Dunga McClung, Logan O'Boy.

Not sure I approve of the name "Bobby McLuckie", it's the kind of name you'd give a scrappy hero in an adventure story for 10 year olds.

I really hope we offered deals because we were contractually bound to do so (after X appearances or something) rather than Murray thinking he knows how to use them.

20 grand is fine if we rate him. If he's coming from a lower level he probably has a lower signing-on fee than an experienced player.

Frankie Deane's available.

Filip Stuparevic signed for IBV in the Icelandic top flight about a month ago. He's yet to score a goal in two starts and three sub appearances and his team is bottom of the league with one point after seven games, 6 goals scored, 20 against. He's probably on decent money there but still, bit of a shanner to drop to what's probably League One standard at best and to play for a team likely to get relegated. I wonder if IBV actually train on Vestmannyaejar (the islands off the south coast that they represent and where they play their home games) or if they're based in Reykjavik. Reykjavik is a great city, pound for pound one of the best in the world for culture, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in Iceland as an expat.

They'll both absolutely stroll that division. Although it'd be funnier if this was the start of a five-year exile like Falkirk, I don't think it will be.

I mean there's no real principle as to why championship team should get it if we're being honest, UEFA gives it to non-qualifiers to try to even the playing field a little versus those clubs with prize money, and that doesn't apply to us.

It's a "non brainer", Murn doon. Yes they'd probably thump us but it's a bit of extra money in the bank for us versus having no derbies, and more importantly it'll take them down a peg after their recent successes.

Barrie McKay was mediocre for us but that's because he didn't bother. It was clear as day he was going to play at a high level, up to and including Scotland. I'll admit I didn't see Shankland being as good as he turned out to be, though.

Dunfermline Neil Lennon's Athletic carry the hope of a nation on their broad shoulders.

OOH! DUBIETY! OOOOOH!

Strapp is in a different galaxy to the other players released and even he didn't manage a step up. Total rose-tinted glasses to say guys like McGrattan were anything above 'decent at times'. Garrity will go the same way - good professional and a decent player but no more than that. Strapp is the only one I'd consider signing as a starter.
