wellsince75 Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 although the squad is lighter than anyone would like it's great that the younger players got brought into the mix. Will be great for their development and may help bleed more of them into the 1st team squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see young Ferrie getting gametime and I would love to see Lennon Miller making real strides forward this year. He has been around the first team squad long enough now. Time to start finding out what he has got. Hopefully the League Cup games will provide the right environment for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

middleeastdave Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 I know we scored six, but the level of the opposition looked like an equivalent to a Scottish Junior side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Didn't we give up on those for a while - partly because some teams tried to kick us off the park and partly because there was a strange rule that said if you were booked or sent off in a friendly played under SFA jurisdiction those carried over into the league. Don't know if that's still in play, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually field very young teams and the likes of Airdrie and Hamilton play older and more experienced ones, maybe to get a result. The only important factor is getting our lads gametime.

weeyin Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 According to the Scotsman, a supercomputer pre-season predictions has us finishing in the top 6. It has predicted the final table to be: 1. Celtic 2. Rangers 3. Hearts 4. Aberdeen 5. Hibs 6. Motherwell 7. St Mirren 8. Kilmarnock 9. Livingston 10. St Johnstone 11. Ross County 12.

Mad Dog Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Sixth would be an improvement on last season though. There's no quick fix for our squad and SK will need a couple of years to move players on and make improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Not sure how the super computer can predict anything when the majority of clubs havent got anywhere near their full squads sorted out yet. Surely your league position depends mostly on how successful you are in the transfer market and what your squad looks like at the end of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's the OLBG supercomputer, which probably bases its predictions on historic betting trends and results data.

pretzel Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 We drew 2-2 with Falkirk earlier in a closed door game. Liam Kelly saved a penalty with minutes remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
