Think they are more likely to move him on. If not Aberdeen, his performances for us will have alerted others. That said. given that Celtic's central defence is a shambles and Carter Vickers is out injured he might get his chance. They also loaned Inamura back to Japan despite having given him a 4 year deal in the summer. Askou will sort it out. With SOD injured and Balmer likely on his way I hope we get two central defenders in fairly quickly. The Watt to Rangers rumour is also gathering pace although his injury is delaying matters so I am told. At least with Watt we have a say in matters.

That would be funny if they didn't get him.

Is out of contract in summer so nest get him signed up

.

You might have to, as word on the street is he's not going to Aberdeen.

Not at Aberdeen he won't, I'd walk into that Aberdeen team

100% JBA has contingency plans for January. Whether or not they can be implemented depends on the market, but I imagine he has plans in place for the defence even if we don't sign any additions.

You'd like to think we've had alternatives identified for the expected departure of Welsh

Gutted, even worse is he will probably sit in bench

Celtic have recalled Welsh, he won't be coming to us.

Not good news, hopefully we have a contingency plan. edit: normally I wouldn’t bother about a loan player leaving but I do like Welsh and think both him and Motherwell were a good fit. Feel sorry for him going back to being a bit part player.

A central defender added to our shopping list? Presumably we've been preparing for this scenario.

If I get a reply from the JC I will let you know.

Lord Hamilton colours

Looks like we had Stephen Welsh to this list. Celtic have recalled him apparently

I did a quick google search on racing colours once before and the Lord Hamilton colours I found from around that time were either Red & White or Blue. Hardly definitive, so will be interesting to hear the definitive answer from the Jockey Club.

Ive always liked Luca Ross. I think he is the kind if player that would do well 8n this squad. Problem is, how does he get game time when our midfield/ attacking options are so strong? Still only 19 though, which seems incredible given how long he has been on the periphary.....

I’d rather have had rangers on 42 and Aberdeen on 26 than rangers being on 44.

This game shouldnt be any significant problem. However, I am concerned how many players may be missing. Kettlewell will concede possession to us. We just need to keep an eye on Jordan White and Hale. As long as we dont turn up with a team of reserves and JT brings his shooting boots we should be fine.....

Unlike most years, this year we have a team that absolutley can beat anyone in Scotland on our day. We have the tools available to actually win the cup this year. We cant take any team or any round for granted. Should be hitting this as our strongest possible side!

I actually have an enquiry pending at the Jockey Club regarding Lord Hamilton of Dalzell's racing colours. In my defence, I am retired and don't get out much, apart from my visits to Fir Park and GP 😱. Sometimes on holiday I have encounter Bradford City fans who are convince we nicked their colours, so i would like something categorical about our beautiful c&a.

Start our strongest team and hopefully is cruising give mcallister and Ross game time. We cant treat opposition lightly but hoping we absolutely pump them for obvious reasons

Good result for us as keeps us 12pts ahead of utd and dons, top 6 place getting closer

Did we not get through our League Cup group unbeaten and make it all the way to the semi-final? That's not bad for a string of worst performances. Inevitably every team gets beat in a cup competition (except the winner), but I don't see a Macclesfield on the cards here.

Nope dont agree. Quite happy they are losing and keeping us 12 points and many goals ahead of 7th. Top six is our first target.
