5	-	95+1	1	95+1	1	4/4/83	2001, Clyde

Developed through Clyde’s youth system and Albion snapped him up when they released him. Made his debut in front of 30,000 at Parkhead in a League Cup tie and has scarcely looked back. A right back who is comfortable in defence and coming forward. Linked with English side Wigan Athletic this season.

Team captain and a talisman figure since signing from Arbroath in 2002. Started out with Clydebank and also played with Queen of the South. In fact, George was Player Manager of the Doonhamers for a year in the mid 1990s. Very popular with the Albion supporters.

Played over one hundred games for Celtic in the early 1990s before moving down south with Southend United and Stoke City. Moved back to Scotland with Clydebank when Albion picked him up in 2002. Mark now has a coaching role at the club.

A	G	A	G	A	G	Date of Birth	Signed
3	2	61+9	10	61+9	10	11/4/84	2000, SAFC Youths

Made his debut as a 16 year old some 4 years ago. Stewart can play anywhere on the left and loves to get forward for an attempt on goal. Has been troubled with injury during his time at Forthbank. Looked good in early games but has been missing through injury since mid-August.

Chris Scotland

2+2	-	16+4	-	16+4	-	22/3/85	2002, SAFC Youths

Broke into the first team last season when Mark McNally was injured. Scotland settled down to play an important role in Albion’s promotion campaign. A product of the youth set-up at Forthbank and a player to look out for in the future.

Barry Neville

Signed during the summer from Motherwell. Barry plays in defence or midfield an was surplus to requirements at Fir Park. Looked impressive during Albion’s pre-season games.
