New signing joins. Callum Butcher.

White kit under the lights tonight.

That's Mr T. Watt officially signed for St Mirren.

Connor Shields loan move to Queens Park now official.

That's Danzaki finally confirmed.

According to Scott Burns we're looking to get the Riku Danzaki deal done today.

Matt Penney signs for Charlton Athletic.

Frustrating to say the least, Kevin Nisbet had three touches in our box and each time it ended with the ball in our net. Apart from a Porteous free kick going well wide I don't remember them actually having another pop at goal. I guess that tells the story of where we are. Any points today would have been greatly received due to the games in hands over some of our rivals but we blew it as per. We're barely past the half way point in the league and next week already feels like a must win.

Just my opinion but I feel like Solholm has been the better of the centre backs by far this season, Lamie had a fantastic 2021/22 season but some brain farts have crept back into his game recently. As for the penalty Sol's arms are down by his side in a natural position and he swivels at the last second which leaves the gap between his arms and body, it's like what's he suppose to do. Defenders will need to get in the habit of having their hands behind their back in those instances.

That was a really frustrating game for a variety of reasons. I actually thought we started the game well before Hearts grew into it, they missed some glorious chances before we managed to gain control again, typically though when they went down to ten men it's like we just forget how to play, mentally somethings up with that. It was really frustrating watching them spray the ball about finding space it honestly looked like we were the man down. Also to get stung with goals before and right after half time was a kick in the tadger, I'm not planning to sit through the highlights of that game again but at Hearts first goal it looked like Halliday clearly headed the ball out only to be given another corner, obviously we should be defending better but that was just one of some horrible calls. I don't know what Snodgrass was trying to do with McGinn as he looked to dive across him and miss then got up and done it again as he tried to hit the ball resulting in an injury but no foul was given. Hopefully that's not a long term layoff. When Moult came on we looked more direct and with more urgency and emphasis getting forward, it's baffling that Craig Gordon didn't get a second yellow at the penalty incident, Clancy wasn't long in whipping it out for Moult when he was trying to retrieve the ball after scoring. It was typical that Van Veen scored a stunner but it was just offside, but it was a nice assist by McKinstry to setup Spittal for the equaliser. I know VAR looked at the penalty decisions so I suppose I can't argue but Moult unleashed a powerful volley which was on target which struck Sibbick's arm which was in an unnatural position, I'm assuming this wasn't awarded as it was at such close range while Solholm's was a tad reminscent of the one Hearts got away with against Celtic, his arms are down by his side in a completely natural position but hits him when he swivels to block a shot, defenders will need to get into the habit of playing with their hands behind their backs. Aberdeen and Hearts must be the only sides enjoying VAR atm. Anyway Celtic and Willie Collum await us on Wednesday night.

Yeah definite red, nasty challenge leaving his leg in, Watt knew it as soon as he connected with Goss.

Tired lathergic performance but the BBC seems to think we edged it. We have been the architects of our own downfall so far. Seen Shields getting the nod just there, ht sub. Torture waiting for those VAR decisions in person.

Celtic arriving late for the game, hopefully that disrupts there prep in some way. Hard to get too excited knowing who our opposition is for this game but it would be tremendous to knock them out the cup and head along to Hampden.

Ft tremendous result

VV hat trick 5-0

Cornelius on for Slattery. Ten mins to go.

Moult, Tierney and McKinstry on

O'Donnell on for McGinn

It's a go for Joe.

3-0

2-0 Slattery

Jordan White lucky not to see a second yellow.

1-0 van veen

I think Doidge has struggled since that long lay off with the achilles injury he suffered. He's scored like 3 goals in his last 30 odd appearances.
