Aside from some apparent Aston Villa correspondent, is there any suggestion an offer has been accepted?

Chalmers, Tait and Cadden did well, as did Clay and Lasley. Johnson was good, but then threw in the towel/spat the dummy. I'm going to go Chalmers. 1st half he dealt with Forrester/Tavernier pretty comfortably. Second half similar until late on. He was getting forward, retaining the ball and finding a man when he could. Prob best performance I've seen from him.

Yeah, Clay was good yesterday, a few loose passes and/or wrong options sometimes, but that's to be expected. He ran himself into the ground and was visibly knackered. Even at that, I was a bit reticent to sub him off as he was fulfilling his role and disrupting that may have led to concession of a late goal.

Rangers had huge amounts of the ball but did nothing with it. Never particularly felt threatened. Thought we were fairly comfortable and was quite happy for them to play sideways passes around the middle third. Foderingham had good saves from McDonald and Johnson. Same old frustrating story really.

Against my better judgement, I'm en-route to get a ticket. You never know, I've seen us getting the odd win/draw at Ibrox before.

We were chasing late in the game and a cross came into the box.McDonald, in his wisdom, decided to punch the ball Maradona style into the net (except far more blatantly) ruin our attack and give away a free kick in what can only be explained as schoolboy petulance.

Oh well. That's that then.

One-two's all the way, then a wee dink over the keeper by Ainsworth.

Where does it stop? Is there a value threshold, or will we receive £500 if he moves somewhere for £10k later in his career?

As far as I'm aware uefa have (probably quite correctly) never stated a definitive position on the Rangers farce and probably won't until something requires them to. Even then they'll probably leave it to the SFA.

I thought a sell on fee was only applicable for the next sale of the player, rather than ad-ininitum? ETA: Didn't he leave on a free anyway?

I think we should be looking at over a million as well. He has an attribute which can't be coached - Absolute pace, which isn't everything, but when you add in end product which he's been producing recently you've got a decent player. To go down south for less than a million given the money being thrown around there would be disappointing.

We'd likely need to beat them at some point in the competition. May as well do it now

BOOOOOM Johnson

If Dundee United win v Dunfermline they are guaranteed through.

No doubt they'll have a reporter at Ibrox for the pumping they're currently getting from Burnley. So we're currently 9pts and +4 gd. Another goal would settle it down a bit, but good to go through at the mo.

3-1 Moult again

1-0 Johnson

Quite. Especially given their entire support was in one place,easy to contain and alot of our fans had already left.

Had the feel of a glorified pre-season friendly. Sat too far off them in the 2nd half and didn't press, perhaps because of a lack of fitness. They were a bit of a shambles at the back and we should have exploited it. I'm a bit 'meh, whatever' after that.

No need to mention finances whatsoever. The rest was fine.

I guess a positive is its further publicity for us producing players. Leeds, Fulham, Brighton (x2) and if the Leitch rumours correct Burnley all in for or players. Whilst it's frustrating losing players cheaply, we appear to be on the radar abd you'd hope sooner or later we get lucky with a decent transfer fee.

Fixtures pretty perfect IMO. Annan and Stranraer away... On Saturdays.

Especially when we don't necessarily need to win that game to qualify.

It will probably just so happen that we play them last game of group.
