Rangers loanee Ross McCrorie will get used to living in a new role with Portsmouth manager Kenny Jackett suggesting that the youngster will be playing at right-back for as long as he stays at Fratton Park, in an interview with The News. “I felt teams had been setting up and leaving us slightly open down that side – and we need an athletic player,” Jackett said. “I do think there’s an athlete there (in McCrorie) that can bring the ball out from the back. My thinking is that athleticism is something we're needed down that right-hand side and that's the reason. We will see how that develops with Ross and whether we can turn that into, not just carrying the ball, but then breaking lines going forward. I do think it’s a position where, if Ross can find his bearings, there's a really good athlete coming out from the back.” McCrorie has been in and out of the Portsmouth team since being sent off on his debut against Shrewsbury Town in August but the Fratton Park faithful have been quite complimentary of him in his new, more attack-minded role.
