The curious case of Benjamin Siegrest.

Benjamin Siegrest, remember him? Our third choice goalkeeper who was signed back in 2022 on a free transfer from Dundee United.

Ben has since made a solitary competitive appearance in his time at the club. Indeed the only way you would know he was still here is through his numerous social media posts which are a regular occurrence.

Ben was considered a decent signing when he joined the club two years ago, and with good reason as he showed his ability against us on more than a few occasions with Dundee United during his time at tayside.

Despite him being highly rated, he was mainly seen as third choice behind Scott Bain under the management of Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers.

Both managers however would have seen more of the keepers up close than me or you, so they must have had good reason to regard Ben as third choice.

With Ben now having more or less confirmed that he’s set to leave the club this summer, it remains a mystery as to why he couldn’t muster more first team appearances than he did.
