I'm not really a fan to be honest.

I know, I'm an idiot! Sounds promising by that report though, a pacey wing back. I was wondering what side he was, but going by some of the photos he's wearing 11 so presumably he'll be down the left. Might mean as well that Taylor won't be back next season.

Apparently we are signing Danny WIlliams. He's a Kendal Town wing-back/midfielder who's currently on loan at Chester FC.

Should have signed him up when he was saying he was wanting a new deal before Christmas. Oh well...

Slightly off topic, but I was reading the other day that before Caledonian played at Telford Street (they moved there in the 20s) they played at another ground called "Caledonian Park". Where on Earth was that!?

I wouldn't be throwing Chris Hogg in just yet. We don't need another one getting injured after been rushed in too quick!

There's nothing worse than seeing players with ability who just simply can't be bothered. This was certainly the case with Roberts. Certainly some nice touches and raw talent, but he simply wasn't interested in the slightest. I still remember him coming on against St Johnstone at Perth at the end of 2012, where he literally put in the least amount of effort I have ever seen from the professional footballer, and I include the likes of Barrowman, Claude Gnapka and others in that. He hardly broke walking pace! Despite what Scotty says, Roberts was down as playing in an U20 game against Hearts on March 21st, so he was still here at that time. Not been heard of since though, and I wonder if his failure to appear at the aforementioned social event and Butcher fining him for it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Should never have been started against Celtic.

I have been informed that Roberts has left the building.

Reguero Raven Warren Meekings G.Shinnie Ross Jones Draper Doran Foran McKay Subs - Mathieson, Devine, A.Shinnie, Sutherland, Hogg, Pepper, Taylor *Devine in for Warren if he's injured, with Polworth coming onto the bench.

Sadly, having seen him play yesterday, he wasn't giving 100% and hasn't done since he's known he's away. While he's a good player, playing Ross or even Pepper in his role on Saturday would, I believe, mean we have a better team on the field, than playing an Andrew Shinnie putting in about 10% and looking not to get injured more than anything else.

People are going to have a hernia at this but anyway - this game on Saturday is arguably one of our biggest ever. We need to play players from the start who are going to go out there and win it and put in 100%. Going by recent performance, Andrew Shinnie is not one of them. He looked uninterested on Sunday and hasn't been giving it a full whack since he's known he's offski. Have him on the bench by all means, but I'd been playing Foran, Ross or even his brother in the "hole role" over him on Saturday.

Aye that's his name. I've been pronouncing it "Kurt-Ish-Vee-Lee". But that's probably wrong.

I wonder if Philip Roberts is one of the players Foran is alluding to. There was talk on hear a while ago that he wasn't very popular with some of the players and his attitude was the reason why. I have also been informed, that he has indeed returned to Arsenal. Supposedly as well, he was chosen to go to an ICT fans social event a while back and didn't turn up. This led to him being fined by Butcher. I wonder if Foran's thrown a red herring in there timewise and Roberts (as well as Blackman) is one of the players he's referring to.

I actually thought that on the whole and despite the scoreline, we were alright. There was no doubt Celtic were more up for it in the second half and had quite a few chances in the first half as well. I thought Draper had a decent game, along with Meekings, but in hindsight maybe throwing Warren straight back was a mistake, though we were poorer after he was taken off. Of the rest, McKay wasn't in the game, Andrew Shinnie is looking uninterested and despite his goal, Aaron Doran's touch, vision and final ball were very poor.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Been a far better player since he's been playing in his natural position this season.

What's the difference in getting an Irish team as opposed to say a Scandinavian or Icelandic one? If anything it would be a great draw and not a "non-event" at all.

Aye this Georgian guy. He's still only about 17 I believe and hasn't officially signed up, but he looks like he's got potential from what I've seen. Don't know how to spell his name mind!

They didn't vote "to kick Rangers out" - they went bust!

He played for Como in Serie C while on loan from Inter I believe. Not sure if we can look at him as a direct replacement for Shinnie, he's more of a winger I think.

Just saw this from none other than failed Clyde, Nepal and Pakistan manager and well known racist Graham Roberts - Graham Roberts‏@GrahamRoberts4 Just watched 15 mins of Inverness v st Johnstone how bad is this game . How SPL gone down hill without Rangers in the league
