Congratulations to Kieran, capped off a fantastic season to be picked for Trinidad to play South Korea in Salt Lake City on the 30th.

Well deserved after the season he`s had.

Strange to be announcing a national squad only 4 days before a game. They have another friendly, away in Russia, on the 9th so he may end up selected for that too.

He also qualifies for Malawi and has already played in a friendly for them.

We had a player called up for international duty with T&T last year too. Ironically it was Andre Raymond, who was brought in on loan from St Johnstone to replace Kieran at left back.

Ngwenya made his debut against South Korea in salt lake city. He played 90 minutes in a 5-0 defeat.

Son Heung-min played and scored a brace. That would certainly have been a test for the lad!

There is a 12 min highlights clip of the game online. Ngwenya (number 4) playing LCB in a back 3 and seemed to do well. A couple of good interceptions early on, decent positioning etc. Don`t think he was at fault for any of the goals, two of which were penalties, one soft IMHO.
S Korea look strong but TT seemed to hold them for much of the first half. Some of Kieran`s team mates look a bit naive, as you might expect, but he seemed to give a good account of himself. Well done that man. What an experience to play against Son!

Great experience for the lad. Would love to see him stick around next season as one of the most consistent performers this year.

Some turnaround for the boy…seemed destined for Kelty and now he’s stateside playing internationals against Son Heung-min! 👏🏻

He was born in Glasgow. He should have been playing for Scotland in 2 or 3 years…….

Let’s rewind 6 months. Many thought he was destined for League one nevermind Scotland.
Fair play to him for his turnaround and he will only get better.
He’s found his position now.

The Daily Record is reporting that he is heading to St Mirren. I am disappointed that we are losing him.

That would be a very disappointing thing to see. St Mirren? Surely a title push with us is a better prospect. They’re heading nowhere and that new manager won’t last long.

Maybe losing players to St Mirren and St Johnstone is a reality check for some fans on us being a big club. Lennon got his work cut out…..the attraction of “playing for” him maybe isn’t all that.

Strange decision to make a side step to St Mirren.

This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

You`re a Pars fan, Generalissimo, and it shows. 😁

Kieran Ngwenya is a professional footballer and just like Matty Todd, he has to look after No 1. It`s all very well you suggesting that a potential title push in the Championship is a more enjoyable prospect than a potential relegation struggle in the Premiership, but you`re comparing apples and oranges. If all other variables were constant, I would agree with you, but they aren`t.

If he accepts St Mirren`s offer, he will undeniably be playing at a higher level, a challenge he would almost certainly find attractive. It`s also likely that St Mirren will be able to offer him a more lucrative deal, and given that they don`t need to pay a transfer fee, they might even offer him a decent signing on fee.

The parallels with Matty Todd`s move to St Johnstone are inescapable.

Eta. This notion that the Pars are a "bigger club" than the likes of St Mirren and St Johnstone is demonstrably untrue. These clubs are "bigger" because they play at a higher level and command a bigger budget. When we reach the Premiership and can boast higher average attendances, we can then make such a claim.



Not your average Sunday League player.

With the summer transfer window shortly upon us, Football League World can exclusively reveal the identity of a player who has emerged on the radar of at least two more League One sides alongside outfits north of the border.

The very fact that these rumours are circulating, obviously leaked by someone. Suggest to me he will be off. He may have told the club already, but NL eluded to it at the cup final. I suspect the same with JCM.

FIVE CLUB CHASE FOR £0 TRANSFER DEAL

FLW understands that the transfer target in question is Dumfermline Athletic defender Kieran Ngwenya, who has been linked with a number of clubs in recent times as he prepares to leave the Scottish second-tier side at the end of his contract this month.

Sources have revealed that Plymouth and Blackpool have now joined the race for Ngwenya`s services, with the pair looking to rival the likes of Motherwell, Orient and Burton Albion after they were all previously credited with interest by Football Insider`s Pete O`Rourke.

It`s understood, however, that Plymouth and Blackpool are only facing further competition in their pursuit of the highly-rated 23-year-old.

That`s because FLW has also learned that two more Scottish Premiership suitors in Dundee FC and St. Mirren are in the race for Ngwenya after the central defender caught the eye at Dumfermline in the second-tier last time out, while Orient`s interest has also persisted.

Ngwenya, who previously earned a solitary cap for Malawi in 2021 but debuted with the Trinidad and Tobago national side against South Korea just last week, made 27 appearances across all competitions in the 25/26 season, scoring four times in league action.

The Glasgow-born defender came through Aberdeen`s ranks, though he fell short of making the grade at Pittodrie and has instead made a name for himself in the Scottish Championship, where he has accumulated a wealth of experience in recent seasons.

Now seeking a new challenge, it will be interesting to see where the Trinidad and Tobago international ends up in the coming weeks and months

I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t end up at Plymouth or Blackpool.

He has been sensational since he came back into the team this season and thoroughly deserves any move he makes.
