Jim Turns Out For Unirea

In the story linking Jim McAlister with a move to Unirea Urziceni the Scottish Sun also revealed that the Romanians were trying to arrange it so that he could feature in a bounce match against Plymouth Argyle - well they did, and he played according to greenockmorton.org poster steveoath, who went to the match (Jim is pictured, left: pulling up his socks in a Unirea strip*).

In his post on the greenockmorton.org messageboard Steve said: "Just back from the game. Jim got about 25/30 minutes. He was played as a winger (part of a front three). He started on the left and switched to the right later on. He didn't really get a chance to impose himself - only had a few touches but managed a difficult shot that flew past the post."

He also added that Morton chairman Douglas Rae and his son Crawford were both present and sat in the wee stand.
