Ryan strain is the one player we really need to sign on a new deal. He is better than Baccus. Still expecting Baccus to go once the transfer window opens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strain has been a magnificent signing. Can't remember such an effective right back in recent years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Honestly, I wouldn't be overly coincerned if Baccus goes. Very good player, but he just hasn't hit the heights since the World Cup. He may be carrying a knock or simply running on empty, but at this point, he's not exactly irreplacable. Strain, on the other hand, would be very hard to replace. I'd be gutted to lose him this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Robinson seems to like doing business early as possible, so with that in mind let’s hope we see some movement soon on the incomings front. I see an article on Twitter from one of the gutter rags, exclaiming that Jay Henderson won’t be hanging about waiting too long, after spending time on loan at ICT. I would not be surprised to see Goodwin take him at Utd or maybe even Dundee having an interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Sensible Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) Folk saying that Baccus wasn’t the same after returning from the WC But as someone else pointed out, Baccus’ downturn in form also coincided with Erhahon leaving. Erhahon played the holding midfield role that allowed Baccus to play. Gogic doesn’t sit back and play the holding role like Erhahon did. In addition, Gogic was frequently used in defence meaning that Baccus had to play the holding midfield role.

NorthBank Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Before the last game against Sevco at Grayskull Baccus was dropped with the manager stating that Baccus had picked up an inury at the WC and had been playing through it on his return. Hopefully we will see the real Baccus next season if his injury has cleared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Think they are going straight to the final, as it's the only way they can guarantee that Morton make it that far 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the semis would generate decent interest and final without St Mirren or Morton would also attract interest. Or even have St Mirren and Morton playing in quarter finals, even if only playing the youngsters Will never happen, I’d just find it interesting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrie82 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) I mean fair enough for a friendly knock about but don’t try telling me anyone still really cares about the “Renfrewshire derby “ . Standing on the the benches with no roof might be old school but I’d rather be going to many other Scottish grounds before this. i imagine tho it’ll get a bigger crowd than most other opponents would so makes sense Edited June 6 by Norrie82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Celtic supporter seems very excited about it. The lack of self-awareness is astounding. https://twitter.com/DeclanJ04/status/1666104804836364288 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
