Obviously need to wait and see where we are after the Ross game, after all, this time last year Clyde and McCall effectively knocked us out this competition.

Nose - Lawrie Shoulder - Denis

Charlie Smith- Alex Forsyth behind him - Hugh Strachan Jackie Campbell Rough John Gibson Jimmy Bone and Tommy Rae

Personally I would like to see a “Sampdoria type” 150 years strip. Navy blue top with red/yellow/black thinnish hoops and white shorts. Just a thought though.

Apart from the comedy show in the Dundee game he never really registered with me other than he was ex Falkirk and he shared a name with a former Thistle captain. I imagine he is a bit more chilled nowadays, has grown up and moved on from the panto dame role.

Let’s be honest, the media will jump onto the “ex Old Firm” narrative - lazy journalism but might get us some cheap publicity.

We’ve lost better players than Brian Graham in the past but back then we had some adequate replacements (albeit perhaps not as good as A Hansen, Bone, Forsyth, Johnston, Somner, Melrose etc.). The downside now is that the cupboard seems a bit bare when looking to replace him. Hope he knocks in a few Premier League goals though.

Perhaps the fee for Graham will pay the pyrotechnic fine.

Perhaps the Board and their Associates will supply the whitewash.

Ross appear to be dipping into the chairman's bank account early in this window with the acquisition of Gallacher from Dundee United - which might be an indication of the challenges we might face as regards our own recruitment in order to make some kind of impression in the league this coming season.

He went to Clyde and was never seen again Poor old Johnny Flanagan

Ross St Johnstone Raith Ayr Dunfermline Morton Us Airdrie Arbroath QP

Johnston - the lamented Maurice Johnstone - the unlamented Derek Bobby Russell?

Wonder what vessel they got over and if they went via Wemyss Bay or Gourock or even from Craigendoran!😀

Lest this become a summer of discontent?

If it’s “Truth Social” it’ll be a lie though!!

Milngavie Jag - to give them their Sunday name - is absolutely spot on. St Johnstone and Ross will be favourites for the top spots leaving the rest scrambling for play off places - not a happy prospect for a new manager.

In my view players such as Docherty, Moult and Gallagher at Dundee U are way above the financial capabilities of the club - and we might be well below their aspirations as far as a club they might to join is concerned. We need to take a more rational and balanced approach to this summer’s recruitment- something which I think was lacking at this time last year. Interesting times ahead in many ways this close season perhaps.

I see Baz is available!!!🙀

FT i cannot disagree with your assessment - indeed looking back our lack of preparation was ruthlessly exposed as early as the Clyde defeat which predates the early season penalty/sendings off fiascos!

For me, all the damage surrounding this mediocre season was done in those early games of the season when sendings off and conceding penalties seemed to be obligatory. The season was hobbled from then and injuries, inevitable suspensions and playing catch up from that point on was never going to have a great outcome. in six weeks time there will be the dawning of a new season - much work requires to be done in the interim if a repeat, as regards the disappointment of 2024/25, is to be avoided, in my view.

Maybe we are waiting to see if Barry gets the HRangers gig? 😂

As long as Friday's game is still meaningful after tonight then that will be a minor win given the availability issues.

Perhaps a J Low we can all be proud of?

Alex Forsyth scored for us, scored against us and scored an own goal for us when playing for the dark side
