    Aye, back in the old days all teams were reliant on scouts and then have them up for a trial maybe. The team with the best scouts generally had the better squad. It became self fulfilling. The team got better therefore better players played for them. Once the scouting network failed so did the team. I’ll guarantee that all the top teams will use all sorts of data now before deciding. Us on the other hand clearly didn’t.

    The manager said in his post match interview that next week's game is a 'must win'
    Am glad to hear him say that,draws are of very little use

    Watch the film Moneyball. They started using it in baseball and its one of the main reasons why Liverpool bought Jordan Henderson.

    It’s a canny film and it’s something we’ve been short on for years.

    won’t stop some of our fans complaining that we aren’t singing messi.

    Hibs striker a real possibility rangers keeping tabs on him and some championship clubs, we’ve asked how much, he’s interested , players will need to be shifted if it’s going to happen, QPR striker is another possibility,

    Few league 1 clubs Interested in DG, Dobson been told he’s unwanted , embleton been told to fight for his future, dan Neil probably out on loan and the young keeper, but that might depend on if burge is alright,

    Birmingham after Mcgeady

    lb is a possibility from Scotland,

    It would, but this is the ambition we need whether it comes off or not.

    We need to be a stepping stone for Scottish talent looking to progress in England and go the the PL.

    We used to have a tradition of signing good players from Scotland and we should definitely be looking.

    I have no idea if he’s any good or not, but I’d still put him straight in for Power as I don’t believe for a second he can be any worse.

    Would the fact he want to go the Euros favour us over Rangers? He’s not gonna displace moreiles regularly is he?
