Chris Clark is not a better player than Eoin Jess, Russell Anderson, Kevin McNaughton etc. He wouldn't get a game for the Old Firm and would be lucky to get on the bench for a decent English side, so why he'd even consider leaving a team who are challenging for cups, playing in Europe and where he is guaranteed first team football is beyond me.

We have the same problem with John Rankin. Decent player who has an arse of an agent, touting him around the other SPL clubs whilst we are doing our best to keep him. Because Rankin has around 18 months to go on his contract, he'd be likely to go for 65-100k, which i'm assuming, a percentage would go to said agent. Shower of bastards, the lot of them...
