Predictable result but we are poor anyway despite what our media tell us
A hard luck story in the play offs is still the likely end outcome |

Playing without a striker doesn't help. Fletcher is awful!!

Can't believe football is starting again shortly.
Aberdeen beat TNS behind closed doors at the weekend and have a friendly against Brechin tonight. We have a tough draw in Europe, the first round should be straight forward especially as the away match has been moved to Skopke and away from an utter hell hole full of psycho's. Rijeka will be very hard, they knocked Stuttgart out in 2013/14 and last season they beat Feyenoord and drew with eventual champions Seville in the group stages. They sold their best striker for £9 million earlier this year, hopefully he's not been replaced yet.

You have wee teams like borussia Dortmund and atletico Bilbao joining in the third qualifying round

Good to luck to yourselves St Johnstone and Inverness but you can't see any of you make much progress in it.

Hopefully the end for Clangers (and Brown) at Aberdeen.
It seems we are signing 22 y/o Danny Ward from Liverpool on a years loan, hasn't played for them yet but was on their bench 20 odd times last season and just signed a new 5 year contract with them this week. No idea if he is any good but big clubs don't tend to hand out 5 year deals to guy's in their 20's unless they are pretty decent. Kenny McLean's had a few months to get up to speed with us now. Shinnie is excellent and Paul Quinn's a capable centre half. Also got a young striker from Man City signed for a couple of years. I'm very happy with our dealings at the moment, also pleased that Ryan Jack is our new captain. |

On one have you a player a team want to keep on, on the other he has only played 6 senior games at the age of 22. |

He must have compromising pictures of the Chairman's wife or something. |

We've had numerous keepers in the last 10 years and he has seen them all off, just shows how bad they all must have been. ![]() Mark Howard, Stuart Nelson, Bertie Bossu, David Gonzalez, Jason Brown, Derek Soutar, Scott Brown. Clangers is Zoff'esque compared to that lot.

I have a feeling he may be released after his testimonial next month.

I'm watching Celtic's friendly just now. Den Bosch have barely been out their own half so far.
2-0 just now, GMS with both goals. |

Hopefully GMS finds his way to the Scotland squad this season but I wouldn't bank on it

That was a good work out tonight.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Buddies were happy about that Celtic club shop sign. What was with the Albania scarves in the home end tonight? Is that club from an area where many see themselves as Albanian as opposed to Macedonian? |

That will come soon though. |

Celtic sell Adam Matthews to Sunderland for £2m - not bad for someone who started well but faded as injuries became more frequent.

Celtic sign Ciftci from its feeder club.
Whether he'll become a player worthy of the no.7 Jersey is another thing. |
