NEILsTON co-manager John Paul Dow insists he can’t wait to see what the Farmer’s Boys latest recruits can do next season.

Dow and fellow co-manager Martin Campbell this week added defender Ross Geddes, three strikers in John Paterson, Craig Patterson and former Rangers prospect Danny Storey.

That takes the Farmer’s Boys squad to 18, nearing the 20 Dow and Campbell are aiming for.

Dow is delighted with the business they have been able to do.

He said: “Danny Stoney has a lot of quality and is still only 20 years old, you don’t play three first team games for Rangers without that. He’s showed flashes in training, we’re really excited to see what he can do this season.

“Ross Geddes is a big, no-nonsense defender. He’s very keen and he’s very mobile.

“John Paterson has played with Port Glasgow and a few amateur teams, we’ve known about him for a while. He works really hard.

“We signed Craig Patterson as well who is another striker but a different type of striker. He played with St Anthony’s, he was in training with Rossvale and I think Irvine Meadow wanted him in as well.

“But he’s a Neilston boy and we had him in from the start of pre-season and he liked what we are trying to do and we’re delighted he’s signed.”

Dow also revealed the Neilston will be enlisting the help of a European Cup Winners Cup winner throughout the season.

Former Aberdeen defender John McMaster is an old friend of Dow and Campbell and has agreed to do some coaching session with the team during the season.

McMaster played over 200 games for Aberdeen and started in the Dons famous 2-1 extra-time win over Real Madrid in the Cup Winners Cup final of 1983.

Dow can’t wait for his Neilston squad to take on some lessons fromMcMaster.

He said: “John McMaster has done sessions for us at Greenock Juniors. We’ve got close ties with John, he’s from the same scheme as us, He’s very good at putting on coaching sessions.

“John will be up a few times over the course of the season. He’s still scouting for Swansea and Aberdeen so he’s still well involved in football.

“He’ll come and watch us from time to time and he’ll pass on what he thinks, we’ll take that on board because you can’t not listen to a guy who has done what he has in the game.”
