Over 20 players and only 3 new signings take it there will be more outgoings. Don't think the signings are upgrades. Only 1 player with any pace and that was Tiwi and they never play him.

I reckon the 'more outgoings' are indirectly covered in the squad list above as there are 5 players not mentioned who were assets at the end of last season.  Overall it looks like 11 are leaving from the squad of 26 (plus Ally Roy out on loan) that ended the campaign 

Dylan McDonald (Airdrie), Kai Montagu (Raith Rovers), Adam McGowan (Tranent), Cameron Eadie & Johnny Lyon (both Johnstone Burgh) and Aaron Arnott (back to Raith Rovers, end of loan) have all been announced.

Mark Morrison going to Troon & Liam Brown contracted terminated as you mentioned yourself on the last page .  Not announced anywhere yet but their departure looks like it's confirmed as they are not included in the list above.  Chris McGowan, Scott Ferguson and Ally Roy (on loan at Alloa) are the other 3 players not accounted for.  

Just 19 on that list, 16 remaining players plus the 3 new signings, so still 3 or 4 to come in I'd expect.  Only 5 defenders so would expect at least 2 to be added for some cover at full/wing back and maybe another central midfield player.

Agree about Tiwi, we always seemed to play him off the left wing and I felt that we weren't seeing him at his best.  Felt he'd be better through the middle as part of a two but we never played that way.

On the 3 signings I reckon 1 upgrade, 1 potential downgrade and 1 neither as he's not replacing anyone.  Jordan McGregor is better then Eadie.  Brown probably better then Jack Leitch.  The 6 forwards who completed last season are still here so Broque Watson is another option rather than a replacement.

Daily Record reporting EK signing Reegan Mimnaugh ex Hamilton access and QoS.

It has been a long day, I give up tell us who you have reportedly signed ??  I assume Reegan Mimnaugh is an anagram.  Surely no parent would name their child that !!!

Good passer sits in front of defence. Not great at the physical stuff.

They already have Spence and Mcgrory unless they are surplus to requirements.

What I saw at Accies Mimnaugh is a better player than Spence.

Parking up at your stadium easy enough for tomorrow night?

Yep the ground is inside Calderglen Country Park, you should be able to get parked up in the main tarmac car park outside the wee zoo bit & golf course. If for whatever reason the park is still busy then there's the overflow carpark just off to the left of the main entrance, but that's parking on grass so not always ideal after the rain we've had!

Mimnaugh's a superb player. If he hadn't ruptured his cruciate we'd have been in the playoffs for sure last season and might have made a decent fist at promotion. He was that important to us. However, signing a player who won't kick a ball much before September / October at this point is a surprise.

Ciaran McKenna I think the announcer said when he came on, not 100% sure.  14 was announced as Lee Connelly and the trialist goalie was David Wilson.

EK trying to reassemble a QoS squad? Connelly and McKenna to add to Stirling, McGrory, Mimnaugh (and Roy was too though appreciate he's gone again). Have I missed anyone?
