For me, the main factor for the disinterest in Scottish football is the relation between the quality of football and ticket prices. I'm concerned that clubs are continuing to piss against the wind by 'investing' in loan players and journeymen. For instance, Aberdeen chasing Lee Hendrie when they have some of the best kids in the country. When funds are so tight why no bite the bullet and be upfront with the fans that it's in the clubs' interest to go with the youth. In return, ticket prices will be adjusted to reflected the reduction in the annual wage bill. If the likes of us and Killie were to do it, I'm confident that Accies, St Mirren, St Johnstone, ICT and Dundee United would follow suit. I'd much prefer to pay a tenner a week to see emerging talent from around the country. And once we start producing these players again, the profile of Scottish football will gradually grow.

What was his natural position Maxi? Given the experience Reynolds has gained, I'd love to have seen the pair of them play together over the course of a season. Unlikely to happen now though...

He looked like a textbook centre half at the beginning of last season. Just got to hope he is fully recovered from his injury woes. If he has he will get a chance soon enough.

Melvin is bang on regarding Murphy. He gets my vote just ahead of Jennings and Forbes.

I share the concerns regarding defence at the moment. Any team with half decent delivery is going to cause us havoc. I'm sure things will progress as the players get into their stride but it is a major weakness at present.

Great news if we can get the squad out on a charter flight.

Overnight in Aberdeen followed by 3 flights. No ideal for the lads.

I'd expect the Norwegians to be far better than this.

Yaas!

Ridiculous defending.

From lining up against Forfar to Boco Juniors. No bad. Good luck to him.

They love a tune eh.

Just off Murphy, Sutton wide left.

Haha. Pretty surreal being so tense about a game while watching it in my back room.

Get into these h*n bastards

Bouncing about to Sweet Caroline here. 'Mon the 'Well.

Doubt we will get any money from them anytime soon given the extent of their woes. Comforting to know we are due a decent some of money though.

See to be honest, I just want to see Faddy in full flow. He seems to be playing a very disciplined role at Birmingham. Would be a hard one to take though. Can't see it happening mind you unless his young family aren't settled.

Can't remember many of them from last season? Much of his impact was down to his willingness to run his balls off.

Pretty much spot on Juan.

Playoff round for Europe, decent cup run, SPL survival and a victory over Rangers and Celtic. That will do me.

Not quite sure what to make of that. I'm not so sure he will be away after Thursday. If we do progress, do we really want to sell him if we don't have a replacement lined up for the next round.

£2 million + adds ons according to STV.

Inevitable that Rangers will get linked with him in coming weeks. As many have pointed out before though, his performances against Rangers in recent times may well have put Walter off.
