Callum Patterson?


NEIL WARNOCK:

"He’s very close, I’m going to watch him on Monday at the stadium for the Under-23s. We’ll play three or four and we’ll be able to watch his progress. I think he’ll be in squad tomorrow. He’s done really, really well. Camp needs another couple of games at least."




Warnock backs Patterson to be a 'big favourite'

NEIL WARNOCK:

"Patterson will travel, yes. I’ve put some faith in him. I think he’s going to be a cracking player. What I said to the owner and the transfer committee was - because it’s difficult to sign a player who’s injured - that we have to look at the longer term because the £300,000 compensation was an investment"

"And although it didn’t affect my squad in pre-season, I felt the club should take my advice because the lad could be worth a lot of money when he’s fit."

"I don’t see much better Scottish full-backs so I think he’ll be pushing for the Scotland team again. He’s still waiting to get back that explosiveness after the injury, he’s still not quite up to scratch going backwards and is a little bit sluggish when people are taking him on, but we’re working on his strength now, but other than that his stamina is good. He’s a strong lad, he wants to win and score goals and do everything else. He’s frustrated at the minute - he kicks one or two in training because he’s not getting a game - but long term he’ll be a big favourite here."
