While not the worst I've seen, Turnbull's miss against Dundee contributed to what must be some kind of record of the shortest time between two teams missing penalties during a match.

Usually means they have a minor niggle from training and the coaching staff don't want to risk them in a training match.

To be fair, Millar had other talents. OK, one other talent, and that was kicking a ball very very hard.

I won't be worried about lack of depth unless we are having this conversation in September.

Good shout.

Yellow card for a sub-grizzly effort, even if I am old enough to get it.

I also enjoyed his advice about not just passing the ball the way your nose is pointing.

I'm looking forward to the outrage when we sign another midfielder who has just ended a miserable loan spell at one of our league rivals.

Well, we've tried everything else to stop him posting, so I suppose lying was worth a shot.

He's got my Vogt.

I wouldn't include Ruddy because he was only ever on loan.

Sounds about right to me. Without doing all the sums, I was thinking a ballpark of around 4 million give-or-take, plus add-ons. Unless, as you say, we get lucky with a bidding war. Of course, we all know it's going to be "undisclosed" and we'll still be guessing after the deal is done.

I'd sell Just and JT and pick Bowie 🙂

Maybe, but he's had one good season with us the year after his was deemed not good enough for his last club and punted out on loan to the Austrian second division. So if you're a buying club looking at his history, that will play into it. Do you get the 2025/26 verision or the 2024/25 version? There's no doubt he has been on fire, and was definitely my player of the season. The next thing he has to do is repeat it, and that's the punt his new club will be taking.

Not.Even.Close

My jokes are in preseason too, so you have to work for it.

If I didn't already know I was too old to be wearing the new shirt, the music on the release video would have reminded me. I'm off to have a lie down and listen to some Jesus and Mary Chain.

Certainly not in the Adidas 3 stripes category. Tom Sparrow won't be happy either. Last season he said he hated collars like that.

If you're looking for traditional, the hoop comes with white shorts.

Did anybody else have that on their coupon, or just JT?

They are in some leagues. The markets where we picked up Priestman, Watt and Just, not so much. I'm sure if we can get more, we will do that. The fact they still have long-ish contracts increases their value too.

It's like Bargain Hunt. Need two or more interested buyers to start a bidding war. Ultimately, as David says, it's about what the market will pay. Many factors are in play there from the cost of comparable players to resale value. The World Cup helps raise profiles and interest which is why, if we are selling, we should take advantage of the uptick in publicity. Plus it's another success story we can point to when trying to sign new players. While 3 or 4 million might feel low, it's a pretty good return on investment financially and for what has done for us on the pitch. I'm sure the Board will have run the numbers and figured out what is reasonable. I remember Caldwell quoting all the stats for Miller comparing him to similar players in his age group, and I'm sure they will be doing the same for all or potential transfers out.

Wood has a much better track record than Just and played at a consistently higher level. When we signed him, Just had been on a season long loan to a 2nd division Austrian team. Which goes to show what great scouting combined with great coaching can do.

I didn't mean that literally every youngster that moves goes to their boyhood club, but it does happen.

TBF it takes a lot more courage to leave home as a teenager and move down to England or to a foreign country than it does to stay with your parents and drive into Glasgow.
