    I think Luke’s proving that there’s a lot to be said about knowing the Scottish game and being prepared for it, also knowing the enormity of playing for the club. You can have all the talent in the world, but come in and struggle.

    He makes every minute on the pitch count. We should be jumping on talent like him more often.

    I was underwhelmed when we signed him, but he's really proving me wrong, he's a cracking player!

    Not so much comparing them ability wise as I think Engels has the ability to do what Luke did yesterday, just more his appetite to get involved and make things happen I expected more despite the settling period and age factors you mentioned. Tbh sometimes younger players feel less of that pressure and play with more freedom than their elders so again I'm just surprised Arne has been caught missing in games.

    Not having a dig just hard not to look at the contrast in performance from one high profile transfer to one fairly low profile in the same window.
