McKenna freed by Forest, Scottish, left footed, 27 and imo a better defender than Scales. As a free transfer why not offer 2 year deal and see what Brendan can get out of him. I know folk will say we should be getting better (I agree) but we have Lager, Rocki who are not rated so need some competition as they will surely be moved on.

McKenna is definitely worth the low risk.
He’s a good age for a CB with his best years ahead of him.
07 Jun 2024 19:28:32
If we don't snap him up the other side will.
{Ed007's Note - I would be amazed if McKenna would even consider a move to Ibrox, to say he dislikes everything about them is a massive under statement,}

I don’t think there is anything definite about McKenna, he has been available on a pre - contract all year and nobody rushed in to sign him . I honestly don’t think that he is a Celtic type centre half . He is fond of putting in a hard tackle which could lead to many cards in domestic football
We will find many Celtic fans will claim he is better than Scales, but these fans have spent the whole season criticising Scales and Taylor and are hardly going to give them a break now.

This system needs a fast CB and as CCV isnt, it is important we get someone with speed and aerial prowess. Therefore, I hope we don't go for him unless we are ditching scales.

Thought we where bringing back Tierney to play left cb.

aindoh,
He had a few ding dongs with a fit and peak Morelos.
McKenna likes a challenge and I would give him his chance to play for his boyhood club.

I reckon KT could only play in a back 3.
He would get found out on the left in a flat back 4 because that isn’t his position.
Plus he’s too small to play that position.

Spot on weejoe, av been saying it past few yrs we need a bono mk11 fast great in the air and can tackle, but a suppose that type of CB would now cost a few bob.

Why would we ditch Scales, probably played the most in back 4 in a League and Cup double winning team . Imagine how even better he could have been if he and Taylor hadn’t drawn the short straws amongst our supporters and had been praised and encouraged instead of harshly critIcised by group of fans.

Mckenha is better than lagerbielke and rocki and on a free there's no gamble. I'd say he was probably better than scales and a lot more physical. do we need better yes but he'd be good back up.

McKenna as a back up CB would work well, certainly domestically.
It also means, in terms of the homegrown quota, we could get rid of Welsh, who should never get close to the first team again.
