this year so no point bringing him back if he's not fully fit. No point trying to find form and fitness against Saint's.
