I saw it before it went down, Rankine was double and triple accounting loans. Say he loaned the club 30k, he'd turn around and count it three times and claim he's owed 90k.

There's Rankine officially 'telt' then. Are we finally rid of him, is it done?

I'd actually quite like us to sign Christian Doidge on loan for 6 months, not a lot of talk about him but Hibs signed a lot of forwards in the last year. He must be about 4th/5th choice. Kind of striker that has the required hold up play and fits the profile I'd imagine Martindale wants

Montano out at least 4 weeks. Martindale still wants to add 3 before the end of the window. Surely this stuff with Rankine is getting old, is it finally in the realm of frivolous law suits? He brings the same case up and never wins.

Apparently signed a deal with Killie already

It's got a 7pm deadline day Martindale panic signing all over it.

Part of me thinks bringing in McGovern is the right profile, played at the top level for good teams. Experienced and has been in a few relegation battles whilst still playing at international tournaments. He's got that level of experience that is vital in a relegation battle even if he isn't on the park. I don't want to talk down to Maley but he's probably very underqualified to be a Premiership goalkeeping coach and Shamal looks to have regressed since arriving. If he can get some quality and experienced passed down to Shamal then that's a bonus.

I think it's between Exeter and Motherwell, or so the article on the Record said. Seems like it's Exeter he's away to

100k + add ons + 15% sell on is the apparent deal we've accepted

I doubt it, I think the fact that very few of the loans were actually decent put an end to us using that avenue as a viable recruitment technique

Martindale confirmed that Teto has returned to South Africa, would imagine that's the end of that. Unsure if that means we're just releasing him or if he's back trying to find a loan there now.

Can't wait to go back to the scene of the playoff final. Great draw for both teams, not sure we can compete with a team with such a big budget though!

BOING BOING

I'd take Airdrie/Morton/Partick. Bonnyrigg the obvious one. Rangers/Celtic away could give us more money to use in the final days of the window too. Just not something boring like Motherwell or Killie please.

Apparently 'nominal' according to Martindale amounts to 100k + add ons + 15% sell on. So there's the fee that's up for discussion.

Motherwell too

Has Ian Murray always been a greeting faced b*****d? He thought Shinnie should’ve been off and Raith should’ve won ffs

Play him at striker and spent 90 minutes greeting about how frustrating it is

I reckon he'll do well as long as he's played at LW, not messed about as a striker and if he gets time and space. If he gets doubled up on then he's useless.

Apparently you've bid though! Good luck with him if so, don't play him as a striker. Massive fall off this season for him

And there's your link in the record, it's apparently you lot and Exeter for Nouble.

To be fair neither did we, Sangare filling in at CB was a surprise. I made a comment at the game about how this looked like a top end Championship clash, both teams felt like they had chances to win it and it was a very open game.

Yeah he was stuck in at RWB for a bit. Obviously not his actual position, get him at LW and you're fine.

Only other CB we had on the bench was a 16 year old. Montano could've filled in there if he didn't also go off. Mo in general tends to just stagger around the place when not concussed to be fair. He was a CM filling in at CB as well. I was more surprised as Sangare, our CB, burst into the box with a late run while we're clinging to a 2-1 lead. A proper box to box centre back performance from him today.

According to Martindale it's a 'nominal' fee. So even at that, maybe?
