I'm usually not a fan of the break but it comes at the perfect time for us.

Whyte's a great prospect, but I trust the coaching staff if they think he'll progress more quickly if he goes out on loan.

The official website said Whyte extended his contract in their end of season squad update. Doesn't say for how long.

That's pretty much it.

Surprised he said that given how much he drooled over our sexy football last season.

When we were in the First Division, there were 14 teams and you played each one 3 times. There used to be an argument the odd number of games gave some teams home advantage, athough they did try to balance it every season. Now we have a precedent in the Premiership that teams play an uneven number of games against certain teams there's less reason to argue against a similar 14 team format. Of course it will never happen any more than an 18 team league, because the TV companies demand 4 OF derbies per season.

Guess who the ref was when we beat them 3 - 2 last time? Clue, it rhymes with Nevin Fancy. I get all the concerns about refs, Rangers VAR etc., but one positive of the style we play now is that we give refs less chance to penalise us. Moorman and Knight-Lebel didn't have to make a single tackle last night, for example. Of course, they can still stuff us by chalking off goals and VAR handballs - just not as often.

I'll be disappointed if we didn't receive one derisory OF bid for one of our players today.

The Diana-isation of society. Public displays of feelings and emotion all went downhill after Princess Di's car crash. Millenials and Gen-Z take some of the blame too. Not that I'm an miserable old Gen-Xer or anything. I'll bottle it up and let it kill me like a proper man.

The old 10 team SPL was bad for football. Too many teams in the bottom half scrapping for survival at the expense of entertainment.

I also had no issues with JT this evening. He plays much better from wide right, and was involved in a lot of our play. Unlucky not to sneak that one in at the far post in the first half.

Interesting to see the BBC had our formation listed as 4-2-2-2, which is exactly how JBA described his formation last season. Some strong performers across the team again, but it was a toss up between Longelo and Lowry for me tonight, with Lowry edging it.

The way to do it is not to give them away. According to the BBC stats Moorman and Knight-Lebel had a total of zero tackles between them. That's the kind of dominance that keeps set plays at bay. Of course McInnes at Ibrox will be a different game, but we fared OK against his Hearts tactics last season.

Palmer Houlden his own. Lowry's goal a masterpiece. Dylan Levitt-ates us to 3rd in the league. Take your pick...

Well that was about as stress free and drama free as you could hope for in the middle of a hectic fixture schedule.

I always thought Vogt would take the longest to get up to speed given the league he came from. No idea if he'll be any good, but better judged in a couple of months.

Let's keep the next 3 goals for the weekend.

Boooo. Waste of money.

He almost pulled off the reverse pass of the decade in that first half. It was a brilliantly ridiculous idea. If our forwards get on the same wavelength it will cause defences some serious problems.

Or straight after - that's always a sickener after the "keep it tight for the first 15" talk.

We're making Manny work for his wages tonight, taking all the corners from his opposite wing.

A second goal would do the trick. Utd obviously sitting deep and looking for an equaliser on the break.

Tidy finish.

Have I missed anything?

Two weeks from now I'd have higher expectations. Tonight I'm concerned about fatigue (mental or physical creeping in). Although it's great to have enough depth for some proper load balancing.
