Fraser Wishart

[J.M. 3]

Hi, remember Fraser Wishart? Could you tell me what positions he played in when he was with St.Mirren?

[shull 30,657]

He didn't.

He was on the pitch a few times but didn't contribute.

He is now part of the Players Union and he adores Celtic, Sevco and BLM.

Thanks for your enquiry.

He was a right back, and a jonah to loads of clubs.

Look at how many were liquidated or have been in administration.

£285k a Tribunal made us pay for him. 😲

if I know that he was in several teams, although where he played the most was in Motherwell and St.Mirren, and then in the end in Clydebank, it seems that in St.Mirren he did not leave a good memory.

He was regarded as a bit of a capture when he arrived but was injured early on in his spell with us and upon returning never lived up to the original hype - shit happens.

If I remember correctly his best contribution was not playing and Bobby Dawson crossing for Kenny McDowell to score at Ipox.

I think Wishart's main problem was Fitzpatrick. He was signed as a full back but Fitzy kept playing him in midfield

[windae cleaner 3,937]

He was poor for us and took plenty of money out the club not his fault right enough

He ended up picking up form again for Hearts and Rangers after he left us

It seems strange that he left us for Dumbarton and Falkirk, going to smaller clubs  and then got a move to Rangers.

IIRC he was signed by them as cover during a time when there were restrictions on the number of foreign players in European competition.

Was he not a Saints fan?

Yes he is. Born in Johnstone.

If I'm not mistaken he had a pretty good career and looked a decent player at every club he played for except us, the team he actually supported.....

Seems to be pretty common, they sign for us then turn too shit....

I spoke to him just a few days after he joined us and he came to Saints with the intention of becoming a midfielder and the agreement of the club that he would get that chance, that is why he joined us rather than one of the other clubs after his signature.

Never knew that. Thanks. I always thought he just looked like someone playing out of position
