St Johnstone Wright’s challenge

The Saints squad for the game against Celtic only had six players who were in the Scottish Cup-winning squad in 2104 – Alan Mannus, Steven Anderson, Brian Easton, David Wotherspoon, Michael O’halloran and Steven Maclean. The transition has largely been lost sight of by the media as it has been progressive.

If Tommy Wright had not been named Manager of the Month for August it would have devalued the award in the eyes of most football supporters. His tactical awareness was once again well demonstrated in how he set up the team against Celtic. This has prompted calls for Tommy to move to a bigger club.

Perhaps the real challenge is to achieve more with Saints. Let’s hope so.
