Yes, I know that Jones and Edmondson were sent on loan, but I would be suprised to see them back, given we have signed Wright and Simpson as virtual replacements. But I agree it's a diffcult problem.

Yes, our best hope is to get our retaliation in first then there would be no reason for the authorities to take further action.

I think it would be a real shame for Patterson to be sent packing; a homegrown youngster with huge potential. But we can't discriminate here - the die was cast with Jones and Edmundson.

Yes, that must be why we went for Oformor (sp?).

Great interview on Sky with McGregor. You know something? I wouldn't swap him for any other keeper in Britain. Seriously.

Good to see Itten doing well on a rare start but could do with Kent closer in support.

Not sure why we need Ofoborh - unless we are thinking of not keeping Zungu.

Then the injury to Katic must be worse than we are being told. Agree about Edmundson whose days have been numbered since the Covid incident.

Same barber as Alfie?

My thoughts too. Balogun, Helander, Bassey, Katic and Edmundson. My guess is that as he can play left back as well, the management sees no future for Bassey.

I thought he was awful against us both times. Sorry just don't see him as the answer to Scotland's striking problems.

In that nightmare they hire Lampard, Gerrard's mate, to counterbalance our success. Gilmour is a favourite of Frank's. Strangely, we might get him on loan now as he wants games to get into the Scotland squad. Realisically, Eddie Howe is more likely and that wouldn't give me nightmares as players would not be attracted to Howe in the same way.

Sorry. Move it if you like but I thought it might possibly have a (negative) impact on us if goes to you-know-where.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55794158 Nightmare scenario for us - Lampard goes to Keltic and takes Billy Gilmour with him. Please God, no.

Tav will be out of contract next season and I'm sure there will be interest from England.

I bet you remember when he was pressed into service in the Cup Winners Cup final!

Yes, our 'slump' lasted 45 minutes!

Exactly. For that selfsame reason we could do with such as Siriki Dembele if reported interest is true.

Funny, I would have said Gerd Muller, who gave my favourite all-time quote when challenged that he only ever scored goals and didn't 'track back' in the modern parlance: "Listen, nobody ever ONLY scores goals."

Exactly. Play like that most weeks and the results will take of themselves. Morelos now back to form.

Catch 22?

And they are proving my point for me! We are playing well - and the result is taking care of itself. Especially in the SPL. Great to Alfie scoring with his left. If he can keep adding goals to his new-found link-up play we will want much more than £18m for him.

Get what you are saying but just don't think we will slip up often enough for it to be a concern. They will drop more points for sure.

I don't want a scrappy lucky win because then it becomes hard to get out of that groove, is what I'm saying. Even 2 dropped points will not be a disaster - we have wriggle room. And I fancy Hibs to take something from a sun-drenched Keltic. More important that we start to play with the fluency we showed at the start of the season.

May sound perverse to say this but I think the performance is more important than the result today. We haven't been playing well and you can't just turn form on and off like a tap. Sooner or later we will come unstuck. If we start to play like we can then we will be unstoppable.
