    It’s just a shame we’re not debt free on the stadium & training ground, it would make these good times so much better.

    If we got the results from our last 7 league games (19 points) and the league Cup then that would be awesome. To me the Europa league is the least important match.

    Always find it a bit daft that in a country like Scotland, a month like December has so many games crammed into it.

    Aye, it’s so we can accommodate the Winter break tbf, which is essential for us, given the amount of games we’ve played with little break.

    We have a squad only the rest can dream about too.

    Yeah, I just think we should start the league season earlier, so more games can be played in better weather. Would be easier on a lot of fans' pockets too.

    It’s a tricky one, we need to try and attract Internationalists so with major tournaments in mind we need to try and stick to the European major league setups as much as possible. It’s not ideal with the amount of qualifiers we have now, but if we vary it too much it devalues a product that’s already quite a hard sell to the best young talent/established quality.

    That's a good point, and the qualifiers do make the start of the season fairly busy too. Though even if we put one or two league games in July, rather than August, would be better than *, wet, cold, games in December.

    Yeh I think the same maybe start of June or half way through would probably gets us a better deal with sky as we are offering football that fill their schedule where their usually isn't any means less a hectic schedule and finish still close to the other European leagues if it ends in April

    June is too early, even without World Cup and European Championships being taken into account. Players and staff will want and need a break.

    July would be fine though, in my opinion, as we've already started competitive football by then. We played three competitve games in July, all midweek games. Between our first competitive match in July and the start of August, there were three weekends. I don't think it would be unrealistic or detrimental to start the league a week or two earlier.

    During June and July you have euros and World Cup. Nobody would watch as there is already plenty of football. We would suffer from player losses, especially if Scotland qualify. It would also make the transfer window complex as it would be different to lots of Europe.

    Match fitness would be an issue when we reach the CL final though. ;)

    The away double header to the sheep and huns will definately test us.

    But were finally hitting form and playing with confidence.

    Tough month... but this group have done it before

    We’ll win them all except the Salzburg, think that will be a draw. Good timing having Broony, Ntcham and Leigh fit again.

    Think that's how it went in December 2016.

    We had a * load of games, won every domestic game and drew with Man City at their dump.
