    • It'll depend on what, if anything, Clarke wants to do differently from the last time. That he didn't use two defenders doesn't necessarily mean he thinks it was a mistake to take them. He regularly brings players to squads without giving them gametime. What they bring to the group and what he wants to do training wise will factor into his selection, along with how many differences he wants to make to how he fills his squad compared to last time, or if he felt that was more or les bang on. He could depart significantly from the way he made up his squad last time, but he rarely seems to make significant departures. I'd expect it to be similar vis a vis number of defensive options, and 1 or 2 players either way is not a significant departure. Him going for extras this time as added cover given the circumstances around right back and Grant Hanley is plausible. I certainly don't think he'll take less than 10. He might, but that would be a departure from the norm. Three right backs (Hickey and two covers), Tierney, two left backs (Robertson and one other) and six centre backs takes you to twelve without it being especially outrageous or ludicrous.  If he ends up taking Porteous, Hanley, Hendry, McKenna, Cooper and Souttar I don't imagine anyone stands back in astonishment, especially since there will be fitness doubts over Hanley and the fact that he seems to greatly value Cooper. One of those not making it is entirely possible, especially since Tierney is going to be playing but again, I'm not sure what forward or midfielder gets the space opened up by dropping one or more of those listed players. He might decide just to take two right backs, he might decide to use Tierney and Hickey as his back up leftbacks and not have any at all on the bench, but the defensive make up of the squad is unlikely to be far off that. 10 defenders plus McTominay last time , I don't see what's ludicrous or especially mental about suggesting he might take 11 plus an extra right back this time, all things considered. 
    • Yes, but there was more to him than that.

    • Did Price deliver the boards objectives of winning the league and getting promotion NO,so he should go,if he stays just shows this boards lack of ambition as Price will not deliver the league. The lack of of communication towards the fans also shows our opinions don’t matter,we’ll be prepared for less season ticket sales for next season and dwindling crowds.
    • It was quite a prominent article with photo in one of the Sundays, the Sunday Mail I think. George said Morton have been great for him, taking him from an unhappy stint at ICT to a greatly enjoyable time at Cappielow. He said he’ll wait till the last ball is kicked this season before thinking through his options. I get the feeling if we sell the idea we’re going for promotion then he’ll stay.
