He defended well enough for Killie and Scotland under Clarke.

I'd switch to a back five and stick Magloire in for Long. Stephen O'Donnell was poor defensively last night, we need Alexander to get more out of him.

Good to see Faddy point out that diving prick McNulty handling the ball during his dive.

If we had gotten the third our play deserved it would have been a comfortable finish but successfully holding on again will hopefully be good for our confidence. Lamie did well after not starting for a while and seeing two centre backs come. We definitely can't fault his effort. Devante Cole was superb and hopefully he is up for getting himself noticed by scoring the winner on Saturday.

We had the ball when play stopped there and he gave them the drop.

Crawford needs to come off.

Great play from Cole again. Lamie has been fine so far.

McNulty handled the ball when he dived.

A wee message to Robbo and/or the fans there. If you score goals regularly Chris you can celebrate however you want.

Devante turning into the poacher we need. Good delivery from Maguire so far this game.

Lamie and Mugabi dropping back to the six yard line at goal kicks is ominous. The East Stand roof is getting fixed so the seats are out.

He could still get a good deal with Hearts, Aberdeen, Hibs or a lower English Championship club if he sits out the rest of the season. I might be cynical but I would guess his next contract is more important to him than the Euros.

If he plays for us again he triggers an extra year which for talking sake might guarantee him £150,000. If he is a free agent at the end of the season I expect he could get himself a multi year contract which is worth at least £500,000. It's a lot of money. I hope this is the last we see of these types of contracts because it's always likely one party or the other will end up unhappy.

Money?

He started the season at CB with Nathan McGinley at LB.

If Gallagher is suffering a mystery injury then he won't be able to train until it clears up. He should see if he can get into a major tournament playing his PlayStation because he'll have plenty of time to practice and he won't be going to the Euros.

That's 22 players. We have something like 37 the now.

Nicky Devlin puts Livi 2-0 up at Pittodrie. Joe Lewis with the opener for Livi. McInnes would probably be out on his arse after this if we didn't roll over against them.

Do you think O'Donnell's agent doesn't know that? I would expect we are paying him the same basic wage but if we stay up and he goes to the Euros he gets a good whack of the UEFA money.

He had an absolute horror show in the Hibs game and in Israel and the rest of the time has looked very unconvincing defending. I expect he'll be off at the end of the season.

Signing two centre halves suggests that Alexander has the same opinion of Lamie and McGinley as most of us. Looking forward this summer is going to be our biggest rebuild yet. Looking at the squad Watt and Carroll are the only two you would put money starting the first fixture of next season with potentially Lawless and Donnelly joining them. We are going to need a lot of new players.

Do you not think Stephen O'Donnell will have priced that into his contract demands?

Players generally don't take a wage cut to go on loan.

It looks like we are relying on the dross that got us into this mess to get us back out. Well done to the club for getting Liam Kelly in but since then it's been uninspiring.

Sorry about that, it was definitely a Maxwell themed user name. Tony Straker is two years younger than Sam Foley so don't rule it out.
