    Ralston for the next three months is a sickening prospect.

    Don't worry, we'll have Yang at RW for the next 3 months to soothe the blow.

    A huge loss. Thats Johnston now on top of Jota basically out until christmas. Two massive players for the team. You knew the way he reacted to his hamstring at the time that this was a bad one and sure enough its just that. I suppose the only consolation is that given the crazy schedule he has had between Celtic and Canada the guy has hardly had a break since he signed for us so he is getting one now!

    We should at least get a loan in for the season. Ralston is fine for the SPFL but if he got injured, * help us.

    At this stage the academy near enough is pointless.

    We haven't produced a decent player from it in years into the first team and any player that looks remotely promising is snapped up for £300k and driven down to England.

    And I'd be surprised if any of the current generation have what it takes based on what I've seen.

    Did that end at the Fenerbache game?

    You obviously weren’t the only one tbf, we played Tyler Blackett and Efe Ambrose at left back until KT could no longer be ignored

    Aye probably around then. I just thought he looked really * technically. All be had was endeavour. Loved to hoof it.

    He definitely had more about him than I realised (obviously).

    Probably not wrong with that opinion to be fair. That was still his weakness when he was good enough to fetch £25m fee.

    Seeing him so far this season, he still does the hoof, but he directs it for a run in behind and it’s more a choice now.

    I liked him before that game, and it was more who we were playing ahead that frustrated me. Then the Fenerbache game that performance, I realised he could be something far, far more than I’d thought already. I liked him because he loved a tackle before that
