Scott McLean is he JG's next target?
Scott Mclean the 25 year old striker from Scottish first division club Partick Thistle is rumoured to be John Gregorys next target in his search for a striker.

Mclean is nearing the end of his two and a half year contract with the Jags but there are rumours that Derby could well step in with a £250,000 bid. Although not in top form this season following a pre-season injury, Scott did average a goal in every second game in last season's 2nd Division Championship winning side. Scoring 17 goals in 34 matches.

Nicknamed "Trigger" after the "only fools and horses" charector, Scott is the first to admit he is not the brightest player on the Partick Thistle books.
