I've come to realise, slowly, that he's an important exponent of our defence - he's steady, consistent, and rarely makes errors. In fact, I can admit he's the best right-back we've had in many years. But everyone has players they're not keen on: Michael Hart is mine. I really didn't like what he was spouting off to the local press before the game at Iprix last season. We were always going to fall flat on our face after that, especially after the Glasgow tabloids got a hold of the story and twisted it. Hopefully he's learned from that!
And fear not - I'll always support him at games etc, and cheer and clap when he does something effective. And actually, I'll admit he was one of our top three performers on Saturday (along with Severin and possibly Soutar).

So you don't like him a person but appreciate his abilities? No worries about that, they're not paid to win popularity contests or be nice guys - they are there to win games.
His comments were twisted but at the end of the day he said he'd rather have Brewster over Boyd which is comedy gold.
But I reckon regardless of what he says off the field he is without a shadow of a doubt the best right back we've had in a long time.
The gasket is safe again
