Rangers' Nuno Capucho remonstrating against Dunfermline's plastic pitch in 2003. Jim says synthetic surfaces have come a long way since then.

Spencey reckons the “luddites” holding back wider adoption will soon be defeated by those who see the real benefits synthetic can bring both financial and in rewarding more skilful players.
Read his thoughts in full only in Saturday’s Courier.
