I like Maguire, because he has a bit of football in him too. Still a bit raw at times, but more first team games should get help him get rid of the odd rash tackle and overambitious pass.

Depends on your age, I suppose, but I remember when Ayr Utd were a mid-table SPL team (when it was a pretty ruthless 10 team league).

Obviously I meant this as my half-time prediction.

When Celtic were struggling last season Turnbull was often one of the standouts. However, he's still young and needs good players around him. He shouldn't be trying to carry the team. Of course, the sooner he moves on, the sooner we get our next sell-on fee, so here's hoping he gets fed up ASAP.

I wouldn't worry about that - American sports fans don't even have leagues where every team plays each other, never mind relegation.

Select ones. Games listed so far: (All times U.S./Eastern) Saturday, July 31 Rangers vs. Livingston, 8:30 a.m. (Paramount+) Hearts vs. Celtic, 3 p.m. (Paramount+) Sunday, Aug. 1 Aberdeen vs. Dundee United, 10 a.m. Motherwell vs. Hibernian, 11:30 a.m. (Paramount+) Monday, Aug. 2 Kilmarnock vs. Ayr United, 2:45 p.m. (Paramount+) Saturday, Aug. 7 Dundee United vs. Rangers, 7:30 a.m. (CBS Sports Network) Friday, Aug. 20 Raith Rovers vs. Dunfermline, 2:45 p.m. (Paramount+) Sunday, Aug. 22 Dundee FC vs. Hibernian, 7 a.m. (CBS Sports Network) Sunday, Aug. 29 Rangers vs. Celtic, 7 a.m. (CBS Sports Network) Saturday, Sept. 11 St. Johnstone vs. Rangers, 7:30 a.m. (CBS Sports Network) Sunday, Sept. 12 Hearts vs. Hibernian, 7 a.m. (Paramount+) Sunday, Sept. 19 Dundee United vs. Dundee FC, 7 a.m. (Paramount+) Sunday, Sept. 26 St. Mirren vs. Aberdeen, 7 a.m. (Paramount+)

Watching the Dundee v St Mirren game and saw Curtis Main put through with just the keeper to beat. Do you think he scored?* *he didn't score

Ayr Utd winning the Champions League would be punching above their weight.

For US based, now that the SPFL has a (4 year, I think) deal with CBS Sports, our game is live on Paramount+ Looks like games are going to be split between Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network services.

Most of the club captain responsibilities are off the park. Who does the shouting on the pitch is a different matter (see Liam Kelly, Tony Watt etc.)

Sadly, once you have one serious injury, others often follow.

Another transfer made it over the Finnish line.

I was thinking more about the one hand with 10 fingers you were counting with.

Is that a Larkhall hand you've got there?

I thought he'd signed the new contract to ensure we received a small fee when he did, inevitably, move on. However, as we got him for nothing, it wouldn't be terrible if is next move is a free.

There's a lot of random internet disclosing of undisclosed fees that are worth about as much as the paper they're printed on.

It's the "punching above our weight" patter that annoys me the most. There's a hundred good reasons a club with less resources can field a competitive team, and classifying it as "punching above our weight" is patronizing at best. As for the league, it's impossible to predict what our team will do this early in the season with a stack of new players and more to come. Far too soon to write us off or have us in the top 6. The way things are structured now, you typically don't get a feel for things until September.

We might be able to figure it out from the next set of financials. Pure speculation on my part, but I'd guess we gave up a large chunk of a future sell-on to QPR in order to bring him in cheap. With a 3 year contract, we'll sell him on (with his international caps) after year 2 and pass on most of the profit to his old club. Simple The fact that it took a "long period of negotiation" to arrange certainly made it sound like it was a bit more complex than a free or small-fee kind of transfer.

That would be the "Big Devante" that struggled last season until GA helped turn his form around.

A 20 year old with 5 first team appearances and 16 second team appearances sounds more like a prospect than a replacement.

It certainly sounded like O'Donnell's new contract was set up in way to give him the opportunity to move on, while putting a few quid in our bank account. I'm sure GA has a few targets to replace him if it does happen.

I read somewhere that GA was expecting one more signing this week.

2 ‐ 1 to the good guys. Van Veen and Lamie.

Should certainly give him a chance to get a run of games and see where it takes him - St Mirren, probably...

Partick Thistle looking to take Jake Hastie on loan. That could be a good move for him.
