Burley Backs Tade

Last updated : 25 October 2011 By Caleyjagsadmin

Gregory Tade's impressive start to his SPL career has won him praise from former Scotland manager George Burley.

The big Frenchman hit the goal which gave Caley Jags three points against St Mirren at Inverness and he is starting to get into his stride after playing First Division with Raith Rovers.

Tade posed all sorts of problems for the Celtic centre backs at Parkhead recently and that performance has made some influential names sit up and take note.

Caley Jags gaffer Terry Butcher told the official ICTFC website: "Gregory is beginning to make his mark. He puts in a tremendous shift every time and makes life extremely uncomfortable for defenders.

"George Burley came to the St Mirren game as he is father in law to our Chris Hogg. But he left raving about Tade and his potential.

"George liked him very much, and he's not someone to give praise lightly, so Gregory can take that as a real compliment. People are beginning to pay attention to him."
