They will end up with a SPL select. Sad state of affairs but wouldn't blame these guys heading to Sevco as they will be the only story in town for the next few years. Unless you have aspirations of playing at international level, Sevco presents a unique opportunity to have a few easy years earning a decent wage, while writing yourself into history. This comes of course with the caveat that there is sufficient investment to get them off the ground.

McCall in paper today. Not surprised to see Jennings linked with Sevco.

Saunders and Page likely to be out for a few weeks. Suspect there will have a couple of signings lined up if we get the nod from Sky and sell the TV rights for the Panathanikos game...

Everton 5/6...

800ish to travel if we don't get pumped in the first game. Doing exceptionally well if we can break the 10k barrier at Fir Park given the prices.

Without having great knowledge of the current Panathanikos team, snippets would suggest that we could possibly have a right good go at them with last seasons starting XI. If we can get Hutchison fit and the nod from Sky to fund replacements for Clancy/Jennings then who knows what is possible. Hopefully we have scope to do ourselves justice at FP and then see what happens in Athens. While the Greek climate is a major disadvantage I'm pleased to be playing a team that hasn't kicked off their league campaign. Moreover, a couple of their players put in a shift at the Euros and may not be at their sharpest. Winning this tie would set us up for years.

Had initially ruled out a trip but started looking into Kiev and Copenhagen the last few days. Indecision removed as Greece gives me the fear. Decent draw against one of the weaker options but with good European pedigree. Home tie first a bonus in terms of the club earning money.

Best of luck to him. If Devlin struggles to get near our first team, I wouldn't be surprised to see him head back to Stenny on loan.

Losing a few goals from crosses.

Hetherington, Watt and Erwin starting tonight. Same defence as Saturday.

Was it not still split gates early 90s...

I don't know the exact figures but I'd expect the well society, fund raising, euro prize money and euro ticket sales to be sufficient to get us through to the end of the season. Going into 12/13 we cut our squad accordingly. Ideally, we manage to sell a couple of players to ease the pressure. Tough times undoubtedly but I'm hopeful this season will prove to be a turning point in Scottish football.

Problem is, we are unable to facilitate a penny of debt due to our credit rating. As I suggested months ago, the well society was a glorified interest free overdraft but thankfully, it should just about keep us out of admin if we can't sell any players.

No signings if Sky/ESPN walk away. Would expect clarification from the Broadcasters after Mondays SPL meeting.

We were always liable to ship goals today with a makeshift defence. On top of that, we have nobody in the Jennings mould to protect the defence at present. Who knows how our squad will shape up come August but I look forward to the likes of Cummins, Hetherington, Devlin and Erwin making an impression.

Clancy scores curling free kick for hibs!?

Aw fuck. Bring back Rangers so we can sign replacements for Jennings and Clancy...

There 4 OF games clause allows Sky to renegotiate the 2012/13 deal. Strong suggestion that the offer on the table is £3mil.

Likewise. Now that Rangers fate has been decided, it is time for Sky to release their fixtures for 2012/13 and indicate whether they are exercising the clause to withdraw or renegotiate.

Got to wonder why one of the best SPL midfielders over the last 2.5 years has to go on trial at a League 1 club. Has he no interest in staying in Scotland as the likes of Hibs/Aberdeen would definitely be interested? Did we offer him a pittance or indeed withdraw the contract offer? Not like him to come back from the summer break out of shape...

Is the left back from Spurs not at a similar level? Looking forward to these lads getting the opportunity to break through this season.

Article doesn't really make sense. We will see at Ayr on Saturday but I suspect we may see Ramsden at centre half. Is Fraser Kerr still training with us? Can he play as a trialist while contracted to Birmingham?

Motherwell announced he wouldn't be coming back when Jennings was still open to negotiation.

Given that the spl/sfa/sfl stitch-up has been exposed further today, will there be an appetite across the country for a protest at Hampden this Friday?

I've just booked one weeks holiday in the algarve rather than the fortnight we originally planned. Leaves plenty of scope for a season ticket and well society membership. Committed to any extra pie and bovril at each game too.
