Alex Greive (Unattached FC)
🗣 "It was a clinical second-half display. I was always going to square it so it was good karma I had a chance after! We're rolling our sleeves up for the final eight games."

🍿 On the whistle with Alex Greive after netting his first goal for #DUFC

Thoughts after the game from Alex. He grabbed an assist for their 3rd goal too.
Great to see him come back in to some semblance of form of late as well. Will hopefully keep up the good work as the season moves towards its end, and given he's out of contract with St Mirren at seasons end.
🎯 Off the mark in tangerine

Unselfishly sets up one goal, then gets his reward soon after with his first strike for Dundee United#FlyingKiwis pic.twitter.com/Mq1bV5PTyd

Next promotion rivals Raith Rovers, in a big game.
Dundee United (1st, 59 pts) host Raith Rovers (2nd, 58 pts, game in hand).
Only 1 team is automatically promoted & the last time the 2 promotion rivals meet this season

Edit - on the bench.
Greive with token 90th min sub appearance. None of the Kiwis in Scotland doing much.
Apparently and somewhat disappointingly related to a tour in the 1970s where they lost to a bunch of amateur teams.
The JourneyFan is a DU supporter. He can probably shed light on 'Dundee United' being Nigerian slang for group of idiots yarn.

Dundee United (1st) looking a good bet now for that automatic promotion spot.
7 pts clear of Raith Rovers (2nd) with 3 games left. Though Raith have a game in hand (play tonight)
Result confirms Dundee United as promoted to the SPL with 1 game left.
Elliot you suspect is Auckland bound
McGarry still contracted 2 more years at the Dons, and it’s rumoured Auckland have signed Francis de Vries at LB

Aberdeen fans always seem to tell us that story....
Hopefully Greive is fit to get a run.

Seems almost certain St Mirren won't re-sign him. Will promoted DU offer him a gig? He has good SPL experience, but didn't really do much for them.
On the radar of Auckland FC? We'll find out soon enough.
Chance of an AWs recall for June's OFC Nations Cup with Wood (and maybe others) unavailable
🏴 Dundee United, where All Whites footballer Alex Greive spent the last 6 months on loan, have won the Scottish Championship 🏆

Greive scored 1 goal & got 2 assists in 624 mins to help Dundee United back up to the Scottish first tier.

I've said previously that he'd be a great signing for Auckland.
I'm pretty sure we're going to be seeing him announced when Auckland start unveiling their signings over the next little while.
Might get an AWs recall in Wood's absence. Though Andre De Jong has been beating down the door a bit.
Baccus has already signed for Mansfield Town on a two-year deal.
MT finished 3rd in League Two, and got promoted to League One for next season.
Baccus is probably a bit embarrassed about his older bro Kearyn, at the moment.

The fact that Baccus has gone to a team quite far down the English pyramid shows how far off the pace the Scottish Prem is outside of Glasgow. As you say, a gig in his home town is probably better for him then staying in GB.
Greive got loaned out by SM, so unless promoted Dundee United want to sign him, Auckland FC is yes likely his best bet.

I hope he's going to be one of the new AFC announcements.

Last weekend was a massive storm requiring clean up in many places across Auckland! Just before you pack it in and move back 😆
Greive is out of contract at St Mirren... though strangely NZF have him listed as a Dundee United player which is where he’d been out on loan. The suspicion is that he’ll re-sign there permanently now that they’ve been promoted but that’s not been announced or anything. Could be an error from NZF or it could be that they’ve let the cat out of the bag.
