Craig: Ross is a Perfect Fit for Town

Former Town U18s skipper Liam Craig believes his friend and former team-mate Jack Ross would be “a perfect fit” for the Blues.
St Mirren boss Ross was interviewed by Town last week and is speaking to owner Marcus Evans for a second time this week. We understand the 41-year-old is, as things stand, one of two contenders to take over at Portman Road along with Shrewsbury’s Paul Hurst.
The Blues are yet to formally approach the Shrews to speak to Hurst with the Shropshire side having reached the League One play-off final which takes place a week on Sunday but it s understood they have had strong indications he is keen on the role.

“There is nothing we can do,” Caldwell told the
Shropshire Star. “It is down to the success we’ve had this season and last since he’s come here.
