dunning1874 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 When we were playing 3-5-2 under McCormack he was usually at right wing back, but I don't recall him ever being at right back in that period.

Indeed. He played nearly all of his football at wing back for the first couple of seasons, in Cowboy's favoured 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 or all out crazy attack (02-03, 03-04). The only thing I can't rule out is Millar filling in at right back mid-way through the 04-05 season. We had a period where McInally was trying to change the defensive personnel at the club and there were some really odd combinations in a few matches. But I don't think he did, Collins was back at right back that season until he jumped ship, Keenan was at left back for a while and we had some odd combinations at centre back. I think that was when Weatherson started his shift to the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good tribute It can be filed under football trivia I suppose, though it’s the only thread that’s been active recently so I will revert with anything I get back from GMFC or The Tele’.

Mr.Blue Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I had in my mind that Millar was a right back but he did play most of his first stint with us at right wing back. Did he move into centre midfield right away at St. Johnstone? There's a storm on the horizon And for that I can't see the sun For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement For the ice cream van to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamOakTree Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I believe he played the entirety of his St Johnstone career in Central Midfield. This is according to online stats and Wikepedia as well as my recollection. I couldn’t find such specific stats referring to his positions played with Morton.

Did he move into centre midfield right away at St. Johnstone? He played brilliantly for us at centre mid before he left. He had been either right mid or centre mid once we moved to a back 4 in 04/05. When Finlayson came in the next year he became the main player on the right (in the 4 and latterly in the 5 across the middle). It had been a bit of an area of contention for a couple of seasons among the fans because some would have rathered Jamie Stevenson in that central role. It wasn't really until after he signed the pre contract with St Johnstone that the consensus among fans was that he could be a really good centre mid.
