And yet no place for Sumo despite his apparent suitability according to Reekie's criteria including having the criminal conviction as per this article. Just as an aside I wonder if the loss of driving licence put paid to his potential move to Pittodrie

SHAMED football star Kris Boyd has been banned from driving after crashing his new pounds 25,000 Mercedes while more than THREE times the drink-drive limit.
The 21-year-old Kilmarnock striker ploughed the high-powered 4x4 over a roundabout as he drove home from a boozy wedding reception.
Cops found the smashed-up car empty, with the keys in the ignition, when they arrived at the crash on the A76 Cumnock road in Ayrshire on June 10.
Scotland Under-21 international Boyd returned to the scene shortly after police began searching for him.
Cops noticed that Boyd's speech was slurred and a breath test showed he was well over the limit.
At Ayr Sheriff Court yesterday, Boyd, of Tarbolton, Ayrshire, pleaded guilty to drink-driving.
The court heard he had 106 microgrammes of alcohol on his breath, while the legal limit is 35.
Sheriff Ruth Anderson banned Boyd from driving for two years and fined him pounds 500. She told him: "I am prepared to recognise you are a first offender and that you co-operated fully with the police."
Fiscal depute Jo Cunningham, prosecuting, said police found Boyd's car as they drove to another incident.
She said: "They started to carry out a search when the accused approached them and said 'It's my car, I was driving. I've had a drink because I was at a wedding'."
Solicitor David McGuire, defending, said Boyd left the scene to try and get a signal on his mobile phone so he could call for help.
He added: "He could have tried to hide but did not.
"He shows not only great regret but total remorse for his actions."
Boyd joins a football drink-drive hall of shame that includes Rangers ace Fernando Ricksen, ex-Celt Mike Galloway and legendary Manchester United star George Best.
Boyd has been tipped for a call-up to Walter Smith's full Scotland side after scoring five goals in a single game against Dundee United last year.
He finished the season as Kilmarnock's top scorer with 19 goals and has been linked with big money moves to Aberdeen, Hearts or the English Premiership.
