Both would be very good additions. With the latest speculation I can see Gullan leaving and being replaced by a proper number 9. I can also see Masson going out on loan and perhaps Corr as well if we can get Watson and Murray fit.

Ashcroft (who we’ve been linked to/rumoured to have interest in) starts again for Dundee unless they get another defender in by the end of the window I can’t see us getting him as it’s need to play basis for them just now, so we have to move on just incase but I have every faith in Murray/Barrowman and Potter has something lined up….

Quick question. Does anyone remember us playing Airdrie at broadwood in the 90s in the cup? I am sure Kirkwood scored a screamer? Can’t seem to find anything about it anywhere. 

Yes. Someone won a massive accumulator as well on the back of it if I remember rightly. I’m sure we lost 4-1

I remember the scoreline being 4-1 and the Kirkwood goal, but i was convinced we had won that for some reason.

I remember the goal- were we not giving him pelters for being fat and slow and he scored a screamer from 40yds or so?

Unless I’m thinking about a different game though I thought it was at Stirling?

I'm sure it was played on a Monday night due to the ground being used at the weekend. 

It was the season we went down from the premier league. 

There was some poor guy had put on a massive accumulator of about 17 teams and had to wait for us. A team playing shire losing most weeks against Airdrie who were cup specialists amd had already knocked us out of the league Cup that season.

Cheers John, you are an absolute hero. I am doing a wee blog thing to document all the stadiums i had been to, but could find nothing on it. I actually thought i may have misremembered and it had been held at the penny carrs or whatever it is called now, because the programme had an artists impression of their new stadium on the front of it.

It was the same game, I remember fans giving him pelters then he done that and i think everyones jaw was on the floor.

Must have just been confusing one soulless plastic stadium with another!

Would prefer to see someone who is comfortable right back/centre back come in than any other position. Millen has gone back wards in terms of his actual defending this season and its costing us consistently.

Buy this Saturday's programme and you can read all about it as it landed on the 27th January 1997.

Was that the game Peter Hetherston scored for them who promptly started getting it right up the Rovers fans? That's only game I mind against Airdrie at Broadwood, sure we were behind the goals as well for a change and Hetherston's goal was down our end.

That was the league cup tie earlier the same season. Airdrie won 3-2 after extra time. We were in the side stand at the Scottish Cup game.

I think/would like to see 2 loan players come in…. A defender and a striker (especially if Gullan leaves) 

A few have mentioned Lewis Stevenson but he’s part of the brickwork at hibs so I really can’t see him coming…. And he seems to be getting game time.

Christian Doidge on the other hand would be a shout… hibs have just signed another striker and an attacking midfielder in the last couple of days… so I really can’t see where Doidge fits into that hibs team, he was hardly featuring before this transfer window. He certainly knows where the net is and would be great in the championship. 
 

Doidge and Ashcroft….. sorted 👍🏻

I mentioned Doidge a couple of weeks ago as he's more of a bench warmer at Hibs and has spent a fair amount of time out on loan.

The guy that put the bet on was in the main stand and we were in the stand opposite. I remember the guy doing starjumps when the 3rd and 4th goals went in 🤣

Ashcroft starting tonight for a Dundee side 2 up at half time away to Hearts doesn't really square up as a player going out on loan in the next week or so....

Also in a Dundee defence that conceded 3 goals in the 2nd half so he will fit right in 👀
