A real test of the genuine ambition of the board to gain promotion to the Premiership. If they let Deas go at this crucial stage in the season I can only conclude that they have none.

We can’t keep relying or expecting the return of ex players to do us a turn. It’s sometimes unreal the clamour for some of our former ‘wonders’ to come back and to reproduce their heroics! Let’s carry on the way we do and bring on the untried potential of keen guys looking to rebuild there careers with us or young up and coming new talent. With a bit of luck that will work better than the return of Daniel Mackay or the likes. Fair to say it’s a pity he just didn’t stay with us though a bit longer!

If there is any substance in this story it needs to be dismissed by the board straight away and demonstrate to the supporters that there is genuine belief in this years promotion push. A derisory offer from a club who could be a potential play off opponent this May. Robbie Deas is contracted until 2023 and given his steady progress could play at a much higher level than St J .

Disappointed to read that Daniel McKay has signed for Kilmarnock on loan until the end of the season. I know that we did make enquiries about doing the same thing but assume that Kilmarnock were able to pay his full wages and possibly a loan fee on top whereas we were not. I was hoping to land him and this is without doubt a boost for our main promotion rivals and a blow for us. Vital now that we can find our own talented and creative loanee to bolster our promotion prospects.
