Steven Hislop has been appointed manager at Whitehill Welfare in the Lowland League. David Bingham will be his assistant.

Glad to hear doran is making a good recovery...would be delighted to see him get a run this season, and the difference he would make should be competing for fourth or fight against killie would be huge. I also hope the club give him a contract for next season because he is a big player for us and seem a willing to stay. Hopefully Raven, brill and mutumbo will be back shortly so they can all get a run in the team and prove themselves worthy. Alex fisher has a chipped bone and had been ruled out for 2-3 months as far as I know

Inverness Caledonian Thistle have told Partick Thistle they plan to talk to midfield trio Stuart Bannigan, Steven Lawless and Abdul Osman, who are all out of contract this summer, about a switch to their Scottish Premiership rivals next season From BBC sport this morning, because we all know what we actually need is more midfielders

If what I heard is true the demands were not solely financial, although the financial aspect was also far higher than we were comfortable with. IMHO he was clearly trying to use us to put himself in the shop window and valued himself far higher than most here would have thought. ICT was a paycheque nothing more, no affinity for club or supporters so glad we didn't accede to or negotiate his demands. Would far rather we spend that money on hardworking members of the existing squad or younger players who appreciate the club, its supporters, and the privileged position they have as professional athletes even if they are not pulling in wages like Ronaldo or Messi !

I'd encourage everyone to take 10mins to fill in this survey. I know a lot of folk have strong opinions about the game in Scotland so here's a chance to share them with the people in charge. http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/survey--have-your-say-on-the-future/ Not the greatest survey ever but it's something

I quite liked the January transfer window thread on here because it brought a lot of speculation and good discussion between posters. How would you like to see the summer window go? Where should we strengthen? Who should leave the club? My wish list for next season that we strengthen in the left back and attacking options. Keeping guys like Miles Storey and Owain Fon Williams should be an imperative. Noticed in in the daily record today that John Fleck is looking for another club. Would be an ideal replacement for Ryan Christie. El Bahkatoui of Dunfermline would be a fantastic addition to our club too. Hope we get our business done early doors.

My mistake

David Proctor have signed for East Kilbride.

Just looking at the list of out of contract players on Narey's Toepoker there and I see Ziggy Gordon is out of contract at Accies this summer. Now chances are bigger clubs than us might be in for him, but if the chance was there I'd take him in a second. I would even go as far as to say that he's better than David Raven. Jesus Garcia Tena and Tagliapetra are also out of contract there as well and I reckon both would be decent signings for us. Both would add a bit of height to the backline and I'm sure Garcia Tena is excellent from set-pieces, along with being left footed so he would bring something a bit different. Granted, neither are as good as Meekings and Warren, but I'd say both are better than Devine.

Good informative article. I would love to see Aaron given a new contract and the opportunity to establish himself again as a first team regular.

To be fair if all we have at the end of the season is draper and Tansey signed up then these 3 wouldn't be the worst signings! As good as each of them are though, they aren't coming from a team that's be superb! We've had a poor season, particks had an average season...that to me is the difference in players we recruit but still, 3 decent players! I'd agree in some respects that we need to sign out of contract players soon but it's getting late in the season and the later we leave signing up new players the less likely it'll be that we get the ones we're looking at! Bahktoui would be a fantastic signing...however it'll take some about of luck to get him!
