BBC Scotland back on message after dropping undisclosed fee from their Nathan Patterson story
After initially reporting Nathan Patterson’s fee to Everton as undisclosed BBC Scotland have got in-line with a claim that the fee is £11.5m.
That works out at much more than £1m for each match that he has started in the SPFL Premiership.

The fee from Everton has been the subject of incredible spin but even in the madness of the EPL £11.5m for James Tavernier’s understudy is an incredible fee.
No one knows the precise details of the deal but all of the Ibrox messengers have been talking up the deal.
There have been some dissenting voices, being in mind that Demarai Gray was Everton’s record summer signing at £1.75m from Bayer Leverkusen.
On Saturday Everton are away to Hull in the FA Cup with the pressure on Rafa Benitez after one win in 12 matches.
Patterson to Everton done, £10.2m (£5m up front) potentially going up to £15.2m, Rangers will be due £1m for every 50 starts he makes within the original timeframe of his first contract, there’s also a 10% sell-on clause on any profit within the next three years, 5.5yr deal.
