Must be Vaughan on a 2 year deal if we're all going to like it.

Injured

Joel Thomas

No, but he'll be off the wage bill some time before Barr arrives.

Grant Murray being off the wage bill might have something to do with it.

Geordie_Munrover appears to be formidably well-informed. Need to keep an eye out for his next posting on our comings and goings.

Gordon Adamson is the new fans' director.

From the official site: Hibernian FC having met our valuation of the player in full, the club will receive an undisclosed, but very fair, initial transfer fee and will benefit further when Sean begins to progress his first team career with the Easter Road outfit. We would also be due a percentage of any future transfer fee received by Hibs, if Sean subsequently moves on.

According to the Edinburgh Evening News it's an initial fee of £25000.

RIP Ally. From his son, Jonathon: Last night, the 6th of February 2016, the world lost a great man. Dad has touched the lives of so many. Throughout his illness he has ensured that he has controlled it on his terms, that he wouldn't respect cancer because it doesn't respect those who lives it touches. He was a man who never put his illness in front of the times and memories he could create with family and friends. I don't believe there was a day that Dad spent where it wasn't full of fun and laughter. But he was also born with a warm and gentle heart. He was the man you could go to with any news, excitement or issues because he would always make sure the happiness of those around him came first. He was Mr Raith Rovers. The club was a core in his life, through attending with his father, brothers, daughter and sons; all the way through to his last days as media manager with the club. It's hard to image Ally Gourlay without Stark's Park, but it's impossible to think of Stark's Park without our Dad. He also brought people together through music. Art School Dancing was, as he put it, 'The Asylum for the musically insane'. Every Monday, Dad would proceed to bring to your ears some of the most random, unheard of tracks that were yet oddly brilliant. He had a talent in spotting great upcoming bands, and pushing their music out against the hoards of mainstream pop usually heard today. But most importantly, he was a great Dad. To Samantha, his eldest whom he could not ask for more. She was his princess, the sparkle in his eye, and a mum to two beautiful and sweet grandkids with her future husband Grant. To Matthew, his youngest. In the eyes of Matthew, Dad was his hero. Through his growing up, he couldn't stop saying how proud he was of his son, and that he had continued in his father's lead of exploring the weird and wonderful sounds and music. To Ian & Mary, Andrew & Angela, he was a great brother. Being the youngest by 12 years, he looked up to his brothers with an awe. To their wives, they were always his sisters. He had never known a time without them, and had never felt of anything but the same love to them he had for his brothers. To his Mum and Dad, he was the beautiful baby boy. They had been so proud of how he had grown up and the family he had brought up. He loved them both with all his heart. And to me, Jonathon, it may not have been Raith but he always supported my career and hobby in the railways, in everything I did and made time to ensure I could follow my dreams. He was so proud of Jessica, his lovely daughter in law who he adored, and enjoyed the battle of wits between them both. He has been, and always will be, my Dad and to Samantha and Matthew too. His greatest achievement in life, was creating the loving family and helping nurture us as we grew up. May my Dad finally feel at peace. Having slipped away gently in the night, as the spirits of his Mum and Dad came to lead him safely to Heaven, know that he was happy. He loved, and was loved, and shall never be forgotten. He leaves behind so many tears, but also so many smiles and memories. "Talk of the times, the love and the laughing." Alastair John Gourlay 05.07.1962 to 06.02.2016

When agents are involved anything's possible.

McKinnon pre-match saying they've been speaking to a club for the past three days about a signing so it seems there's no urgency about signing one of the trialists before Saturday.

Back page

He has two strikers on trial this week.

Even if we win 3 or 4 nil on Saturday some folk on here will find a reason to round on McKinnon.
