David Marshall insists Shaun Maloney should be in top flight
DAVID MARSHALL believes Shaun Maloney is a player at the peak of his powers after another match-winning performance in the crucial victory over the Republic of Ireland.
Scotland goalkeeper Marshall insists his good friend should be playing in England’s top flight, rather than fighting relegation with Wigan in the Championship.
“Stepping down can be difficult because he has that quality, but you can see from the start of this campaign that he has scored three goals and put in some really good performances.
“In my head he should be playing Premiership football, but the gaffer has a lot of trust in him and he works so hard.
“We have a good relationship – I share a room with Shaun.
“Technically he is very good. That’s one thing you know about him – you are always going to get good deliveries and shots from him.
