#167: Alec Thomson, Co-Founder and CEO of Riskcast Solutions, a Construction Management Platform for the Field, on Navigating Pricing, Building the Sales Engine of a B2B SaaS Company, and Digitizing the Construction Industry

The History Bhoys Abroad are on episode 35 and today we present a player profile of someone who racked up 451 appearances for Glasgow's finest as well as scoring 101 goals. His name is Alec Thomson. In the 1920s, when Gallacher, McGrory and Maley's names rang out, Celtic had men like Thomson on hand to deliver balls into the box for McGrory to crash home. Alec Thomson was a tricky, reliable player that Maley called upon for 12 years and a man that earned the nickname EverReady.   An oft-forgotten and awkward time due to the lack of trophies, players like Thomson were Celtic's star men that consistently turned out for the Hoops between the War years. We felt it was correct to give a man recognition who proudly sits in the 100 goal club.   Join us.  twitter.com/BhoysAbroad historybhoys@gmail.com facebook.com/HistoryBhoysAbroad
