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!

In a tight last day in the English Championship, Graeme Shinnie’s Derby are currently on course for relegation.

They either need to turn round a half time deficit and beat Sheffield Wednesday, or get a draw in their own game and hope Cardiff at least get back on level terms against Rotherham.

 

It all changed at 1416. Cardiff equalised against Rotherham with 2 minutes to play to relegate Rotherham, whilst Derby got back to 3-3 against Sheffield Wednesday and managed to hold on to stay up and relegate Wednesday.

I’m just relieved we were not in a similar position last Friday evening, as I vividly recall our relegations on the last days of the seasons in the past. 

Danny Williams was sent off today as promotion chasing Halifax lost at home. 

Nairn County have boosted their squad for the new Highland League season by signing teenage defender Grant Hogg from Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Another on to keep an eye on in the Highland League.

Jonny Tuffey (Crusaders) got sent off in the Irish Cup semifinal after being deemed to have come off his line to ‘save’ 3 penalties in a shootout. The retakes were scored and his team lost. You can see it on the BBC Sport site.

Conor Pepper will be playing in Europe next season for Linfield after they won the Irish Cup for the 44th time - they look pretty certain to win the Irish Premiership too.

The Bellshill Cafu has put St Johnstone a goal to the good. Just a Shaun Rooney world and we're just living in it.

Good news for anyone who had him to score today at 10/1. 😀

After the torrid start he had at St Johnstone, he must be their hero now. Two cup finals and two winning goals, in both cases with the only goal of the game. Has the same player scored the only goal in both the Scottish Cup and League Cup finals in the same season ever before?

In the absence of paying a transfer fee for Rooney, wouldn’t it be nice if St Johnstone could give us a wee cut of the cup prize money and potential £3M Europa League group stage revenue resulting from these vital goals.

There will be no chance of that Yngwie if we had seen his potential and secured him on a longer contract he might still be here.  They have been smarter at the business than us so we need to learn from that.

Liam Polworth is one of 16 players leaving Motherwell.

Unsurprisingly George Oakley is part of Killie’s clear out.

He didn’t manage a goal for either them or the Bulgarian side he was with previously.

Despite Liam Fox being announced in the press as joining the Hibs coaching set up after leaving Livi last month, he has been unveiled as assistant to Tam Courts at Dundee Utd.

Dean Brill has joined Tottenham Hotspur as a goalkeeper coach. Good luck to him.

Josh Meekings signs for Brora on a 3 year deal.

Statement of intent.

Astonishing.. Is there anyone would wouldn’t have wanted him back at ICT?

We don't have that sort of financial clout, or a fictional job description to charge his wages against.

Ian vigars been offered a contract at cove.

John Hughes new Celtic colts manager 

They sound like good moves for all concerned, especially the Hughes one. He’s good at coaching players to become better players, which is exactly what you want at a Colts team.

Carl Tremarco new position at Ross County

I’m pleased for Tremarco that he’s got a role after retiring from playing, and I’m sure he will do well.

Just a shame we didn’t have a role for him in our set up.

Three (3!) year deals for Vigurs and Draper at Cove and Polly looks likely to sign for Killie later today / this week.

Amazing financial muscle on show again from Cove..what is their average attendance anyway?

I'm sure Vigurs can show Draper all the best places in Aberdeen to start on the door staff.🥊

Three year deals to players aged 32 and 33: seems an amazing decision by Cove, particularly as they both have had injury absences quite regularly. Presumably they had to offer that length of contract to get them.

Sounds like Polly will sign a two year deal at Kilmarnock. Hughes had been after him for County but that interest obviously died when he left himself.
