On Thursday it was Nottingham Forest, Friday Torino and today Albion Rovers.
After extensive speculation about clubs interested in signing Rocco Vata the teenage winger was back in action today in the Lowland League- scoring for the fourth match running.
Albion Rovers are new opponents but for Vata it is a third successive season in the Lowland League which is at least three tiers below where he should be playing at.
Ben Summers and Ben McPherson have stepped up to the Championship at Dunfermline and Queens Park but stuck in a contract stalemate Vata is still on duty at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie.
Don’t sell Vata, Rocco Vata, I just don’t think you understand, cos if you sell Vata, Rocco Vata, yer gonny have a riot on yer handssss
