with leagues wrapped up for most some early movement with retained lists and moves for next season being confirmed.
Raith announce signing of John Robertson from East Kilbride. Have to say he impressed me in the pre-season game we had at start of the season (albeit a very youthful pars backline).

Looks like we will be losing 3/4 players due to being out of contract and getting rid of the deadwood like Mehmet etc.
The club has a good eye for a player like Gilmour, Fraser etc so again looking at the Hearts/Rangers boys that won’t get a game and can develop more with us…We also have a good few youth players that deserve a chance and I’m sure if they have a good pre season will be given that. Big pre season for Fyfe if we can keep him then you have GK Margetts and Young McDowell..

I thought RR performances would tail off as the season progressed simply due to the age of the squad. Law of averages says that they will be more likely to suffer injuries either new or return of old ones, and take longer to recover. Proffessional sport at any level gets harder as the years go by, so a drop off in results isnt a big surprise as far as they are concerned.

Livi have made an early start to recruitment and no surprise that they are again raiding the ‘released’ lists of the lower English leagues where they presumably have a couple of scouts (our ex-loanee Miles Welch-Hayes being one example of a player sourced down south). With the EFL finishing earlier than other UK leagues, their ‘released’ lists are mostly already published, with some interesting names for Scottish observers. If any club is looking for a new goalkeeper, Tobi Oluwayemi hasn’t been offered a new deal at Orient and is a free agent, as is Shamal George (Wycombe) who was of course on loan at St Mirren. Looking at outfield players, ex-Dundee prospect Max Anderson (still only 25) is being freed by Crawley, with veterans Josh Magennis (Exeter), Funso Ojo (Port Vale) and our one-time nemesis Kane Hemmings (Barrow) also not offered new contracts.

TOBI seems to have drifted a bit with limited game time. He is from London so would want to ply his trade down there I would assume. It might be worth trying to get the Ox on a transfer if he was willing to come.

I work with Jason Talbot. He`s right decent bloke and fairly quiet lad. I find it quite funny that he`s famous for that incident beacuse it doesn`t reflect his personality at all.

Talbot only got a yellow for "the tackle" but got a retrospective 2 game ban, he was however sent off 13 times in his career, including 5 times in 35 games for Port Vale where one manager suggested his poor disciplinary record was due him being over-committed. I seem to recall him being sent off in friendly for us as well ?

Don’t think he got sent off, but the friendly v East Fife where Cardle came back, he very nearly broke my friend’s leg with a challenge.
It was an absolute shocker and should have, if not been sent off, been removed as a sub for it being a pre season game.

livi statement from today:
"The club would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Scott Arfield for stepping in to take charge of the team for the final three matches of the season.
Scott assumed responsibility ahead of our match against Dundee at extremely short notice, taking on the role with less than 24 hours’ preparation. Despite the challenging circumstances, he approached the task with professionalism, commitment and a real desire to support the club during a crucial period.
His willingness to step up when called upon reflects his character and leadership, and everyone at Livingston FC is incredibly grateful for his efforts across those final fixtures.
Discussions are currently ongoing with Scott regarding a potential combined player-coach role for the 2026/27 season. These conversations have been positive, and we hope to be in a position to provide a further update in the near future.
In addition, we can confirm that there has been a significant level of interest in the club’s vacant Head Coach position, with a high volume of applications received from both domestic and international candidates.
As the recruitment process progresses, we will now set a formal closing date for applications of Friday 22nd May, after which the club will move into the next stage of the selection process.
We thank all applicants for their interest in the role and will provide further updates in due course."
The earlier one when Bartley left suggested the football side was being run by the club/board and wouldnt be dependant on a manager being in place.

He’ll probably benefit from the extra time you get on the ball compared to the Championship. Joe Chalmers seems to be doing well at Inverness, probably due to the slower pace of the game.

John Rankin believes he has "a blank canvas" after being appointed Airdrieonians head coach.
Airdrie parted with Aaron Taylor-Sinclair, 35, following their relegation to Scottish League 1 via the play-offs and Rankin joins after a short spell as Ayr United interim manager.
Rankin, who made more than 100 appearances as a midfielder for each of Ross County, Hibernian and Dundee United, had a two-and-a-half year spell as Hamilton Academical head coach from 2022-25.
"It`s a blank canvas, I think there`s only a handful of players," Rankin told Airdrieonians` website. "Everything needs built and that`s probably the point where you think you can put your own stamp on it."

Logan Chalmers & Chris Mochrie.
IMO those 2 would rip defences apart & provide for Kane & Rudden in the centre.
Add in Aidan Fitzpatrick when your at it 🤣

dont see Chalmers and Fitzpatrick as realistic options, will have better offers plus there would have to be a total shift from 3 at the back.

I’m hoping, and sure we have been, trying to get players who have been released from the Premier Clubs and mount a title charge next season.
Our cup run in particular and the fact we have Lennon will have attracted a lot of attention.
Now I’m not saying we should be signing all these player below but as far as I can see they have been released by there clubs, or their contracts have ran out.
Each one of them would be an improvement on what has left and even what we still have in the first team.
CM - Allan Campbell (27)
CM - Kyle Magennis (27)
LW - Elie Youan (27)
LW - Charlie Reilly (24)
ST - Bruce Anderson (27)
ST - Tyreece John-Jules (24)
What ever happens thought, I can’t see us going for bog standard championship players who move each summer.
We have the nucleus of a quality team and with some fine tuning, quality over quantity, I feel a title charge is on the cards.

Pleased for McCann. They`d converted him to a wingback which he seemed to be revelling in - a bit how Ngwenya suddenly looks an unstoppable force at CB, but was a average LB at best.
Fraser - he`s got a long contract to run and we paid a fee. We`d be looking at transfer record territory for him to go, given we have no depth there at all.
That reminded me of the Cup Final Programme - there was a feature on him and it reminded me that we only got £650,000 for probably the best young player in Scotland, months after Raith got £900,000 for Stephen McAnespie who was also a RB, and absolutely cack.

Kearney was the one I was most excited about seeing last year but it didn’t quite happen for him.

Wasn’t really sure if it was even worth replying to this but I don’t see any bed wetting, acknowledging that during the close season there isn’t even a whisper of a potential rumour going about I find a little bit surprising - that’s it, no bed wetting so put the rod away sir.

I would think the club would be having conversations in strictest confidence, which is the correct professional approach. The fact that JCM and KN havent signed yet is a bit concerning but equally they havent signed for anyone else.
I am sure we are looking at incremental improvement this season so our signings will hopefully reflect that bearing in mind we have released a number of players.

The best thing about football fans is they will complain if they hear nothing about transfer and will complain if someone leaked all our targets and they started signing elsewhere just enjoy the ride as said above JCM and KN haven’t signed anywhere yet but my guess would be is JCM is enjoying a well deserved rest somewhere and obviously KN is still playing this season most leagues don’t kick off for another near 2 months so just relax and enjoy the ride

He went into a Livi team that was effectively down, and made them hard to beat, losing only 4 of his 11 games.
By the sounds of it he left Livi because they told him at the end of the season he would be given the job, then turned round and told him he had to apply for the position, along with all of his staff. Sounds like he left on his own terms after being sh@t on by the former manager.

Sound good hoolie, not sure who’s being upped into the first team but we’ll need a few more than 5.
Assuming Ngwenya and mullan leave and with Hamilton, Todd and likely Bene away, we need at least 5 new players ready for regular championship football instead of potential championship players once bedded in.
The drop off was massive last season when we needed to use the squad and still had a massive reliance on Kane and Gilmour etc.
Will be interesting to see who comes in and what the mix is of ready to go players and younger l players who might need a season or 2 as it will give you a feel for whether we’re competing for the title or the playoffs again.

They might usually finish 30th June but business gets done way before then , nothing to stop free agents and out of contact players to sort out new clubs and sign contacts from 1st July.

NL said at the start of last season;
I’ve got a luxury of good midfield players. You think of Hamilton, Tash, Gilmour, Alfons, Bray, so we’re well accommodated in there. It’s not me pushing Ewan out of that position. We looked at him in that position last year and felt he’d be more beneficial to the team in a wider area.”
Maybe there has been a parting of ways in terms of Ewan within the framework of the team. With Tash and Hamilton gone it seems he was lower down the pecking order. He has been good for the club so I wish him well. I think he will end up at a championship club subject to futness. If hes out of contract makes sense to get involved in the PFA pre season work.

Didn`t James McPake advise him to ignore interest from down South as he`d get better offers in due course if he stayed at the Pars and improved? You`d think those clubs who were interested then might take a chance on hm now that he`s a free agent. A lot can change in a couple of years though.

Yeah. It`s a shame for Ewan Otoo (which is very difficult to type without my phone trying to change it to something else - bloody Otoo-correct).
There is a player in there for sure, I`d have thought if anyone could help him find his best position and get the best out of him as a player it would be Neil Lennon.
It`s crazy that not long ago we were discussing interest in him from the likes of Leyton Orient and how fees less than £250,000 should be knocked back and the next thing we are letting him leave. I guess it`s like the Ngwenya situation in reverse, in December no one on here wanted to keep him and then he becomes a hot property

He`s a player I liked a lot, and we should be grateful for the season where everyone was injured, and he played in almost every position, filling in
I think this did harm his career, he just couldn`t define his position, and last season he had a couple of real stinkers.
Best of luck, he played some brilliant football also, surely a club at least at Championship level should pick him up, potentially he could go much higher, on the other hand his career could just fizzle out.

Wish Ewan all the best in getting a new club.
He had some decent physical attributes which meant he was able to play in a number of positions, but I don’t think he was a particularly good footballer. He could run, tackle, head the ball and run with the ball a bit but there wasn’t a single position where he was better than players who regularly played there. We had better centre backs, better central midfielders, better wing backs etc. He could do a job in a lot of positions and in a team with a small squad could be a useful player to have. As our ambitions and quality in the squad improved he became surplus.
With regards to the fees offered, my understanding is that these were fairly negligible and the comments regarding £250k were about the fees a club would need to make to sign him although the actual amounts offered were a country mile from this.
Always gave 100%, certainly can’t knock the effort he put in.

the club apparently asked about Donnelly in January but it didnt happen, he has been told he can leave Dundee but they have just sold two centre halfs so that might not be an option for a while. gut feeling is they will be looking elsewhere for that type of player.
im sure they are trying to get Oxborough back but Motherwell might not even consider it until they are out of Europe as an example, the club cant/shouldnt wait forever on any player.

Yes agree. He needs to step up this season, and put in some consistent performances over 90 minutes.
Good to see Keith Bray get two. Big season for him too. The squad looked fit and sharp so hopefully we can get off to a good start in the league. We dominated the game, its just that final.third. Kian Corbally looked good, looked for space., moved the ball well and has good balance Should have had a go from the edge of the box second half rather than push the ball wide that wasn`t really on we thought.

I thought the players looked fit and sharp enough. We do nèed at least one experienced CB in we thought. Additionally for some of the players who have been at the club for over a season or two (McLeod, Bray, Cooper etc.), at some point they need to have a run in the first team. Its a big season for those players.
It seems we are in the same position as last year, lacking a few players at the start of the season. GK, CB etc.
Josh Cooper has had plenty of opportunities, but he just doesn`t do anything with them. He actually looks better most of the time when he comes on as a substitute.
Was really surprised at his contract extension last summer, but we really need more from him, however he looks to be “an impact player” from the bench and nothing more. He was the same in League 1&2 with Stirling.
If he has another season like this, I do wonder if he will drift out of the picture.

I wonder if footballers now accept that not everyone can start but the availability of up to five substitutions means they have a good chance of playing even if they don`t start? You often hear managers say that the team you finish with is more important than the team you start with. Maybe it`s just psychology to boost the subs` confidence but often they are more effective in that role.
The World Cup just emphasises the importance of having good players on the bench who can potentially change the outcome of a game. Also, with fewer natural breaks in the game there is likely to be more need to replace tiring bodies and minds.

I do think in terms of opportunity for the team we look in better shape this season than last A number of players have moved on and that creates opportunities for the likes of Bray, McLeod and Cooper. I was surprised we let Chris Hamilton go, but perhaps there was an opportunity to strengthen in that area. I was impressed yesterday by the fitness levels and the physical condition of the players, that not only helps in the physical challenges but the ability to create more movement off the ball. We only had glimpses yesterday of Lewis Fyfe, but you can see he is developing physically and gaining confidence. He will break into the team this year and feature more, but no doubt will be carefully managed by NL and the team in my view.

Cooper hasn’t done enough, very fortunate to get a 3 year deal IMO, does chip in with goals but hasn’t got the pace or physical attributes to regularly make an impact.
Would like Fyfe to go out on loan maybe until Christmas this is a hard league to cut your teeth in as a striker and with rudden, Kane, shaw as recognised strikers I’d rather he was playing (no idea what will happen with young but should be given a chance before Fyfe at this point after a good season)
Hard to tell how we will shape up this season, need to play some championship clubs to get a feel for how we’re looking. Hoping for at least a few more to come in, in key positions to give us more pace, physcial presence and creativity to help break teams down.

It seemed a bit of a knee jerk reaction to give him a three year deal after a few good scoring performances in the Betfred Cup. It`s a big season for him coming up . If he continues to blow hot and cold, he could find himself being left behind in favour of a more consistent performer.

EK manager was very complimentary about CY. He has scored goals playing men’s football and you would think that he should be ahead of Fyfe and Sutherland in the pecking order. We paid a fee for him so you would think he would get a chance at least to see what he can do. Hopefully in the cup games.
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

He`s still only 21, so he`s got plenty of time on his side. I`d love to see him in League One. We know he can score in League Two, so his next test should be at a League One club. It all depends on what offers come in for him. His previous performances at Championship level flattered to deceive, albeit in a poor team.

It`s a strange one, you would have thought we would give him some minutes even in the friendlies - unless he is carrying an injury.
Another loan in the 4th tier isn`t much use to us in my opinion -we already know he can score there, and it`s miles away from our level.

Two deals affecting the Championship -
Partick Thistle have signed defender Ethan Ingram permanently. Ingram spent the second half of last season on loan at the Jags and impressed as they made the playoffs. He left Dundee in the summer and now he`s signed on permanently, penning a two-year deal.
Henry Fieldson is set to be announced as a St Mirren player. Record Sport understands the 21-year-old, who has spent the last two seasons at Queen`s Park, has signed a two-year deal with the option of another year. The 21-year-old left footed centre back, whose move is expected to be completed soon, is seen to be a potential replacement for Miguel Freckleton who departed the Paisley side to join Austrian Champions LASK. St Mirren said the club couldn’t stand in Freckleton‘s way when the possibility of playing Champions League football comes calling.

There`s a possibility that more new signings will be crossing the Irish Sea to come to Dunfermline with Lennon having tapped that market last year for Shea Kearney and now for Dibaga and Corbally.
He said: "Not just Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland is a good market as well.
"Although they have a lot of suitors over there from higher echelons and leagues above us.
"We`ve been looking at players in Dublin and Cork and obviously up north as well in the Irish League.
"Kian`s a player who`s been around a little bit in the League of Ireland and had a really good year at Ballymena.
"He`s slotted in very well and brings a little bit of something different to what we had last year.
"We`re delighted with how he`s done so far.
"It`ll be a transition period for him, no question, coming into full-time football.
"But he`s settled in very well, so yeah, it`s a market that we`re always looking at."

Dundee have signed former Hearts winger Alan Forrest.
The wide man has penned a two-year deal with the Dens Park club after leaving the Jambos when his contract expired at the end of the season.
We’ve been monitoring Alan’s situation for a while and it’s excellent to be able to bring him to Dundee," said boss Steven Pressley.He has all the attributes we were looking for in his position, like his one-to-one ability, delivery of crosses, and ball-carrying, and he is very hard-working against the ball.Like all of our signings so far this summer, Alan had plenty of options to consider and it’s great for us that he saw Dundee as a good fit for him.Alan is someone who knows the Scottish game very well. He’s performed well at this level for a number of years, and we believe he still has a lot to give.

Inverness have agreed a £30,000 fee to sign the Highland League’s top scorer Miller Keir. Caley Thistle has come in at the 11th hour to beat off competition from League One. The Highlanders have agreed a fee with Turriff United for their prize asset.
The teenager - in his first season in senior football - netted 28 goals in the Highland League and 31 in all competitions. That has persuaded Caley Jags boss Scott Kellacher to make his move.
Keir came through the ranks of Aberdeen junior outfit Hall Russell United. Turriff signed him from £500 last summer. Highland rivals Ross County had offered Keir a summer trial but he turned that down with permanent deals in the table.

Man of many clubs (including the Pars), Kai Kennedy, is training with Livi.
He must have some agent as he was atrocious with us.
Football fan logic. Player written off at 19 years old because they weren`t decent for the one season he played for us.
Yep, nothing to do with his stats since leaving us...
Apps: 151
Goals: 23
Assists: 34
Hardly brilliant numbers, especially considering most of those appearances came in League One. Even then, 10 goals in 59 games isn`t exactly impressive.
In the Championship, he`s made 45 appearances, scored 4 goals, and registered 7 assists.
I wouldn`t be worried if he signed for Livi.

Another goalie coming on loan to the Championship -
Hearts goalkeeper Liam McFarlane is set to move on loan to Partick Thistle for the season. The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at Alloa and travelled to the World Cup with Scotland as part of a future generation group. Now Jambos boss Wouter Vrancken hopes he can continue his development in the Championship.
He said: “Liam will be loaned out. I think it`s good for him just to play. I think it`s no use to put him on the bench or give him some minutes here or there. I think he has to go somewhere that he can play 90 minutes every week. And then he can be a good asset for us afterwards.”

Former Dunfermline youngster Liam Hoggan has said he is excited to "prove myself" after completing a move to Cowdenbeath.
The 19-year-old full back left the Pars at the end of last season, having progressed through their youth ranks, and has now signed on at Central Park.
Having signed a two-year apprenticeship at KDM Group East End Park in the summer of 2023, he made his first team debut in a League Cup tie with Annan Athletic.
That was one of two substitute appearances he made in black and white - the other came at Hampden, against Queen`s Park, in that same season - before he moved to Gala Fairydean Rovers on loan.
He twice went out to Cowden`s fellow Lowland League side, in the 2024/25 campaign, and last term, but his second stint was cut short in January, as he underwent surgery for a shoulder injury.
Hoggan, an SPFL Reserve Cup winner in 2024 and 2025, has now landed a move to the Blue Brazil, having played in their last three friendlies as a trialist.
The club said that the player, who has fully recovered from injury, "will provide competition in the wide areas", and Hoggan is keen to get going.
"It’s a good group of boys who made me feel really comfortable straight away," he said.
"We’ve got some experience and plenty of youth and I’m excited to see what we can do this season.
"It’s been tough for me recently with long term injuries so I`m excited to get back playing, prove myself, show what I can do and really kick on this season."
Blues boss, Paul McLean, commented: "He’s a player I’ve been aware of for over a year now and I`m glad we`ve finally got him into the club.
"He’s a versatile player who can play either wing back role and has a fantastic attitude.
"He’s fitted in well here while on trial and I’m confident he’ll continue to progress as the season gets going."
This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

Dunfermline Athletic are keen on Dundee defender Aaron Donnelly and want to land the Northern Irish international on-loan. The big centre half has been deemed surplus to requirements at Dens Park and head coach Steven Pressley is trying to help him get a move that will get him back playing. Donnelly has played his part in pre-season but Neil Lennon is keen to take him to the Pars, feeling his fellow countryman would strengthen his backline. Dunfermline are looking at a loan deal, similar to the agreement they have struck with Dundee United to bring in Sam Cleall-Harding.

I was up at the Dundee V Everton Friendly last Saturday and Donnelly played the full match.
Didn`t do much wrong even though Everton scored four.
He played left of a CB pairing. Accurate passing out of defence. Certainly 6 foot plus. Not the biggest built, I would say he looked a bit like a left back playing at centre half the way he positioned himself and moved about the pitch. I wouldn`t be too concerned with that if he came to the Pars, as we play a left centre back in a back three and that would suit him better than in back four. Maybe that`s why Pressley isn`t so keen.

Pars are among those interested in a young Rangers` midfielder according to the Record -
`Rangers are considering a string of Scottish Championship options for Calum Adamson. Partick Thistle, Raith Rovers and Dunfermline have all been in contact with the Ibrox side.
The midfielder impressed on loan at Alloa Athletic last season. Rangers now want him to take the step up to the next tier. Queen’s Park is also an option. The Spiders would be keen to take him as part of their cooperation agreement. That would also allow Rangers to recall Adamson for European games.`

I believe he was the only player who played 90 minutes. Certainly be a good move for Dunfermline and he would get game time in a team looking for automatic promotion. It would be good for both parties. Maybe he feels his time isnt over at Dundee or they think longer term he good do a good job for them. Sometimes you take a step back to take a step forward and get into an environment to build your confidence and experience. A permanent move would be better for him, as sometimes you just have to move on. Its not always about the money on offer at the time but the future opportunities it bring I think.

Abdulai in midfield could be an option as long as its not with Gilmour, it didnt work at all when it was those two, the couple other times with Amade alongside he looked ok in there.
R.Macleod as a wing back maybe, with so many attacking midfielder/no10 types in the squad and maybe more to come, got to find roles for some of these guys to plug other holes in the squad.

I’m in the need another experienced CB camp.
I’m just not convinced J.Tod is ready, he does well taking the ball up the park but think there are errors in him defensively still, and that’s to be expected right as he’s still young and learning the game but if we want to be challenging for the title we can’t afford to lose slack goals like we have done in previous seasons.
Robinson looks ok from what I’ve seen, I think he’s a bit of an old school defender and seems a bit limited going forward but looks like he’ll do the job.
SCH young promising lad, Fraser obviously high quality. Abdulai I think will be centre of defence and the experienced one - but I just think we need one more.

Unfortunately, we have been unable to reach a suitable resolution and the situation has become untenable. We therefore feel it is time to draw a line under the matter and in the best interest of Queens we have mutually agreed to terminate Kai`s contract.

Abdulai could do a job in midfield but only in a game where we are protecting a lead, basically the job Chris Hamilton did for us.
In a game where we are on the front foot needing creativity and accurate passing then no way can he play there. Central defender first and foremost.
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Similar to Otoo, I don`t think it would be a good thing for Abdulai`s development to shift his position around. He`s much better as a centre back for me and should remain there. We need to bring in a central midfielder battler but I`d rather they were natural to that position already.

I like Moffat.
He was hot and cold when he played for us so I wasn`t too disappointed when he left but he`s changed my mind a bit since.
When we played Morton at East End last season he was doing a lot of things I had hoped Caceres might do. His performance made me question our signing policy a bit.
As a player I`d imagine that kind of performance is exactly what you want to give against a former employer who has let you go.
He`s doesn`t seem to play a full 90 very often so maybe an injury or fitness issue there. He should be excellent in L1.

Was indeed a cracking save. They also lost two goals from corner kicks where the ball was played into the edge of the six yard box. Not saying either was his fault, but his inability to come of his line was always one of his achilles heel.

Here’s a notable tale from coaching circles: set-piece specialist Austin MacPhee has quit Aston Villa. He’s off to join Chelsea, one of three teams who were chasing his signature.
Time was when the transfer of a backroom employee in MacPhee’s role wouldn’t have made the news. Moreover, time was when the precise position he held at Villa Park didn’t even exist. But in the goalscoring dash, set-piece specialists are more and more coveted. Villa scored 29 times from dead-ball situations last season. On MacPhee’s three-year watch, they scored 74 times in total.

Are the wing backs playing higher this season or is that simply down to who we are playing.
There`s no doubt our performances improved last season when we switched from 3 x CB`s to 2. Lots of games where we looked a different team when that happened.

I think NL is building a squad to go for automatic promotion. No doubt there will be injuries over the season, but will also want competition for places?
There does not appear to be any useable data published by clubs in Scotland on injuries generally, but estimates are 10% of game time lost by plàyers is good, average is 10-14%, high is over 20%. 62% occur during games, 35% in training and 2% other.
It obviously can vary widely player by player, but a useful metric to record, monitor and publish in some capacity I would have thought.

I think having the flexibility to play either 2 or 3 at the back is important. Kearney and Fraser are much better as wing backs than full backs imo and J Tod + SCH have looked more comfortable as a 3 so far albeit after only 4 games.
That could all change but we`ll also have several more players leaving on loan you`d imagine, such as Davidson, Rowe, McLeod & wherever Young is as well.
Lennon will be keen to avoid the scenario at the end of last season where especially in attack we were short-handed and that had an impact on our playoff run too. Interesting to see what the squad looks like by the end of the window

Presumably he was excluding the Aaron Donnelly deal if that`s already agreed and just waiting for Dundee to bring someone in to make way for his departure.

I personally think all things considered we already have a stronger squad than this time last season. With JCM and KN away and the guys who have come in and will come in, I think that we will be more resilient, creative and difficult to beat. The younger players have a season under their belt, and you can already see the improvement at this early stage. I think Callum Morrison will come on to his game and score goals. Similarly Zack Rudden isnt far away and Chris Kane is probably the most natural goal scorer in the championship. Add Andy Tod, Olly Shaw, Keith Bray and Rory McLeod to the mix and potebtially goals from set pieces and corners from the central defence. We have a group of players with goals in them from all areas of the park

`Livingston are set to add more firepower to their Championship promotion push by re-signing Bruce Anderson. The 27-year-old is about to return to the Lions for a second spell. He had been in talks with Rotherham but has decided to return to Scotland.
The striker is a free agent after leaving Kilmarnock at the end of the season. Anderson had a successful three-year stint at Livi before that. Head coach Glenn Whelan was keen to add another goal threat and was keen to get Anderson on board. A deal is expected to be done for Anderson to make his second bow against Queen’s Park tomorrow.`
That would be a great signing in my opinion. I remember being impressed by him when we had him on loan from Aberdeen when Allan Johnston was our manager I think. I thought he would have gone on to better things actually.

Crawford was in charge when Anderson came to the club.
"So think that would leave 3 more players to come in if that deal goes ahead smoothly."
if looking at what left they havent replaced Turley, Hamilton, Todd and Thomas in terms of positionally and type of player. maybe they could do that in 3 rather than 4 but they need to get that sorted along with few out on loan to balance the squad.
edit: will need more than that and more outs as well if its going to be ripped up and start again as a back 4 after 1 league game.

According to Scott Burns in the Record -
Raith Rovers are about to sign Rangers youngster Calum Adamson. Dougie Imrie has won the fight to land the midfielder on-loan from the Light Blues. Championship rivals Ayr United and Queen’s Park both wanted him. English sides Grimsby Town, Cheltenham and Carlisle also tried to take the 18-year-old on-loan. Adamson considered his option and decided he wanted to move to Starks Park and work under Imrie. Rangers will have the option to recall him in January.
Imrie was impressed with Adamson’s standout performances on-loan at Alloa Athletic. He feels the teenager can make a similar impact in the Championship. Imrie had success last season when he took young Rangers defender Paul Nsio. He has now stepped up and gone on loan with St Mirren. That was another factor in Rangers agreeing to this loan.

Dunfermline Athletic can announce that Callum Shearer has joined Kirkintilloch Rob Roy FC on loan. Striker Callum joined the DAFC Academy in 2024 from Glasgow side Rossvale BC. He enjoyed an outstanding campaign last season, finishing as the Under-17s` top goalscorer after finding the net on more than 25 occasions.
Last week young midfielder Struan McLeod also headed out on loan to join Dundonald Bluebell. Struan arrived at the club in April 2026 after impressing during a trial period, having previously been registered with Hibernian. Struan, as well as Callum, were part of the first-team squad that travelled to Bulgaria for the club`s pre-season training camp, gaining valuable experience alongside the senior players.
The moves will give both 2009-born players the opportunity to gain valuable experience in a competitive environment.
Everyone at Dunfermline Athletic wishes Callum and Struan all the best.

Inverness wanted him back last season, and we said no because we didn’t have enough depth in the squad.

so from my post 2 weeks ago Turley returns, Oyirwoth, Lobban and Adams in. Davidson out, presume E.McLeod and Young will go out also which takes the squad to 25, after that any other incomings would surely be 1 in 1 out unless another co-op agreement is done?
seems way too early to say thats the squad finished, suppose still a couple of weeks left in the main window to bring in another random foreign player from one of Bord`s other teams.

Not sure we need too many more in to make 433 work. We have plenty defenders. Enough CM and enough strikers.
Wingers/Width. Morrison/Bray right side.
It’s left side where we are short. It’s certainly not Andrew Tods best position so imo we need a pacey left sided midfielder winger.
That would be 28, so a few, maybe four would go out on loan. Both McLeods and probably Young and an other.
I believe Young is still injured ? Not heard anything.
Call me old fashioned but I always liked a “ Little and Large “ combo up front.
I would like to see what he could do in a 433 playing along side Kane/Rudden or Shaw but don’t think it will happen as he does not seem to be flavour of the month.
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

probably 1 defender too many, 1 creative central midfielder short and none of the strikers can play as a lone striker plus if going to 1 then you dont need at least 5 in the squad.
Bray isnt a wide player, Morrison isnt good enough, in that system Tod and Cooper dont fit in so you need at least 1 other option on the left.
ideally you could cover every option/role in any system but it doesnt work like that, right now this squad is way off it in any system though.

and after that....Lennon would like another centre forward....
However, given the East End Park men have struggled to turn possession and chances into goals in netting just three times from their last five matches, his final target is no surprise.
“Probably up front,” he said when asked where he would like to add to his squad. “I think the rest of it’s covered now.
"I’m not demanding it or asking for it.
“But just if there’s a player that comes along, with the profile of a player that suits us, we will look into it.”
"We have players that are quite similar,” he admitted. “So, it’s just a case of trying to find a different type, with quality, if we can.
“But they’re like hen’s teeth hard. Good centre forwards are hard to find.
“So, we’ll just keep looking around anyway.”

Why not keep the squad numbers higher, injuries have certainly hurt us and ability to field a starting eleven certainly hampered our ability in last years Cup final.

The type of defender teams with ambitions to get promoted sign. Experience……. Rovers have quietly been building a decent squad. With Tiffoney, McMullan, Easton, they have players to unlock defences. Think they will be top four this year..

I notice Easton rarely starts now. Dougie Imrie seems to prefer him as a sub.
They certainly have plenty of experience with Brown, Hanlon, Fordyce and Stevenson still in their squad but will they have the legs to get through the season?

I remember seeing him elbow Aiden Fitzpatrick in the face last season on TV. Ref missed it but it was really blatant and he got a retrospective ban for it.
Raith have a few boys there that could start an argument in an empty house.

The average age of the RR squad is about 28. Their defence is approx 32. They have deliberately brought in younger legs in midfield (avg 29) and attack (avg 26).
An ageing centre of defence becomes vulnerable if Raith are required to defend large spaces, play a high line or repeatedly deal with quick transitions.
Recovery between Saturday–Tuesday–Saturday fixtures is another issue. The effect tends not to be dramatic in August; it becomes more noticeable through December–March, when accumulated minutes, knocks and poorer pitches start affecting availability and mobility.
Their summer recruitment does appear to recognise this. Raith released a substantial amount of experienced personnel — Ross Matthews, Jack Hamilton, Josh Mullin and Shaun Byrne among them — and have introduced younger players alongside the established core.
I think they could finish anywhere from 4th to 6th.
In comparison to the Pars, the key difference is that Dunfermline`s summer rebuild has produced a much younger, more athletic squad, whereas Raith have retained an experienced spine while trying to put younger legs around it.
Early mid-season Raoth will be strong but Feb to April may struggle with the age of the squad. I expect us to start slowly and build into a stronger team as the season progresses. We have a higher ceiling in that respect so if we can turn more of the good performances into wins we could finish anwhere between 1st and 4th. Its between the Pars, Livingston, Partick and Raith this season in my view.

Latest from Scott Burns on the Baird signing -
Raith Rovers are looking to sign Jack Baird in time for the derby tonight. Rovers are set to give the centre half a two-year deal. They have agreed a package with St Johnstone to sign their defender.
Boss Dougie Imrie is hoping the paperwork will be completed to allow Baird to make his debut at Dunfermline Athletic tonight. Imrie previously worked with him at Morton. He has been keen to land him all summer. Baird helped St Johnstone to last season’s Championship title.

It`s not all that long since John Sim was saying Rovers were perilously close to administration in the final months of last season. Things seem very different now as they appear to be doing a lot of transfer business.
I hope he doesn`t cause a `boy who cried wolf` situation. You could see a situation where fans at some point don`t believe in a genuine poverty claim.

Rovers will do what they usually do against us, start hard and fast and leave a foot in early to set a markers for some of our younger players who might then go into their shell.
Will be interesting to see how we stand up to a big physical team who won’t sit in and defend.

I`ve got to defend big Nick as I`m a huge fan. He was definitely a panic buy but it wasn`t Nick`s fault that the fee was so large. He started brilliantly at Newcastle, scoring some great goals in a new league as the only fit striker. Then Eddie Howe mucked him about by playing him in midfield where his confidence took a massive hit. He struggled to regain that confidence, and an unfortunate own goal against Sunderland sunk his confidence even lower. A new boss comes in and doesn`t fancy him to fit in to his high pressing style of play.
I feel really sorry for the kid,he was clearly overjoyed to join the club and didn`t want to leave on loan but was forced out the door. Hopefully he does well in a slower league so Newcastle can sell him at not to much of a loss. He`s tremendous with the ball at his feet for such a big guy, although he`s a bit dodgy in the air. I reckon it`s a mistake to get rid of him as he was determined to fight for his place. Newcastle now have very little trial threat up front, and today`s new signing is another bit of risk.
I wish him all the best for the future.

I would imagine most at Newcastle would like to keep Woltemade. He`s scored about 1 in 4 in the premier league which is decent. His height also makes him handy in both boxes. If however he isn`t going to start every week the club might feel they have no choice but to move him because of the new financial rules.
In `Squad Cost Ratio` terms having his wages fully covered by Juventus and bringing in a loan fee is obviously offsetting a huge cost this season.

The transfer window finally closes in Scotland at 5 pm today and it seems there will be a late flurry of activity, certaily amongst Premiership clubs although there may be a knock-on effect farther down the Leagues if that means players become available. Falkirk are expected to announce their 17th (!) signing of the summer later today.
So here we are with League football well under way and the preliminary rounds of European competitions complete before clubs have finalised their squads. Is it really any better than the old arrangements when transfers could happen any time during the season until around March?

Definitely not better for supporters.
I used to love waiting to understand what trialist was being presented to us by Leishman or a big signing on a Friday or Saturday morning would be “thrust” into action on the Saturday afternoon.
Conversely with no signings now outside of windows allowed me to know what I would be watching, or hiding behind my fingers, for the next 5 months under the German owners 🤦♂️.

`After training with clubs such as Dunfermline Athletic after being released by Rangers, McPake signed a deal on 23 February 2024 with Scottish League One club Stirling Albion until the end of the season.`
Success in football rarely follow a straight line. Guys like Connor Young should take heart from that.
