A vacancy has appeared today - Head of Academy Coaching - which is Stuart’s current role so can only assume he is now officially in Leavy’s old role

Sevco are mince. Which was nice.

Aye he’s the only one trying to create anything but let down by a toothless Dundee frontline

Dreadful game. Zero fitba on show, it’s like watching us. 2 shite teams.

Peter Martin. But, he is a prick of a man, that much is true.

Burrows is clearly trying to infer that the club wanted Jimmy this time last year but Elfsborg played hardball (as they did this year too, but Dave pushed harder - more dosh chucked, in reality) But we all can guess that the club shat it when Robson went on that great run, and mistakenly thought the fans would revolt if he wasn’t given the gig

Check back 12 months son, the evidence is there in terms of who was for Robson’s appointment and who wasn’t.

Watching the Alan Burrows interview just now, regarding the Thelin appointment. We knew that he was interviewed last year, when Robson ended up horrendously being appointed but getting the impression that Thelin was the preferred candidate then too, but Elfsborg dug their heels in, as they continued to do so this year. Or am in being naive, and the FMB picked Robson over him? 3 year contract

The problem with Shinnie (and I agree with you) is that he’s on £7k a week, till summer 2026. He’s not getting that dough anywhere else, so going to be an expensive redundancy package he’ll be entitled to. Regarding the rest, all depends on how much dosh Jimmy is given to reshape the squad. I suspect irrespective of that, it’s going to take him 3 or 4 windows to totally readjust the squad. If he’s playing 433, then the full back areas might be more pressing a need than the centre backs, this summer. No way will Devlin fit the profile although he’ll probably get kept on for cover

How much notice did Colin give Dave? The day he arrived?

The type of appointment that should have been made when Darek left. The only downside to this appointment - “Jimmy looks forward to working with Dave, Alan and STEVEN”. Gunner still hanging around…

Imagine Jim McLean managing in Sweden?

Correct, and McLeish was struggling with an ankle injury all week, which probably stopped him getting in ahead of Stench to the heeder that opened the scoring. Can blame Smithy as much as you like but I don’t think we were ever winning that game; the establishment decided rangers were winning that game come what May.

Oscar Hiljemark is finished in AaB, where he sends the Swedish head coach to Elfsborg. He said goodbye to the playing squad in the 1st division club at the weekend and is expected to be presented in Sweden within the next day.

Announcement tomorrow, seems to be what certain journos are saying.
