We can still sign a defender before the Celtic game as long as they're a free agent. Therefore Tom McIntyre (left sided CB) didn't need to be done before the transfer window closed.

Holding Lutz responsible for everything is a weird flex. Considering he's been busy with recruitment and interviews, I don't think he's spent a great deal of time on the training ground or picking the team. There is an option to buy Geiger. And if we're talking long term, there is also Kjartansson, Marshall and a summer transfer window.

A "significant fee" paid apparently

Zak Vyner (remember him?). Just signed for Wrexham, who are play-off hopefuls in the English Championship. All I remember of his time here was a cracking goal in a 3-0 win at Fir Park.

Post Thelin, yes, but for the past 12 months, no. I think Lutz comments that he wants a manager that needs to "reflect a certain emotion and a certain fire, which I think is extremely important to get this team going and get the players behind you" was some acknowledgement that he doesn't feel the correct standards have been set.

Lutz (and Leven) have both come out recently and criticised the lack of work rate and accountability from players. While many of your points are true, I think there's definitely been an element of coasting from many players. And I'm not convinced the pressure to perform is as high as it should be.

Reading up on Geiger, his goals and assists for a midfielder is not too bad, especially when you consider the level he's been playing at (Bundesliga, Champions League & Europa League). Also holding midfielder appears to just be one of a few positions - plays a lot at CM and sometimes as an attacking midfielder. Derek Rae's description of a "tenacious midfielder" suggest he'll give us badly needed energy. Obviously, hasn't played much over the past two seasons, but if it's true Ajax, Besiktas, Panathinaikos and AEK Athens were all tracking him then he might not be too bad. These highlights are a bit old, but good to see a potential strutting his stuff at a full Allianz Arena rather than trying to judge him off some U21 highlights in front of two men and a dog.

Thought you said Miovski and that you had lost it. But now I see it actually says Mitov, and you've convinced me. All my life savings placed at the bookies on it.

I've bought a replica of the World Cup for our work's summer prediction league, and even though I know it's an £8 replica, I still look at it longingly like it's the real thing. I'm very easily pleased.

Got my hands on this gorgeous bit of silver tonight.

No. All the fun has been sucked out of this managerial search.

The only way it will be Leven until summer will be if we're in the unusual situation of rejecting everyone we've interviewed, or being rejected by everyone we've interviewed.

Good read. Includes video.

Oddly, Aberdeen haven't actually bothered to explain why it was moved. It's been up to Motherwell to inform our fans why.

I'm working Saturday and off the Sunday, so delighted with this. Might even go. Just need similar to happen to Hearts away...

Speak for yourself, I've just ordered a shirt with his name on the back.

Sarcasm is lost on you It was a running joke his penalty record at Aberdeen wasn't great. The top video - that was actually St Mirren's third penalty of the match, they scored the first two.

You just know we're going to get a penalty, and for the first time in his life Kelle Roos will save one.

You know you're not getting to bed early enough when you read "deepest, darkest" as "Budapest" and think we're in for a cracking away day Kilmarnock are proper shite, but then we were very fortunate to take all three points there last time. There's a chance a new manager could be announced, but Leven still in charge for this one, unless it's made early in the week. Whoever is in charge, tough run of games after this: Celtic (h), Motherwell (h), Dundee United (a), Motherwell (a). So kinda important we take something up the road.

It was one of their main selling points at the beginning. Think they've slowly put it to the bottom of the list of benefits now..

And the promise that we'll be first choice for season tickets in the new stadium...

Time stopped at that point. And I swear he hit that shot in slow motion.

Great game, despite a terrible referee. Shinnie ran midfield. Frame a delight. Topi becoming the player we all hoped he would. Nisbet again about to have a better second half of the season than first? Obviously helped by Livingston not being particularly good. If that's Leven's last game as interim then nice way to sign off.
