Scout report

Experienced headWinger

S. May is a 33-year-old winger at Livingston, rated 14.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 65th of 69 on scout potential in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (55.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on May.

Judged on this season alone, May graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 2nd of 4 of the 4 wingers in the Premiership, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 34 appearances (0.188 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 14). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 4th of 4 of the 4 wingers in the Premiership. At 33 May is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 34 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14.6, May carries the 4th-highest potential of the wingers in the Premiership of 4, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Livingston finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
