Thurso’s favourite son moved to MLS just last summer, joining the New York arm of the City Group, NYCFC, on a free transfer from Aberdeen. Despite linking up with his former Celtic boss, Ronny Dalia, GMS has struggled to make an impact in the US thus far, starting just five of the seventeen matches he has been available for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1594228392953-CWOY2ILV2K2OKWIWUP02/Chris-Cadden-MLS-Is-Back.png Words - MLS Is Back: A Scottish Prespective - Chris Cadden - Columbus Crew Motherwell fans won’t have forgotten Chris Cadden’s seemingly murky exit in 2019. The Bellshill native joined Columbus Crew on a free-transfer but - due to the limited number of international roster slots available to MLS sides - was sent out on loan to English League 1 side Oxford United. Many of the Fir Park faithful have a more cynical view on that, however. Cadden linked up with his new club for the first time January and the tournament should provide him with ample opportunity to get to know his new teammates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1594226853456-KTBA7LBTVPQK41AYIKVU/Lewis-Morgan-MLS-Is-Back.png Words - MLS Is Back: A Scottish Prespective - Lewis Morgan - Inter Miami Moving on to perhaps our most intriguing player across the pond, Lewis Morgan. Morgan joined MLS’ newest franchise Inter Miami in a surprise switch last January, after a stint at Celtic. The youngster secured his move to the green-side of Glasgow having lit up the Scottish Championship in the 2017/18 season. Despite playing 31 times, making his Scotland debut and playing significant minutes for The Hoops in European competition against the likes of RB Leipzig and Stade Rennes - against whom he scored - Morgan ultimately failed to establish himself at Park Head. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1594085286304-5KYY8JCUY9CAUPG6P5I3/Johnny-Russell-MLS-Is-Back-Preview.png Words - MLS Is Back: A Scottish Prespective https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1594226762119-CXQ75Z4Y6JWU9XNDM6WE/Johnny-Russell-MLS-Is-Back.png Words - MLS Is Back: A Scottish Prespective - Johnny Russell - Sporting Kansas City Johnny Russell is a stateside veteran at this point having played 60 regular-season games since 2018, notching 19 goals and 20 assists along the way. His performances have turned him into a fan-favourite amongst regulars in The Cauldron - Sporting KC’s north-end supporter's section. Surprisingly, 10 of his 14 well-earned international appearances have come since his move to MLS from Derby County. Slightly discrediting the idea that a move to the US might hamper one's international prospects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1594229341578-S7XLLO6P0HAA7DOSURZA/Chris-Cadden-MLS-Is-Back+copy.png Words - MLS Is Back: A Scottish Prespective - Danny Wilson - Colorado Rapids Danny Wilson was at one time, a promising prospect at centre-back for Scotland. Now 28-years-old, he has claimed five Scotland caps, all of which came in the 2010/11 season, some 10 years ago. After successful spells in the Scottish Champions with Hearts and latterly Rangers, Wilson came under scrutiny when the Gers returned to the top-flight in what was a tumultuous time for the Ibrox side. He made the move to Colorado in January 2018 and despite a positive first season, the 2010 PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year struggled to hold down a starting spot last season. https://www.footballfromafar.com/words/fraser-hornby-fit-at-stade-de-reims-scotland-u21-transfer-from-everton-to-france monthly 0.5 2021-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1591740733804-CAKN4OB9AINBY9A3H4WT/David-Guion-Stade-de-Reims-Manager.jpg Words - Fraser Hornby’s Fit At Stade de Reims https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1591733251167-WV03MB9AS1GI9P0KTOAS/Fraser+Hornby+Everton+Europa+League+Debut.jpg Words - Fraser Hornby’s Fit At Stade de Reims https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1591838369658-DDR02BLBQ1E5CE2RET0L/Fraser-Hornby-Fit-In-Stade-De-Reims.jpg Words - Fraser Hornby’s Fit At Stade de Reims https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1591733193603-0UTLAWBR2Y5GKD8FWMIX/Fraser+Hornby+%26+Mikey+Johnston.jpg Words - Fraser Hornby’s Fit At Stade de Reims https://www.footballfromafar.com/words/the-ryan-gauld-renaissance-dundee-united-scotland-to-sporting-lisbon-and-portugal monthly 0.5 2021-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1591838739916-1RGNUNVYD8P41XV1KNAH/Ryan-Gauld-Renaissance.jpg Words - The Ryan Gauld Renaissance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1591839681861-05A2VZIFRV4QHNGGL4Z7/Ryan-Gauld-Sporting-Lisbon.jpg Words - The Ryan Gauld Renaissance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1591839707939-IS2KR3TP92EB2JMJ2HS3/Ryan-Gauld-Cup-Win-With-Aves.jpg Words - The Ryan Gauld Renaissance https://www.footballfromafar.com/words/category/Features monthly 0.5 https://www.footballfromafar.com/words/category/Scouting monthly 0.5 https://www.footballfromafar.com/words/tag/Ryan+Gauld monthly 0.5 https://www.footballfromafar.com/words/tag/Features monthly 0.5 https://www.footballfromafar.com/words/tag/Fraser+Hornby monthly 0.5 https://www.footballfromafar.com/scouting daily 0.75 2021-03-12 https://www.footballfromafar.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-08-21 https://www.footballfromafar.com/home daily 1.0 2025-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb34d38e237c57981fb5adf/1615509644936-XY02Z8HWD71O8B6NOOA9/FFAF+-+Treatment+-+Nisbet.jpg Home - Replacing Kevin Nisbet Scottish Premiership clubs don’t often turn down multi-million-pound offers for one of their players.
