Surely a right back is the number one priority position? If Mcrorie is first chip ice, which remains to be seen, surely we aren't reliant on Sterling as back up? What if mcrorie was injured and we have to play on a plastic pitch? Just ask the other team if we can go 10v10? I'm guessing a first choice rb is coming.
Same on the other side where we don't even have a back up.

I totally agree with you. There are two positions that need obvious attention and that's rb and rw. We just lost one of the best right backs this club has ever seen, and McCrorie is not a replacement for him.
We've had about 2 or 3 quality right-wingers in the last decade. That position needs attention, desperately. That's where the bulk of the cash needs to be spent. On a match winning, game changing, right-winger.

For anyone going to the game tonight.
Enjoy!

It'll be a nice day for it.

Nobody has really spoke about where we as a squad are at. What do we think the squad will look like under mcinnes. Will he give some youth and has he already told the dross there not welcome in some way. So far not seeing any wide players mentioned so is he happy to a point with that?
22 Jul 2026 05:55:47
As a squad, I think we are mega short in quality in defence and wings. With the season starting next week, I can't say I'm fully feeling positive yet.
I don't think we have signed anyone you would say is a huge upgrade to date.
22 Jul 2026 07:18:13
Totally agree. Squad is threadbare, so no matter who's in charge, I wouldn't expect much from friendlies. We all need to sell players to buy, but apart from a select few, who is that really?
22 Jul 2026 07:39:28
If I'm being honest, 1st team squad looks ok if it can gel. Dragovic looks very dmc. Who is Tmagic in between? Better yet, magic and then apprentice. Like Gasssama to a point. R Kent, to most on here, prob stats wise. Like the look of Curtis, and it would b3 good to get an academy player firing outwith Ferguson.
22 Jul 2026 07:54:35
Gradouk, plenty time left, 43 days now, imagine you followed them, needing rakes of players signing nobody.
22 Jul 2026 08:15:05
I tend to agree, Dado, on the points of CBs and wing options.
There may be plenty of time left in the window, but real stuff is only 9 days away now. It takes time for players to bed in, etc.
We had a dreadful start to the campaign last year and fans have a right to feel concerned, not negative or be completely pessimistic but just concerned.
I think we have really good options in midfield and up top, our back 4 as it stands seems ok but I definitely think we still need a stand out cb in and cover at lb.
Wide areas is probably my biggest worry, now maybe Antman will be a different player, Curtis will be as good as everyone hopes and Gassama after a season here settles and knows the league and kicks on, but again I think in the wider area we need a player who we can hang our hats on and expect double figures for goals and assists.
We keep hearing about a big signing that will be a wow signing (feels like we hear that every year, tbh), hopefully that's a winger.
We've got another great opportunity to really push for this title, they've still got injuries, best players wanting to leave and next to no new faces in.
I 100% trust the manager/board/owner. Probably just a bit nervous, tbh, and really wanting things done quicker than it takes.
Looking forward to the game tonight.

I think he will build a team rather than 11 individuals. It has what he has done in the past so not too bothered with players not being considered a huge upgrade.
Our attack is same, we have more in MF who even if we down buy and sell will do well. Defence a bit light but Rommens and McCrorie at FB with Godfrey and Manny at CB isn't too bad really (on paper).
Then our keeper must be an upgrade on Butland with the way he was regularly rubbished.
Friendlies are for fitness and not results so not too bothered about how we do in those. Come the real thing I think he will have us ready.

Lundstram, give us a ludge honshake if your bombshell is on this list:
Leroy Sane
Hakim Ziyech (past it)
Almiron
Leon Bailey
Federico Chiesa
Still think it's all pie in the sky. Give us some clues, is he left footed, right footed, older, younger?
21 Jul 2026 23:45:44
Maybe a bit late to the party but what do we make of David Hopkin taking over as head of academy scouting?
Seems we headhunted him from Palace.
I don't know much about him except that he was a decent young headcoach, a while back.
22 Jul 2026 01:11:26
Good appointment mate. 👍 Doesn't take any messing about, but is fair. And has a good record of picking out players.
21 Jul 2026 22:31:55
Amario Cozier-Duberry
22 Jul 2026 00:25:06
Is He-Signed?
Why So-Cryptic?
Are We-Guessing?
Any Three-Words?
Or Names-only?
22 Jul 2026 01:25:28
We've been tracking him for months.
Would be some signing.
Would be a loan if we managed to persuade him to come.
Possibly option to buy.
Would be a scoop if it materialised!
22 Jul 2026 06:16:34
I posted about him early yesterday.
21 Jul 2026 21:43:07
Young Glasgow has scored for Alloa and they've taken Falkirk to xtra time.
👏
A Tod got two for Dunfermline too. Are we interested in bringing him in still?
