Bavs is back with us for the season! Good bit of business.

I hope they do both come back for another year. Promotion certainly helps with the recruitment as they can stay in a good environment that they know and are settled in but at a higher level. Win win for everyone. I have to say though that while I really like Bavidge, if we could only get one it would be Stewart. I think he has the potential to be a really top player. Don't get me wrong Bavidge will have a good career, but when it's all over in 15 years or so I don't think he'll reach the same heights as Stewart.

That’s excellent news. We are slowly building the squad and hopefully we can be competitive in the Championship, although my target is 8th or better! For me, the priority is now the defence as we need back up for Macleod, Devine, Savage and Boutin. On paper, we have options in midfield and out wide, whilst I hope we bring another striker in. I’d happily see us sign Joe Walters based on what I saw of him on Tuesday and he seemed versatile, playing at both centre half and right back. I enjoy the pre season friendlies but roll on competitive games!

The Supporters Trust runs Bar 94 on behalf of the club, and is open to all supporters. For some games, access may be restricted to home fans only (as per the Hamilton game) but otherwise everyone is very welcome. We will continue to confirm times in the lead up to each game, whilst there is a page on our website about it too: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/bar94-and-matchday-bus-service

I get what you’re saying but it’s a season loan. We won’t see the peak years of either of these players in reality so it doesn’t matter who we get. If we can get both amazing, but if we can only get one I don’t care who it is as they are both incredibly valuable to us.

I think striker is the weakest area of our squad so for me its bavidge over stewart for next season. Macleod, Mackinnon, Allan, all great talents. At striker we have a loanee from swansae.

Chalky chalky hes our man, If he cant find out noone can....

“The big winners here seem to be the Tartan Army who have really been the story more so than the team”! It looks, for all intended purposes the tartan army has supplanted the Scottish football team as the main feature of any tournament the team manages to qualify for. ie A friendly, colourful, noisy engaging mass of people that party on the whole with the residents of the city or area they base themselves. They have become an extension of presenting and representing our country much better than the Scotland team or any political office. I did not watch any our the Scottish matches, primarily due to the time they were televised. That said my views on our nation football team, manager and those running our game have been mostly critical as we continue to fail that great support. The SFA appears incapable of having the whereabouts to address the malaise and slow decline that afflicts our game. Maybe I (we) have to accept we are unable to copy equivalent second tier European countries in raising the standard and quality of our national team performance? We may scrape through by some mathematical formula having dispatched the mighty Haiti, but it would be a hollow success in my mind. We would most certainly loose (possibly badly) against strong opponents. It would also just plaster over the shortcomings in our game IMO and allow the SFA blazers off the hook, ie they would claim it as some sort of improvement by the first qualifying national team (even though it is easier), and simply continue the status quo. I do feel for all the small children, mums and youngsters that dressed up sporting the Scottish strip and other garb. Certainly they and the Nation got full behind the team. The tartan army turned out in strength and for the most enjoyed the occasion and presented our nation and people in its best light. I just wish our team could have given them more to recognise the super level of support they had. Maybe next time. bc

Phew! Dodged a bullet there. Jordan White signs for Cove Rangers on a 2 year deal.
