Welcome back to Adams Park to Scott McGleish.

Now here’s hoping he can do the talking – only on the pitch.

Because McGleish could still prove to be a crucial player to Wycombe’s promotion prospects.

The ex-Barnet striker enjoyed a fantastic 2007-08 season and his 26 goals were the main reason that Wycombe made the play-offs under Paul Lambert.

You did not hear a whimper from Scott off the pitch under Lambert’s reigns, although he was certainly a lively presence on it – both vocally and in terms of goals.

McGleish was the cool, calm head in front of goal last time out and few would have predicted that he would have such a turbulent 2008-09 season.

But then came the tantrums. Wycombe lost against Stockport in the play offs and McGleish let fly to this very paper when Lambert left the club.

He was initially first choice striker at the start of the season but several falls out with Taylor ensured the relationship with his manager became strained.

After giving all the signs that he did not want to be at the club, he requested a transfer verbally after being dropped for the game at Barnet – only to withdraw it.

Not surprisingly he was shipped off on loan to Northampton for three months.

Now he’s back.

At 34, McGleish has probably got two good years left in him. I believe he will be welcomed back by fans, players and management – despite his off the field attitude.

But you cannot fault McGleish’s attitude on the pitch itself. Even during the really bad times he always gave his all for the club.

Even this season when on as substitute at Grimsby and Barnet, he ran his socks off.

At Blundell Park, he was asked to play in a more withdrawn role. His performance that day helped earn the club a valuable point.

I think McGleish may have learned his lesson. But he has three choices: He can leave and join someone else now? He can aim for 10 goals to fire Wycombe to promotion and end his career on a high? Or he can continue to sulk?

What’s it to be Scott?
