Yes. But those strikers were perfectly fine in the league last season, a league we're told is of a higher standard than Lithuanian teams.


Were Kane and Cummings really fine though? Both are poor and bring very little to the team. At best they are adequate.

That gubbins ringer Kane cored just five goals in 29 appearances last term, so you're talking shite once again. 

Thanks for playing anyway.

Chris Kane and Graham Cummins scored 7 league goals between them last season. 

That's pretty f*cking awful to be honest.

You started today with a guy who got 5 goals in the league last year in 23 appearances. That does not suggest he is of competent quality to start a European football game for you. You can rest on last seasons laurels but that doesn't disguise the criminally poor recruitment and tactics that has resulted in you crashing out the competition.

They contributed more than goals, often opening up space for Swanson. It's utterly clutching at straws, but MacLean, Cummins and Kane has been our strike force for the past two seasons and we've been fine.

We've been lucky to have MOH and then Swanson taking up the slack. Maybe we assumed Scougall would fill that gap, maybe there was simply nobody available before last weekend. We're not getting a 15-20 goal striker on a free with the wages we pay.

I'll swap Blair Alston for local Perthshire lad Scott Shepherd. Quick, strong, scored a bucket load in the development league last year. Great potential...

apart from us, celtic  and Aberdeen, who have actually won a tie in the europa league from scotland in recent years?

If we take 2011-12 as the starting point - 5yr ago and after Motherwell's runs in the 2 previous seasons - then in addition to Celtic and Aberdeen's various runs you've also got Hearts beating Paksi and Infonet, and St Johnstone beating Rosenborg and Lucern.

Dundee Utd, Hibs, ICT, Motherwell and Rangers came up short.


Respectable defeats would include Hibs to Brondby (on pen); Inverness to Astra; St Johnstone to Trnava, Minsk (on pen) and Eskisehirspor; Motherwell to Kuban, Panathinaikos and Levante; Hearts to Liverpool and Spurs; Dundee Utd to Dynamo Moscow and Slask Wroclaw.


On the balance sheet of embarrassment you've Hearts losing to Birkirkara; St Johnstone losing to Alashkert and Trakai; Motherwell losing to St Jarnan; Rangers losing to Niederkorn; and also add in Hibs thrashed by Malmo.

Before going into liquidation Rangers had also lost v Malmo and Maribor under McCoist.
