Lost its prestige for me when they started letting the runners-up in, they could surely have replaced the word 'champions' without making it sound too crap Don't get me wrong, I'm still looking forward to it and I'm trying my best to take two weeks off and have a wee trip back to Scotland just for those two games. I really hope we can win the first tie and make the play-off, that way we can be plucky losers and go straight into the Europa League.

Shaka, I think there's only one champs league spot after next season.

The backs of their shirts are normally plain white in European games are they not? The issue is with the visibiltity of the numbers. I'm fairly sure that our shirt had the hoop replaced with just a band at the front last time.

Can't have a hoop in Europe though, unfortunately.

Park the bus, five at the back, a point will do nicely.

Just a thought.... should this not all be in a new thread for next season?

The Humph has done well lately, so to drop him would be harsh. Clancy, Hately, Carswell, Higdon out and Page, Saunders, Lasley, McHugh in. But the boss doesn't do wholesale changes, so it'll be 'as you were' and more disappointment.

.... and where was this supposed buyer during all the years that the club was officially up for sale?

Has Page done enough to earn a new contract offer? Forbes has hardly had a run-out all season so he's surely on his way out.

Good point made by Dewell there, other results may have more to do with it than our own. Hearts will pick up points and get fourth.

He was alright, can't agree that he had a good game though as he was playing left-back and he refused to use his left foot at all. If he's that versatile he should be using both feet. Centre-back / right-back for sure, he's a great squad member and I hope he stays on but poor on the left.

Decent game from Page, scarey at full-back but solid in the middle. Shame about the red card as he needs games to earn a new contract.

I can't believe it! Didn't even know about the prize draw! Being an overseas fan that is the one thing that would really make a difference to me. Thank you so very much!

Cheers for the links, lads. The game will be on at 6pm here, hoping for a decent performance for a change.

Why not a game against Southend? He might still have a lot of pals down there.

Looking forward to this, mid-day k.o. means I can watch a game for the first time in months. Any decent streams? I'm a bit lost without myp2p!

John Philliben's goal has stuck in my memory ever since that day.

Do we need to sign a foreign midfielder when we have the likes of young Carswell coming through?

Forbes? Can't see him being offered a new contract though. Shame, but hasn't had much of a chance under Broon or McCall.

Just done mine too and it cost an extra 1.90 for the transaction.

I'll tentatively say that I'm in for 50 quid. Might end up living in Scotland later this year so will be looking to get my own personal membership anyway.

Does Big Jim's goal of the decade count as an overhead kick?

They've beaten us (and thrashed us) on so many occasions with many 'star' players missing so it doesn't really matter who they've got or who is released. At this moment they are a Rangers team without Jellyfish and Naisy and they still have enough to easily beat us again. Let's concentrate on us, because it is our own players that have let us down against them in the past.

Haccies have released Cerny, decent goalie, might be worth a look if he can get fit again.

Hope he doesn't leave for peanuts like Reynolds did. Decent move though, might see him in the EPL in a year or two.
