Over 7000 square metres to aim at and Foxy still can't hit that target with a goal kick!

Assuming: 1 No delay in getting away from ground 2 No road works or adverse weather conditions 3 Joe (Jags fan and driver extraordinaire) at the wheel We've certainly achieved this timescale in the past and normally arrive in Dingwall early enough for driver to have statutory break before return journey. Maybe a tad optimistic for March, but certainly back by ten. PS Confidently expect majority to vote for straight back option.

Allowing for a stop en route, should be back in Glasgow for between nine and nine thirty. Earlier if the consensus is for a run straight back.

Billy Stark - a shoe in? "Coincidentally" recently stood down as Scotland Under 21 Coach. Well respected in Paisley - perhaps not the greatest accolade in the world! A better bet than an untried Steven Thomson but, given their position - both financial and in the league, who knows?

Can drop you anywhere en route to Pittodrie but limited time available for more than a quick pint. A few watering holes near the ground would be your best bet. The city centre isn't really an option in terms of time.

Part of the fabric of the game for so long before we had (anti)social media to keep us up to date. And what an acronym from his initials! Respect.

Cappielow? I must have missed that being announced, or is it a closed door fixture? Not on Morton site.

Saddened to learn that David Taylor - former SFA Chief Exec, UEFA bigwig and, most importantly, a regular at Firhill before heading abroad, has died aged only 60. Was talking to him at the Nigeria match and he seemed in fine fettle, enjoying the game with sons James and Alan. Sincere condolences to his wife Cathy and his sons.

Agreed if up by £25 - 25% would be another matter!
