Wouldn't feel right to chuck Easton on the scrapheap when hes still carrying an injury and unlikely to get signed up.

Then again, hes probably a major earner and hasn't played in 15 months. 

I'd give him the offer of a one year deal, on reduced terms, but that would backfire if the injury flared up and he was ruled out for the whole season again.

Dont envy who makes the decision on that.

Agree,we did that with Alan Ferguson & got a lot of stick.

We have almost two months to see how his injury holds up so we should be able to make an informed judgement.

We can't afford to carry passengers. We have enough as it is.

Not quite the full story re Ferguson. When he was bleating to the Press how Saints had supposedly shafted him, he never once mentioned that he had knocked back the contract on offer before he got injured as he wanted more money. Ferguson is a player that I totally despise. If he hadn't been so greedy he would have had a signed contract to fall back on.

He played the full 90 mins 

First time hes played 90 minutes since the 24th of October 2017. 517 days, just over 17 months.

Well done to him, and hopefully the start of the rest of his career, and he can probably shave his beard off now...

It looks like Easton played as a centre back for the reserves.

No idea if that's because it involves less running than full back and hes being eased back in, or if it's a move the manager wants to make full time.

if he can stay fit that might be a decent long term option as he is left footed. Now that teams have sussed the way we play out from the back and cut off the supply to Kerr and focus on Shaughnessy who has been pretty gash recently it should hopefully stop us passing the ball straight to the opposition quite so much. He also wouldn't be a bad shout for captain. Staying fit though is inevitably key.

Absolute knob of the highest order, remember sitting at Celtic one Sunday in the old stand and he was in amongst the saints support was injured again!, kept cheering Celtic, was politely told to shut the fook up, karma when it went tits up for him!!
