Marshall’s contract expires in June and he is now free to talk to other teams. I suspect we will not see him in an Aberdeen shirt now.

Very possibly but still unsettling time at club and always chance new manager might not like him.

Us and a good few others I suspect.

Not a great start for him as manager who signed him has been fired.

I heard that they offered Dundee Tom McIntyre on loan as part of that deal but Dundee are looking for eye watering fee.

I thought he was coming on to a game in last 6 weeks and while not looking like a player you would spend £1.5m on he was one of our better players (very low bar admittedly) and one who I would have kept if the deal could have been renegotiated.

I just assumed no transfer fee being paid meant for the entire deal but suppose it could mean we gave up our option for free rather than being bought out.

So a player we had negotiated a £1.5m buy out option on 6 months ago now joining Schalke on a free. Our recruitment team needs emptied.

2-0 Boca now after long VAR check to award a penalty. Game probably over now.

Looks like they have split the league into two groups of 15. Everyone plays everyone plus one game against a rival from the other group. Then top 8 from each group play off in knock out phase to produce Apertura champion. They then have a break for World Cup and then repeat for Clausura. Sounds over complicated to me.

Bit sedate this one by South American standards. Hardly any wild tackles. 1-0 Boca just before half time.

Boca Juniors v Newells Old Boys on Premier Sports 2 now.

Scott Burns saying we are still looking to bring in defenders.

Brazilian Super cup on Premier Sports 2 just now.
