Jaggernaut Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 The STV sports programme last night was the first time I'd ever seen Craigan give any kind of interview. He came across as intelligent and articulate, a cut above many of his fellow footballers. Anybody know if he's got coaching qualifications? I can see him doing well later on, either in management or as a pundit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Earl of Hathaway Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Aye he's a bit of a cut above the usual 'The boys done good' guff that usually gets spouted. Way too intelligent for football management, I think. He's done OK for a former world BMX champion though... (my favourite bit of ex-Thistle player trivia!( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to be on Radio Scotland quite a lot as a pundit, not sure if he still does it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 He used to be on Radio Scotland quite a lot as a pundit, not sure if he still does it He's been sat next to Pat Nevin in the BBC studios a few times too IIRC...and came across as way more intellectual than him too.

jaggybunnet Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 He used to be on Radio Scotland quite a lot as a pundit, not sure if he still does it does the "scottish bit" for Talksport sometimes as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blutarsky Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Anybody know if he's got coaching qualifications? i'm speculating that he either has them or plans to get them, as it was definitely said that he wanted to go into management on the programme last night. would love to see him replacing the hapless one but i expect he might be getting prepped to take over from the spetugenarian broon. he's currently contracted to 'well until next summer.

To be fair, he's probably Motherwell through and through, with a relatively brief (though successful) interlude with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter of '63 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 To be fair, he's probably Motherwell through and through, with a relatively brief (though successful) interlude with us. I've heard Craigan on Radio 5 and Talksport recently...he was also a regular on Radio Scotland's Open All Mikes when he was out injured for a lengthy spell 18 months or so ago. He has always been impressively articulate & intelligent...apart from one occasion when he was reporting from Firhill and Thistle scored a last minute winner - he went absolutely mental. Definitely a Jags fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a Jags fan Liam Buchanan penalty against Livingston 2 seasons ago when we had a glimmer of a chance at keeping the title race alive. I was listening at the time in the car and nearly lost control when he went absolutely radio rental with delight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
