Rather than starting a new thread each time there's a snippet of news regarding a former player, this thread can be used for such info.

In a similar vein to the 'Ex ICT players score' thread.

 

I see that Dougie Imrie has signed for Hamilton Accies. Has he still 'got it' for the top-flight? He's just endured a depressing season with a very poor Morton side. What I'm really surprised about is that he's only 30 - I always thought he'd come into senior football at a relatively late age, being snapped up from the juniors - he seems to have been around for ever!

 

Reluctant to wish him too much luck as he's obviously going to be in direct opposition to us next season!

Incredibly there are five Highland League clubs looking for Managers just now!

We could recommend Robertson and Dodds and they are in the area 😜

Are any of Strathspey, Brora, Lossiemouth, Inverurie and Banks O’Dee local enough?

I missed this when it happened but Daniel Hoban has been at Elgin since last season after his spell at Forfar. 

Ross Tokely’s short term deal at Nairn has been extended to the end of next season (he’s already43!)

Logan Chalmers is off to Tranmere on loan, his 3rd loan deal from Dundee Utd in 12 months, after ourselves and Ayr.

Jake Mulraney has joined St Patrick's Athletic in Ireland after a transfer from Orlando FC in MLS.

Interesting move for Matheus Machado. After joining Rothes from Elgin in the summer, he has now joined play off chasing Montrose in League 1. A bit of a step up for him.

Lewis Jamieson is back at St Mirren after his loan spell at Airdrie.

Kevin McHattie sent off for dissent in stoppage time as Nairn held Brechin to a 0-0 draw as Brechin’s charge to the title suddenly appears to be losing its way a bit.

I don’t know what happened but it seems Ross Tokely played a big part in  the second yellow, being called a grass by Brechin fans.

Ryan Barrett signed for Blyth Spartans last month.

Josh Meekings is now Assistant Manager at Brora. He is continuing as a player too. 

Liam Fox has been sacked as Manager of Dundee United.

Matheus Machado featured on a View from the Terrace this week. It focussed on his origins in Brazil and his current time at Montrose, but ICT did get a brief mention.

Utd have had 2 former ICT players as managers. Brewster won 3 from 30, Fox was less bad with 7 from 24.

Oh, and in 2006 Billy Dodds was briefly caretaker manager and had 100% win rate! 😀

 

Presumably since January Jamie McCart has been on loan to Orient from Rotherham. 

Good to see Ryan Christie named as Man of the May h for Bournemouth by the BBC player eater today.

George Oakley sent off for Morton.

Graeme Shinnie sent off tonight for the second time in three games, but as he was suspended last week he has been sent off in each of the last two games he has played in!

Aberdeen appealed but the appeal was thrown out with the result that Shinnie's 3 game ban has been increased to 4.  

Harsh!

He’s only been sent off twice in his career: in the last two games he’s played!

 

A big day for Graeme Stewart and his team Buckie Thistle on Saturday. 
Buckie Thistle v Brechin City the final game of the season and Buckie are one point ahead and top of the league. A draw would be enough but I hope they win to get to the playoffs. 
Good luck Graeme!

Buckie also have Andrew MacAskill whilst Brechin have Kevin McHattie and Anthony McDonald.

Brechin are desperate for promotion. Buckie don’t seem to want to go up but want the glory of winning the league.

Inteiguing!

Iain Vigurs has helped Cove Rangers earn a place in League One.

Kevin McHattie had his penalty saved in the shoot out against The Spartans so Brechin stay in the Highland League. He was the last taker, but their fourth was saved too so at least he doesn’t get all the blame!

I watched Hoban and Draper for Elgin at Bonnyrigg yesterday. I’ve seen Elgin 3 times this season and overall I think any speculation about Hester making the step up to our level is just daft.
