Leicester v Spurs is the latest high profile casualty because of Covid. I'd imagine that many more will follow? Thomas Franck, the Brentford manager, has called for games to be cancelled until after Christmas. It has some merit, because as well as teams having to field under strength sides, it would prevent fans from attending games, thereby football doing it's bit to help curb the spread. The downside is that Sky, BT and AMAZON have all paid big bucks to show games over the festive period and would no doubt want their money back? Hot off the press and David Martindale has asked for a two week postponement in Scotland. It's inevitably going to happen. No game and no fans or games without fans

I agree. It’s astonishing how poor some so-called top players are with their weaker foot. No excuse. Practice makes perfect. i spent many hours as a young lad, battering a ball off a wall and hitting it back with either foot. The result was I played most of my football on the “wrong side”. Most people I played with thought I was left footed. I can’t stress enough how big an advantage it gives you.

Lewis was a good footballer and could play in a number of positions

Rugby Park is a huge pitch. I’d be tempted to try and get O’Hara in the team, along with fit guys like Pybus and Allan. A draw would be a good outcome

if he could get himself fit, he'd get into the team?

He could play 4-5-1 with three central midfielders? Dow, Pybus, Dorrans, Allan, Kennedy ( Thomas when fit ) Dow and Comrie had a great partnership a few seasons back. I would like to see that given a run again

Jim Goodwin and Jack Ross could swap clubs? I rate Goodwin

Alex Neil, I think was quoted recently as being ready to return to Scottish football? 2 + 2 = 5?

It's being reported that Hibs have fired Jack Ross after a poor run. Derek McInnes must be the favourite to replace him?

I agree with you, Al, it's just it often doesn't pan out the way it should? A win would be great, but a draw wouldn't be disastrous. I think we just need to grind out some results until we can get some new players in. I think Newcastle are in the same boat?

And Hamilton lost to Auchinleck…..

Dunfermline to Kirkcaldy - 11.32 : 12.11 Kirkcaldy to Dunfermline - 1904 : 19.43

From the Scotrail website:- Sunday 2 January Slightly later start on some routes, then a normal Sunday service will operate.

I'm not confident - It's hard to see where the goals will come from. I wonder if privately, Yogi will think a draw might be acceptable without Thomas and Dow ( possibly ) with a view to getting to January without being cut adrift?

It’s depressing to see a young player dive at every opportunity. Normally, you see that behaviour more from an “old pro”

Agree. That’s not going to happen

Dorrans can’t get around the pitch like he used to. That’s obvious because of his age, but that’s why you have guys like Allan, Todd and Pybus. He’s still a good player. Both Grant and Hughes thought enough of him to make him captain

More bad news. Thomas has a knee injury. Could be anywhere from 4-6 weeks but may also need surgery

Perhaps some are seeing that maybe it wasn’t all Grant’s fault ?

Does anyone know what the problem has been ?

Jinxed him. He’s off injured after making the goal for Kyogo

I remember watching him at east end when on loan at DUNDEE UTD and thinking he would never get a game at Celtic. He’s been a revelation this season. It just shows you what can happen when a manger believes in you and gives you a run. take note, Lewis McCann

He clearly appointed guys that he knew he could work with. In hindsight, he may have made different choices? Will be interesting to see if gives Jason Dair a job?

Would have been good to have had him back coaching our forwards, but that's not going to happen anytime soon

You didn't miss much last night - Newcastle and Norwich looks certs to go down
