That would be a shame.

St Mirren were in the same boat last season and they finished in the top 6. Sometimes the group stages are a predictor of form for the upcoming season, but it's a bit early to be reliable.

The more successful players are after they leave us the better it is for us. Prospective signings can see we are a good step in their career progression and prospective buying clubs can see the value in players we are selling.

Doonshamers? Take your pick...

Watching the text commentary on the BBC site is like the good old Ceefax days.

Kelly being deployed in his Scotland role tonight. Another interesting line-up. Might not be pre-season, but SK is definitely working through his rotations.

I'm more interested in entertainment and any team we play on grass is much better for that. Not to mention injuries like the on Butcher picked up. I'm happy to see new teams in our league too - would have loved Ayr Utd to have made it this time - but I doubt Dundee are more of a threat than Queens Park. In fact, Queens Park are probably spending more these days to get into the top flight.

Doesn't look like it.

I'm not a fan of Goodwin, but I'd much rather have Utd in our league than Killie or Livi.

From today, according to the Herald. I know it's a different situation in the UK because they are basically just rebranding BT Sport, but I'm not a fan of TNT's coverage in the US. Too much excruciatingly bad banter in the studio.

We could never afford to sign a player like Johnston so there is zero chance we'll be bringing in someone has good as him on a transfer. However, as SK said in his recent interview, he is already assessing our academy youngsters to see who can handle the step up, who needs to stay in the academy and who will benefit from a loan. He certainly talked a good game about getting the balance right between youth and experience. It could be, that someone like Wilson is the next one to step up and fill that role in defence, or it could be that SK decides the youthful energy is better served by guys like Ross or Miller further up the pitch.

Confident interceptions, reading passes and comfortably tidying up in defence don't make good youtube videos.

If Cornelius had stuck around we could have had Deano singing it.

Nah. I'm sure SK just watched that vid from a youtube random and signed him up on the spot.

SK distanced himself from Moult some time ago. The only stories about him are the ones people make up on here.

Don't forget Maguire can play central defence too.

If we don't get another Butcher type plastic pitch injury, I'll be happy. If the QoS defence is as good as last season's we should be able to find our way to the net three or four times.

An ideal workout with the bonus of getting some of the youngsters some game time. Be interesting to see how that starting 11 compares to the starting 11 in our first league game.

Feels like we've never been away. Take your pick...

Does the Elgin manager have a history of fighting the opposition or is there some other reason for the technical areas being 3 feet wide and 80 yards apart?

I think I've been mansplained

Still waiting to see your list of strikers we should sign - I'm guessing you know a few with a 100% conversion rate

I'll be happy if the cameraman maanges to keep up with play and wipes the smudge off the lens

Saves me turning of the commentator

Coffee. Bacon roll. Live stream. It's good to be back.
