Darren Young gets Stirling Albion job to replace another former Don Kevin Rutkiewicz.

Hibs did look poor defensively in cup final but wonder if appointment of Maloney will give them new manager bounce. I have not been impressed with Jenks or Emmanuel Thomas in the games I have watched so not sure if I would start either against Hibs. We also have the issue of McRorie being suspended so we will have to make changes anyway. I just hope Ramsey is not rushed back unless fully fit to fill that gap. oot working collecting Bairn from Nutcracker flat 1-1 Ramirez.

Maloney confirmed as Hibs manager. Interesting appointment and looks very much like Hibs are going down the same road as Dons with their management set up.

Soon as it happened just knew there was no way Beaton gives it. Scottish football is utterly corrupt.

Being reported in Newcastle that they want him back. https://nothingbutnewcastle.com/2021/12/blogs/all-things-newcastle/football-news-aberdeen-loan-matty-longstaff-eddie-howe/amp/ No loss him being returned. Even if Ferguson had been sold we have plenty of cover in central midfield.

Kieran Ngwenya started for Kelty in their 4-0 win over Stranraer and was credited with assist for 3rd. Conor Barron was subbed off in 78th minute of same game. Jack Milne was 72nd minute sub in Brechin’s 4-0 win over Deveronvale and scored 4th goal. Tom Ritchie and Jack MacIver both played 90 minutes of Huntly’s 4-1 over Lossiemouth.

Tommy Wright sacked by Kilmarnock.

Mark Gallagher was a 61st minute sub in Forfar’s 4-0 win away at Edinburgh City. Was at the game and Gallagher did okay when he came on however game was over as a contest when he came on so hard to tell how good he actually is. As an aside we should be looking to put a barrow load past City in the cup. Look a poor side especially defensively. Forfar looked like they would score from every corner.

Come Al you actually expect these work shy colonial types to actually do anything. I mean there is not even a match thread up for next game.

Just so as Rico stops moaning the fixtures for Nations league below.

Sorry was busy trying to find cheap flights to Yerevan and Kiev.

Cannot see St Mirren allowing McGrath to go before the end of the season even if he signs a precontract with us for the same reason. No way they get in a similar quality player in January so there as well keeping him.

Would normally say do a deal to get shot in January but I doubt we will get a player as talented in to replace him. Might just have to stick with him until May.

Darvel 2-2 Brechin City. Darvel win on penalties. Darvel through to play Arbroath away in next round.

Jack Milne was 81st minute sub for Brechin and missed his penalty in the shoot out as they exited from the Scottish Cup following 2-2 draw with Darvel.

Hibs 1-0 up on Dundee. Belter of an own goal.

Ojo charged with assault.

And another.

Jack MacKenzie gets a contract extension.

Surprised to see Watt is only 27. Seems like he has been about for years. He is another of those players who you see one time and think there is a player in there then next time not even notice he is on the field. Maybe he has matured now as Tlg says or maybe a fluke season as Slim says. Given his age might be worth a punt if wages are low enough. Could he play the number 10 role?

Michael Ruth was 68th minute sub in Falkirk’s 3-0 defeat from Cove. Ryan Duncan came off the bench in 62 minutes to score Peterhead’s equaliser in their 1-1 draw with East Fife. Kieran Ngwenya played full game and Connor Barron played 68 minutes of Kelty’s 6-1 win over Albion Rovers. Mark Gallagher was unused sub for Forfar in their 2-0 win over Stirling.

As Rico can’t work copy and paste Old cliche is don’t change a winning team I suppose.

He had left Indy 11 in the summer and was out of work. Vaguely remember him being linked with a number of jobs before so think he has been trying to get back to U.K. for a while.

Falkirk announce Martin Rennie as new manager. Managed at Vancouver and recently at Indy 11 in USL. Allegedly mate of one of new Falkirk board members.

Tomorrow’s game will see us being better able to judge if we have truly turned the corner or just benefited from playing two of weakest teams in the league at home. Expect St Johnstone to sit and force us to try and break them down despite them being home team. Cannot see it being a high scoring game so given my current run of luck at bookies lump on both teams to score. oot Christmas Shopping local game if I get shopping done going online to buy things I have forgotten/didn’t get when I sack it and go to a game. 1-0 Ferguson
