    Perceived handy cl draw, a fumbling rangers, 26mill on three players who can't get in the team and Rodgers contracts running down. Lot of reasons in the boards head why we haven't spent. Same time can't comprehend how we haven't at least addressed rw

    There’s another good example of a player who we probably could have went and got going for a fee we could afford.

    Callum Doyle, left sided centre back and left back moving to Wrexham for up to £8m including add ons. A good young player who would have had a lot of upside within a problem position (actual could cover 2) and we have instead loaned his former team mate.

    Honestly make it make sense now what the * we are trying to do.

    8pm will come and go. If no additions for the play off, there will be a lot of anger. For about 50 minutes.

    8.50 half time score comes in from Ipox Triggers Broom fc are 3-0 down, so now all is right with the world again.

    If anyone thinks we are going to sign a player or two within the next 7 hours, so they can be registered for a tie they will NOT play in due to either fitness or lack of game time, don't do it to yourselves.

    If you’d said 4 weeks ago after Pusey came in that we will make no additions prior to our CL qualifier I wouldn’t have believed you. And that’s even knowing how bad we’ve been with transfers before. Actually unforgivable and hugely unprofessional. Please please let us get 4 or 5 goals up on Wednesday then we can turn on that board and give them dogs abuse. They 100% deserve it

    I suspected it on the basis that there were no names or murmurs at all at that point. This is what makes things so worrying right now. We take around 2 weeks to conclude deals from when the links emerge to announcing the signing. We don't have any links right now. People need to resign themselves to the fact we are probably looking at 2-3 signings before deadline day as a best case scenario and if we do get those I can see at least two of them being loans. I don't think we will have any new player involved in the matchday squad for Ibrox in 12 days time.

    The Scottish Premiership transfer window closes on September 1 at 11pm
    The Premier League transfer window closes on September 1 at 7pm

    Are we actually waiting until the last 4 hours of the window to do the majority of the rest of our business knowing no english teams can sign them??

    You’ve answered your own question here our window starts at 7:01pm on the 1st of September.

    It’s not like we have an away derby and CL qualifier (literally biggest games of our season) before then.

    Given how our board logic works, we once side CCV then so it’s a great time to do business. Whilst ignoring Nat Phillips etc. just like we don’t shop in South America because we have had 3 players from there in 30 years and none of them worked out.

    We aren’t signing anyone before tonight obviously.

    We usually announce a few days after it’s been confirmed by everyone apart from the club and a few weeks after first story pops up.

    We don’t do surprise/last minute signings really unless it’s the final day.

    the only hope I have is that weve kicked the can down the road so much, they might look at bowie as an easier option to get over the line

    Absolutely disgrace we need to wait to see if we get CL before signing players.
    Just lucky we got a very favourable draw.
