11th December '71 v Albion Rovers , we were in the process of messing up any chance of promotion , and that was a rare victory as we were in a run that saw us lose to Cowden , Stenny and the 'Shire !

This one here is him and Jim Blair in the 72/73 League Cup game , the first time we wore the Ajax style strip. Your photo is the SC tie in early '72.

DDs private jet landed at Glasgow 15 minutes ago , something going down ?

He moves onto a monthly contract , until he signs a new deal with us , or until someone comes up with the development fee ( he's been with us since aged 8 !

It does , but he played every game for Shrewsbury last season so he must be decent , and he's a bruiser , like Main.

The Kieron Bowie loan deal won't be happening now , and we've turned our attention to Robert Street of Crystal Palace !

10-0 loss to Aberdeen a few weeks back didn't help !

I believe there's some kind of stand-off , the academy staff think the older boys should be fully coached by them , but SR wants a bigger say , and wants the older boys hardened up as they get closer to being involved with the senior team ?

I heard a whisper there has been disquiet at the academy . Apparently everything up to the 16 year olds is fine , but the older boys are not enjoying it and are reportedly wanting out , hence the likes of Murray Campbell is leaving .

It is what it is , a man sent off in all four games between the clubs this season , each time the team with 11 were victorious . Two teams with a lot of improving to do going forward !

No , it wasn't even mentioned !

Best news was the predicted profit this year , following last years heavy losses !

Heard another few wee snippets last night after the AGM , eg Robinson not 100% set to stay , he was first choice for the NI job but we demanded heavy compensation and there are clubs in England sniffing about him too.

He's turned down the offer of a new contract with St Mirren , which means he'll be out of contract soon. The development fee due to St Mirren will be 6 figures though as he's been here since he was eight !

Not in JWs case , he played with several local boys clubs , including as a sub for Renfrew Argyle in this pic from 1973 .

Horrific run of results since he was appointed !

Chill's cost us this game with one mad moment , Celtic were looking increasingly frustrated , just like the last time !

Goodwin , before the weekend ?

Fakes aren't appealing the decision because it will be seen as "reckless" . Red every day of the week !

Butcher's a marked man , some of his later bookings for United were just because it was him , an easy target for refs.

Mate, Dougie Bell was a St Mirren reject , played twice under Fergie , and that was it , released at the end of 78/79 . Big Stark gave us 8 seasons , he had gone stale with us. Frank never really recovered from his broken leg , he wasn't the same player for us after that , having said that Fergie got a tune out of him for a short time !

Almost a full strength City side in the 2-2 first leg at Maine Road - Healey, Book, Donachie, Doyle, Booth, Jeffries, Summerbee, Towers, Davies, Brennan, Mellor – subs Lee(45), Corrigan(45)

There's a new quote from SR saying he expects players out in the next 24 hours , "and trusts the BOD to provide the finances for new signings" although "it's not the way I usually go about things" !

He's a clown , always looking for trouble and can't back it up , then a wee elbow , right in front of the ref. Get him to f**k !
