McStay a journeyman! That's got to be one of the most ridiculous statements ever made. He served his only professional club Celtic with class and distinction from 81-97. This doesn't quite constitute a nomad. The last world class player that Scotland have been able to call upon imo. Baxter was a class player of that there's no doubt, he just wasn't as good as Jinky. Had the pleasure of meeting him and Jinky a few years back when they came down to Corby. What a double act. Oh and i believe you Ken, you're not really a hun.
