The team is in the NASL - a 12 team second US tier. It's probably not as high quality as the current Scottish Championship, so not a bad place for him to be.

He plays for a second division US team.

Would be unusual for us to sign someone whose name was mentioned in the press, but hopefully we see some activity today.

If you want another made up rumour, Islam Feruz, released early from his loan at Hibs, is coming in to replace Clarkson.

Well the experienced midfielder isn't going to be Kevin Thomson.

Wright's perfect reverse pass and Walker's dummy stick in the memory. Was never a Paul Smith fan, but I was that night. The other thing that I remember is Gahagan's golden opportunity in extra time. Then it went to pens...

One of the few players to ever lift a major trophy with a Scotland team.

Surely must be close to signing that big defender McGhee's German contacts were going to bring us.

Totally gutting after our comeback.

There was a time during the Nacho Novo years that we seemed to donate sufficient points to them each season to keep them in the SPFL. I think we can win this one, though.

Were there really any players that covered themselves in glory that tie?

Damn - forgot to submit my question. Haven't listened to the podcast yet. Did you mention the square woodwork at Hampden that saved his League Cup semi penalty?

Looking at the match stats, you should be grateful it's not Falkirk we're playing. Dundee - 8 shots, 3 on target, 49% possession Falkirk - 10 shots, 7 on target, 51% possession.

When Hollis and Nielsen were behind that same defence, they were being criticized for not being good enough to organize them.

The problem was everybody jumping on the bandwagon giving him too much credit for that run. I said at the time there was a lot more to it than bringing him in on loan. There were many factors in play, not least of which was Faddy hitting a bit of form at that time. He's not a terrible keeper, but I think some people's blind hatred of our other 2 keepers at the time elevated him (in their eyes) to some sort of Randolph-esque status. (and he lies about his height).

Was certainly a lazy signing at best.

Aye, that's all well and good, but he's no Derek Murray.

No idea if he will end up in the MLS or not, but I can tell you there are plenty of players in that league who'd struggle to get into our first team. For anyone that's interested, the list of the 2015 salaries for every player is available here (pdf file). I dont know what he would be offered, but there are guys in the team on $60,000 per year. http://www.mlsplayers.org/images/September%2015%202015%20Salary%20Information%20-%20By%20Club.pdf

I've a vague recollection of a similar situation where the "wee" home team played the tie at the away team's ground. But it might have been down in England. So no help there from me.

I prefer the "play better and win more games" approach myself, but if anyone prefers the "lose 8 - 1 before getting a nil-nil draw" approach, more power to them.

If our least experienced player was supposed to be marking Irvine, then something went wrong somewhere.

Killie would make sense if they would allow it. Not too far from EK and Glasgow.

Maybe we had to wait for his deal to officially expire. Good news that we have freed a couple of wages, though. McGhee said he had irons in the fire so hopefully they will come to fruition. Of course it's a lot easier to identify targets than sign them.

Are the full backs not supposed to be covering the posts?

I don't think central midfield, however, are responsible for all the goals our defence concedes from set-pieces.
