Spiers...clueless
It feels like Luke Matheson has been around for a while already, but the right-back is still only 19. He has had an interesting year, out at Hamilton Academical in the Scottish Championship and then with Scunthorpe United, rock-bottom in League Two, from January onwards.
Expectations with Matheson are lofty. That is what comes with a £1 million fee and a career that was sky-rocketed by scoring at Old Trafford for Rochdale. After a challenging year it is now about turning his career curve upwards again. With 11 starts for Scunthorpe and eight for Hamilton he’s still played roughly 40 per cent of the available minutes this season, which is good for his age, and while he hasn’t set the world alight at either club it’s been good for him to reunite with former boss at Rochdale, Keith Hill, with Scunthorpe. File a 7-0 defeat to Bristol Rovers on the final day of the campaign as “character building”.
