There's no Paul Ritchie either.

As things finally stand: Signed up till the end of season 2013-14: Ryan Esson Richie Foran Ross Draper Conor Pepper Ben Greenhalgh Adam Evans Danny Williams (Butcher, Malpas and [i believe] Marsella are also in this category) Signed up till the end of season 2014-15: Josh Meekings Nick Ross Gary Warren Graeme Shinnie Billy McKay Daniel Devine David Raven Liam Polworth Ryan Christie Signed up till the end of season 2015-16: Aaron Doran _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Leaving the building: Andrew Shinnie (joining Birmingham City) Antonio Reguero (joining Kilmarnock) Chris Hogg (turned down new deal) Shane Sutherland (released) Gavin Morrison (released) Scott Mathieson (released) Kyle White (released) Owain Tudur Jones (joining Hibernian) Charlie Taylor (returning to Leeds United as his loan deal has expired) Martin Laing (released) Simon King (retired) Already gone: Philip Roberts (returned to Arsenal) Jordan Gibbons (returned to Queens Park Rangers) Andre Blackman (returned to Celtic and was subsequently released by them) George Brislen-Hall (released) Andre Martins (released and is now playing for Goias in the Brazilian Serie A)

I think with Williams, Greenhalgh, Doran, Ross, Foran, Evans and Draper all signed up for next season, we won't be seeing or needing any more wingers for next season.

Strange he's going on about Europe with Hibs when he said the other week that Europe with ICT wasn't a big deal for him because he'd done it already with Bangor. Risky business given him a two-year-deal as well, he's terribly injury prone!

I was reading somewhere that Butcher's keen on bringing Taylor back again next season.

The Players' Player of the Year last season was Graeme Shinnie.

Looks to me like it's black or dark grey then!

Will Marsella be attending the Confederations Cup this summer? I believe there'll be some Tahitians worth watching!

A "Caley" home and "Thistle" away shirt is a bad idea IMO. All it'll do is open up old wounds, particularly as the "Caley" shirt would be used more (strange how that's always the one identified as being the home kit, why not by the same token, Thistle at home and Caley away?). We should be creating an identity for our club as "one" (encapsulating "togetherness" if you will), and going to a relatively equal red and blue home kit (preferably as a striped jersey). Having two different identities for the home and away shirts would do the exact opposite.

If that advert has the shirt in the background, then that would suggests that it isn't the "Thistle" kit posted, but looks to me to be red?

Shame he's away, but he can be replaced.

He almost certainly won't come, but I'd have that Greek left-back at County here in a second!

Is there any chance of getting a big/foreign team a la Antwerp and Vallodolid at the Caley Park again this year?

Needs to work on his final ball. Other than that I'm pleased.

Was there not a plan to go to Northern Ireland a couple of years back that was then shelved before we'd announced the fixtures, but the opposition clubs had? (Seem to remember Cliftonville being one of the ones involved?).

What about John Baird? Supposedly being courted by Partick, but he looked a decent player in the 1-1 draw (which he scored in) a couple of months ago. Could be one that comes good.

As far as I'm aware Feruz has never played at the TCS, while Hansson also never did though may have been on the bench and thus wouldn't count!

It'll probably be the regular mob; Clach, Forres, Elgin, Brora etc. Wouldn't mind a trip to Nairn this year mind and I wonder if Inverness City will be one as well (for the first time ever I'd have thought).

These have all been done already!

Miku - Celtic - Venezuela

Can anyone shed any light on the Martin Laing situation? Has he left the building?

Wonder if this'll be it?

How dangerous exactly are smoke bombs? I was always under the impression that they aren't actually that dangerous, unlike flares which are.

I hope it's not white again, but I've heard on the grapevine somewhere that it is.

Next month I believe. It's being shipped as we speak apparently!
