Good to see Walsh back in the squad. I’d imagine he may just be a sub today though. After the Dundee performance, will McCart return or McHattie be preferred? Presumably Mckay will be in central defence. Will Toddy get another start? If you have travelled, enjoy the afternoon!

They got their second tonight. 1-0 against Clach at the rugby ground.

McHattie is potentially a ready made replacement for McCart. He is left sided so could struggle on the right side of central defence. Should we lose McCart in the window, hopefully we recall Harper from Elgin to give cover for Tremarco.

Daniel Hoban also now on loan to Fort William but Martin MacKinnon has returned to us due to injury.

Jack Brown has returned from Fort William but is now on loan to Rothes with Lewis Hyde now on loan to Fort William.

A United season ticket holder has told me that United fans are all over the Sow story and believe he is training with us. Another one where time will tell!

It’s been coming and the consensus appears to be that we were better to get some money now than none in the summer. As IBM has said, hopefully we got a decent payment At least we’re have a replacement in, time will tell how good Toshney will be for us.

Confirmed on the club website.

Gringo, It is an away game.

Fair enough. But I’m really concerned that the early timing indicated it was not playable then, so the patch in front of the main stand must be a real concern.

Biblical rain last night? It was 0 degrees when I got home last night and still cold when I left at 0600 this morning with frosty roads rather than wet ones. I’m in Croy, but can’t imagine the town was much different.

The strip in front of the main stand at the home end has been a problem in the last two home games, particularly the Arbroath one when the ball stuck when it landed there. Someone told me they had started to cut the grass and it damaged the pitch, but don’t know if that is the case or not. I was surprised to hear of the call off at lunchtime due to the pitch being waterlogged and it does not bode well. Hopefully it is only the one part that is an issue and it can be sorted but if it is the whole pitch we have visions of two years’ ago and all the call offs. At the time of writing, only two games off across all leagues, including the Highland and Lowland leagues: ours and Fort William’s! As Clapham Park is unplayable whenever it rains, the Fort William call off is no surprise, but is our pitch really worse than all the other home grounds tomorrow. If so, that is not good at all.

Heard an interview with Robbo on MFR. The report confirmed the approaches for Rooney and Donaldson and Robbo said that three other unnamed players are also the subject of interest. He was quite pragmatic, saying something along the lines of it is his job to identify players to bring to the club and it was a compliment to him and the club that there was so much interest. No word of possible replacements as we will be short of defenders if both Rooney and Donaldson do go this month. Mckay can cover one of them but not both and I don’t fancy McHattie or McCart as the right sided centre half as neither has a left foot! Unfortunate but probably inevitable in our financial position and if we can get decent money in we can hopefully afford to bring in decent replacements, but presumably we can only look at out of contract players or those their current clubs are releasing.

That’s so offensive. Who are you to judge fans like me who are passionate about our team? You like to be challenging, which is fine, but don’t overstep the mark with what is tantamount to personal insults. Get a life!

I’m allegedly a happy clapper and am certainly not a fan of either of the Glasgow ugly sisters! Like most on here, my only team is Caley Thistle, although having been brought up there, I admit to looking nervously for Fort William’s result each week.

Thanks for the feedback IHE. I thought McHattie strolled through the cup games at centre half, albeit against lower level opposition, so interesting to read your comments about him today. I’m a fan of McCart, but he may find it hard to get his place back based on today’s feedback. Interesting to hear how Toddy did too. Who was the third injury? BBC reported Storey and Trafford as subbed due to injuries.

After hearing why Cove sacked Aird (offensive gestures in the Rangers end at the Old Firm match) the day before his contract expired we don’t need him here.

Was out this afternoon but keeping an eye on the live text on the BBC app. Sounds like an excellent first half with most of our attempts being on target. It was then important to close the match out and, judging by Sportsound, we were well worth the win. Great reaction after last week. I hope the injuries to Storey and Trafford are not serious. Keen to hear from those there about how we did and what the defensive formation was. Was McHattie on the left of the central defensive pairing? We seem to have somehow cemented a play off place with a 10 point buffer on the teams outside the play offs.

Assuming Walsh and Welsh are still injured and Curry is back at Middlesbrough, the options for changing the team are: Mckay McHattie Harper Vincent MacGregor Machado Todorov Is Daniel Mackay back from his loan to Elgin for Saturday? I cannot see a lot of changes, possibly Vincent and Todorov for Trafford or Carson and White? As someone has said above, it would be interesting to see Storey playing off the main striker, but that leaves us light for wide players unless we push Rooney forward. Will be interesting to see the starting 11. I don’t care who they are as long as they do better than Saturday and we bring the points up the road

And that corner of the pitch is in a mess. Not as bad on Saturday as against Dunfermline. Someone told me they had started cutting the grass and that caused the problem, but don’t know if that is the reason or not.

Thank you. it is always interesting to see where former players are now, how they are doing, and how their scoring firm compare to when they were here. Some surprises amongst the list.

Caley Thistle getting promotion????

If true, that 20% will be very helpful putting the club on an even footing. It sounds too good to be true though.
