The Argyle Podcast | Episode 171

A perfectly imperfect career.

Jamie Ness was a big deal in the youth ranks at Rangers. He was one of a crop of youngsters, alongside future Pilgrim Gregg Wylde, who were highly thought of and tipped to go to the top. And while it didn’t go totally to plan, Jamie made himself a bit of a cult hero.

Injuries blighted him throughout his career. After a stunning introduction to the Ibrox fans, with a 40-yard piledriver against bitter rivals Celtic, injuries and the club going bust meant he had to move on.

A trip to Stoke and a pre-season with Tony Pulis halted his career once more, as on day two he picked up a nasty injury.
After a few further moves, he perhaps played his best football in Devon, arriving at Home Park in the summer of 2017. Without being the standout, his partnership in midfield with David Fox and Antoni Sarcevic almost saw Argyle claim an unlikely play-off place in his first season.

He’s since moved back up north, to Scotland, where he has set up an Academy training young Jamie Ness’ of the future.
