🎙️ Mikey Moore spoke to the media ahead of Saturday's match against Falkirk.

Squad, Leaders & Domestic Diligence Walter Smith made Domestic Signings the bread & butter for his title-winning squads, something Steven Gerrard recognised and Nils Koppen had clearly noticed too; Barron, Cameron & then Mulligan links. For every big signing or potential asset player we need: > Domestic Experience/Success > Leaders/Captains > Regularly Available/Good Injury Free Record These 3 Players all meet that for me & are very Low-Risk as will all be out of contract come June 2026 👇 Kenny McLean Yes, I am still going on about this one: > 34yo & Club Captain > 50+ Scotland Caps (Euros & Potentially a WC) > 2yrs Premier League Experience > Title Winner in England x2 with Norwich > League Cup Winner with St.Mirren > 2 Finals with Aberdeen > Aerial Ability in Both Boxes At 34, He has only had 2 big injuries in his career but is in great condition, has only missed 12 games with injury since 2016 with 2 corrective end of season surgeries in that time. He is someone for me that could fill a similar type of void left by Steven Davis; calm down, I am not saying he is as good as Steven Davis, it's ok... but he has the experience, passing quality & experience at top-level of football. Mark O'Hara A lot will look down their nose at this one but again, not everything needs to be the next Hamza Igamane, some can be a perfect fit for domestic football... Kirk Broadfoot: > 28yo & Club Captain > 11 Seasons Top-Flight SPFL Experience > Top Scoring Non-Old Firm Player against Rangers/Celtic (Big Game Goals) > 3 Seasons Finishing Top-6 with a highly performing St.Mirren > League Cup Final Upcoming > Aerial Ability in Both Boxes > Set-Play Taker At 28yo, on a Free Transfer & coming from St.Mirren it would be a relatively low-risk outlay for someone that other than a recent Thigh problem, it's normally available every week. He could fill the space vacated from potential exit of Kieran Dowall & on a lot less money with a record of performing in the league, Jason Kerr Another in for the Squad & something that we desperately need for me, is experiencing digging in with tough domestic games when called upon: > St.Johnstone Historic Double-Winning Captain > 5-Seasons Top-Flight Experience > Aerially Dominant in Both Boxes Unfortunately a knee-injury just after moving to Wigan resulted in a slow start to his career but looks to have regained the St.Johnstone form in last 18-months & again, at a Free Transfer represents a low-risk. These are not your marquee signings, they will follow but I honestly think we need to start prioritising smart & low-risk domestic dominant players to create a Sqaud of Leaders.

It’s a real shame that James Tavernier’s final home game is going to be a dead rubber with a low turnout. He deserves a proper send off. He’s been an unbelievable servant and player. It will be an emotional night saying goodbye to the skipper and it’ll be a strange feeling seeing him at another club next season. I hope the fans stay afterwards and show him the respect he deserves.
