I couldn't care less if he's been out for 9 months.
He's had plenty of time to train. If he showed in training he was this worldbeater some of you are making out, he would have played as a striker. It's simple.
He isn't very good imo.
Jelavic said he loved playing alongside Naismith at Rangers and that he was a great player.
And seeing as he's our best striker by a country mile i'll trust his opinion.
