Gary Naysmith

And I think, as Ryan touched on there about Ayr, I don't know if they know exactly what, what they are just quite yet.

But Gary Naismith will, um-

um-Gary Naismith will get them going, I think.

I think he's an incredibly, obviously, experienced manager.

Um, and yeah, really interesting one.

So-

The only, the only ones I can think that have done well as a leg- as guys who go in for a lower club, going for like, like Gary Naysmith played at East Fife for a little bit.

Uh-huh.

Goes to East Fife manager and gets them up.

Yeah.

I d- last night I interviewed Gary Naysmith, uh, before the game, and he got 46 caps.

He says his two biggest regrets are never getting to a major tournament and not, um, getting 50 caps-

50, yeah

It's probably that they maybe could have came up against a weaker team and if they'd lost, say if they'd played a team who's out of form like Air United, they'd played Queen's Park and they'd lost that game, you would have been like, oh, okay, maybe a reason for them to be or a reason for Wraith fans to start to be concerned about they'll probably or they should be able to bounce back from this you would think to be fair if they get a few players back and they're not on a bench of three people or whatever it was

I agree, I agree, I don't think it's it's just, sometimes, you know we've all been it, every single person listening to this, we've all been through it your team just has a shite game you know, you just don't really turn up and it just, nothing kind of goes your way and the opposition team aren't necessarily amazing but they're just better than you on the day and there's a team that you play they'll play them three times, maybe more over the course of the season, they'll probably beat Livingston maybe once or twice over the course of the campaign these things happen I don't think it I don't think it's there's too much to read into from Rafe Over's perspective and I think from Livingston's perspective it's just the trajectory under Martindale continues and Glenn Whelan certainly just a speck in the horizon you might remember his name but he's just now a wee dot on the horizon in Livingston's rear view mirror Let's analyse what has been called the Gary Naismith Derby as his new team took on his old team when Air United welcomed Stenhouse Muir to Somerset Park and the game was settled by a Sam Young header after 20 minutes.

Stenhouse Muir's world-class start to the season shows no sign of stopping, unbeaten in eight matches.

won seven games on the bounce and are somehow eight points clear at the top of the table.

Absolutely phenomenal season.

I can't believe it's been as good as it has been.

We flick it on its head then and we'll talk maybe about Air United first because I'm interested in your views on Gary Naismith's Air United because I don't think there'll be, well, every other Steny fan will be in a broadly similar boat, but I'm guessing that you'll want Stenys Muir to have a good season first and foremost, but you'll also want Air United to have a good season and Gary Naismith to be a success there.

So what did you make of them? And is there any...

Just putting Championship teams into their grave.

I was actually with Gary Naismith last night.

Do you want to pass on your thanks for all his hard work and you just carrying it on?

Yeah, I know.

And like they say, it's got crosses to bear.

Like Gary Naismith from Major Leisure Club presents an opening to you about how it hurts the Sturridge Muir fans getting left in the lurch in that situation.

turns over Dunstan the week before and yeah it just feels like Stetson are approaching it from the right direction it's just whether because of the situation in the Scottish Championship and below where you play each other four times Does the familiarity breed a kind of game plan in which you will get found out? And like I said, even if Stetsmere...

Teams start sitting in against them and that becomes a real difficulty.

mean they had a good

back four right back David Unsworth there was actually Tony Hibbert was coming through at this point as well just starting his career left back Alessandro Pistoni we had very very cultured players as far as I can say and then the other midfielders you know we got the likes of Mark Pembridge Scott Gemble Gary Naismith And up front, we had Thomas Radzinski with his jet heels.

We had Kevin Campbell who'd come in the season before after a bit of racial abuse at Transbond Sport, I think it was.

And then we also had the emergence of

I mean, of course, aye.

You can see how we talked about Gary Naismith there in my say, his previous club, his former employers, you know, his old stomping ground.

You might just use places like that.

But when it came to completely out of context that I used it wrong, I mean, so much so that you didn't pick up on it, actually.

Four games, beg your pardon, but Thistle's game against Dunfermline is being postponed due to international call.

Perhaps the most interesting one, Air United versus Stennis Muir.

This is Gary Naismith taking on his former club.

He was at the Thistle game.
