Reported on twitter page @scottburns75 tonight (Scott Burns from Daily Express) that Andrew Shinnie has agreed a deal with Birmingham City and will join them in the summer

After his semi final defeat at Easter Road today Craig Brown has told his players that only 3rd place in the SPL is acceptable behind Motherwell (who he says are clearly the second best team in Scotland ) and he also stated his side are 3rd best. He also added how unlucky they were today and the other games at the start of 2013 and if they had scored first in these games they would be comfortably be siting 3rd in the league. No mention of ICT being 5 points ahead of them 2 games in hand and a better goal difference of 11 goals.

I have to question what game was Hibs Alan Maybury at on Saturday given his side had one shot on target in 90minutes he states in todays Scotsman . “I didn’t think there was much in the game and the minimum we should have had was a draw. But the way it ended sends out a statement that looks bad from us.”

Neil Doncaster has told SFL clubs that Sky, Espn cotracts are under threat as they require Rangers in SPL by season 2013/14 which he estimates revenue loss of £17.35 million.

STV have spoken to his agent Dessie Byrne who has confirmed the deal with Aberdeen has been agreed also a figure of just over £2000 per week would appear to be the reason he has decided to move

Aberdeen FC Official Statement Aberdeen FC can confirm that agreement has been reached with Jonny Hayes on a two year deal that will commence at the end of his present contract with Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC. Chief Executive Duncan Fraser stated "We met with Jonny's agent Des Byrne prior to the last game of the season and both Jonny and his agent felt that this was the right move for him. Negotiations were carried out in an extremely professional way and I am pleased to say he has chosen Aberdeen ahead of a number of potential clubs. Jonny was a key target for Craig and we are delighted with the outcome". Jonny will sign the deal after undergoing a medical on his return from holiday.

Robert B Sherman, half of the famous songwriting duo behind a string of Disney musical hits, has died. One of his most famous co-creations was the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. His song spawned the famous Sun headline after Inverness Caley's victory over Celtic SUPER CALEY GO BALISTIC CELTIC ARE ATTROCIOUS

Very iinteresting view of extract of ICT Rangers match report from Irish Times also same article used in Boston newspaper ....reporter doesn't mince his words. " Terry Butcher would have been pleased with his sides plucky performance at the interval, what followed was an injustice. Fifteen minutes into the second half, Ross Tokely made a perfectly timed sliding tackle on Steven Naismith, catching the ball cleanly. Quite unbelievably, Tokely was shown a straight red and Rangers were handed a penalty which Nikica Jelavic fired home. Inverness were still trying to gather themselves when five minutes later, Rangers striker Doran Goian, went to ground under a weak challenge by Andrew Shinnie. To the amazement of the entire stadium, including Ally McCoist, referee Euan Norris awarded a second penalty. Jelavic?s effort was parried by Caley keeper Ryan Esson, but only as far as Maurice Edu, who side-footed it into the net. Seven minutes later, Edu himself was shown a second yellow card for a sliding challenge on Nick Ross, resulting in his sending off. The remainder of the match was played out in bad spirit, with referee Euan Norris trying to quell the situation that was entirely of his own making."
