Old firm would never give that sort of money to another Scottish Club. No chance they risk one of us getting money that might allow us to challenge them.

Good point on lack of VAR. It definitely helped game be an enjoyable watch.

Airdrie look good side and will be better than some of the dross at the bottom of league this season. Whoever in the recruitment team decided to release Hanncock and pay a fee for McGarry is hopefully no longer employed. Looked a better team when Bojan came on but we desperately need to a winger in as Morris isn’t good enough. Not convinced at all by Rubi and Molloy as a central pairing so think another centre half is a must. Agree that another defensive central mid might be required if Shinnie and Nilsen keep picking up bookings like they are just now.

I think we will have to accept that squad cannot be change over one summer due to the imbalance created over a number of poor windows. However I would like to think there will be some leeway to address some of the issues without moving on all of the dross/selling Miovski first.

Expect this to be toughest test of group games and probably closest to playing a premier level team. Would like to see Rubi and McDonald at the back with Nilsen and Shinnie in the middle in front of them. Think this is game our lack of quality in wide areas might get exposed. Suspect we might start Miovski in this one. I have been impressed with Airdrie under McCabe. They play decent football and if we are not at top of our game we could lose this one. Oot - shite public transport flat tv flat 2-1 Miovski and McGrath

That’s a bit of a nightmare. Suspect that it might be first time that so many players have finished level.

Changes for sake of it looks like. Surprised Molloy gets a game in front of Rubi.

They got through despite losing 2-1 to a 10 man Derry. First time they have ever got through a round in Europe. However I would be stunned if Copenhagen didn’t beat them by double figures over both legs.

Had managed to get a ticket for this but due to wife deceitfully getting out of hospital after her knee op today I have had to get rid of it. Gutted to say the least. Starting 11 did enough last week to start against a team who lost 8 goals in mid week. Really should be looking to thrash this mob, Oot collecting daughter from rehearsals Stream hopefully flat 1-0 Sokler

Think it’s 4 in 15 in the league and 2 in 3 in the Norwegian Cup. Cup goals came against 3rd and 4th division sides.

Kello Roos signed for Italian 3rd division team. Probably his level. https://www.triestina1918.it/it/maschile-news/182/kelle-roos-firma-con-la-triestina

Think we all know there are going to be bids for Miovski so would rather the bidding war started now so we can maximise the fee. Also if we can this settled now we have enough time to get in a replacement (if not going with Sokler) or spend the money elsewhere in the squad.

With him being 18 I would expect him to go on loan again this season to get the game time he needs. Kelty were really pleased with him last season so would expect us to try to loan him to Championship side this season.

Beat me to it Al. His contract is up in the summer so assume he will be away next year.

By half time.

Development team win 4-3 at Turra tonight.

Other teams in our group playing tonight. Airdrie stuck 8 past Wast Kilbride while Queen of the South beat Dumbarton 2-0.

To be fair Clarke matched Southgate’s result against Switzerland and beat Spain without “the strongest squad in the tournament” so might not be a bad shout.

Guessing Graham Potter will be next in.

Spain by far the better team on the night and best team in the tournament. They look like they could have a team that will be a threat at next few tournaments again. Yamal is a joy to watch and with Nico Williams on the other side can see them being team to beat. Leave it to Danes to sum it up.

Messi is not fit to lace Shinnie’s boots.

Young team beat Huntly today. Adam Emslie double And Alfie Bavidge with 1.

I am not as convinced about the squad strength. I think Devlin is a bottom 6 type player would rather we brought in a better right back and moved Devlin to the back up role. Richardson needs moved on as not the required standard. McKenzie is fine at left back and happy with Jensen as back up but McGarry needs moved on as not good enough. Agree we are fine at centre back as looks like we will be playing a 4. Agree with comments on Shinnie and Nilsen. Would be great to play them week in week out but asking players their age to play every ga d is a stretch so would like to see one more defensive mid coming in although Jack Milne did play that type of role when on loan at Kelty. If we do sign someone might be a loan player as they won’t be playing every week. Wide positions still worry me. Saw nothing today to suggest Morris is good enough to play in SPL Think we need to get in at least one if not two wide right players and move Morris on. Besuijen probably needs moved on as well. Don’t think McGrath is as effective wide as he is in the middle behind the striker. Think we need a starting wide left player as well. Think Sokler will be fine replacement for Bojan if/when he is sold but not convinced that any of others would be good enough to step in if Sokler got injured.

Aye apparently only confirmed to clubs this week. Second half not as good as first but overall happy enough with that.
