Lucas Stenhouse has been loaned to Boness United until January.

Wonder if we have finally had some solid interest in Nouble to allow us to spend cash on a transfer fee. 4 year deal apparently so it may well be spaced out in instalments like the George deal. Not playing in the same position but this is giving me Wes Hoolahan vibes. He looks really small and their coach has talked about him having a bad attitude. On the positive side, he appears to have a good delivery based on the limited clips I've seen.

Big fan of this.

Jon Guthrie.

Pete O'Rourke was one of the first to report our interest in Shamal George so he's fairly reliable.

The interview wasn't clear but we've had bounce games before at the Rangers training centre. Would imagine it being quite difficult to play the game at Almondvale with the fans on the hill.

Behind closed doors friendly against Rangers on Friday.

Sure he will have a number of targets already given we were already looking for options in that position. Not sure how I will feel about this until we know how much the bid was. It's a big life change for Anderson, I'm not certain he will go either. Edited to add: Theo Bair is a wild shout given we already have Guthrie. Should be a replacement for Anderson or a completely different option as a plan b.

19/20 was not bad. Motherwell (H), St. Johnstone (A), Ross County (A), St. Mirren (H), Rangers (A), Aberdeen (H) and Hamilton (A).

21/22 was particularly bad. Rangers (A), Aberdeen (H), Motherwell (H), Hibs (A), Dundee (A), Celtic (H), Hearts (A). This season marginally better but also a stinker.

Dave Black mentioned 2 more friendlies in a recent interview he did. After Queen's Park, there may be one more to be announced.

I see Sangare has taken #20 which was Bitsindou's squad number.

“I’ve taken on this role in spite of the legacy issues ongoing behind the scenes, which predate my involvement at the club, and I will review my situation if and when needed." The alleged fraud cause with Neil Hogarth? Interesting that line was included.

Robinson has said he is heading down south. Good player for us to look at should he want to come back to Scotland in future. I would also be looking at Joe Shaughnessy if we didn't have a million centre backs.

Maybe Obileye will play further forward next year?

Big risk. Hope he can stay fit.

Bitsindou was in the stand today. I'm not sure he would bother if he was told to move on.

I agree with a lot of your post but don't think this is helpful in making ourselves look more attractive to players.

Agree with him re Devlin. The reaction I saw today was over the top even if I'm his biggest critic. Brandon should have started by now but I think Devlin has still been trying even if his performances haven't been great (not the worst in the squad). I don't think he's that good anyway and him having this big life change on his mind may have regressed him. Not a fan of booing your own team at games.

Gutted for Accies as much as Airdrie have deserved promotion based on their recent near misses. Hope you can reset and come back stronger like we did.

Yeah I said on the match thread that the midfield were most at fault but I still think the ball was bouncing around the box for way too long.

Exciting Lanarkshire derby playoff game on but rather than live commentary, they have some Hearts fan chatting away with Lee McCulloch.

Yes but I'm not yet convinced we should be starting next season with De Lucas and Boyes at centre back. The equaliser felt very similar to a lot of goals we have conceded this year, no urgency to get the ball away. Parkes did well when he came off the bench.
