Was a really good game. Girona seem to go with 1 up front away from home and Abel Ruiz seems to be the one they go with for that role.

1st round draw made earlier. Ties to be played weekend of 28th September.

Looks like a race between Tribute Act and their Edinburgh cousins as to who will empty their manager first.

All that you can do is watch them play

Fantastic save by Mitov on the penalty.

Don’t think either the free kick or Rubi’s follow up crossed the line.

Think yellow was correct call as studs weren’t up and he was on ground. Poor first half and we have created little since McGrath went off. Would like to see Besuijen on.

Todays results. First round proper is drawn tomorrow.

Would think we will go with same starting XI as last week although I would be tempted to start Nisbet if he is up to speed. County have looked rotten the twice I have seen them and from what their fans are saying really weak wide. Think we should be looking at winning this comfortably. Another shit kick off time and our shite public transport system means I am missing another game. oot Edinburgh City v Peterhead flat for game on tv flat 3-0 Sokler x2 Nisbet

Bavidge to Ayr United confirmed. Decent move for him and should help him develop further.

First of the two second preliminary round ties were tonight. Bo’ness Athletic from the East of Scotland 2nd division beat West of Scotland Premier side Kilwinning Rangers 2-0 and East of Scotland Premier side Tynecastle beat Glasgow Uni of West of Scotland 3rd division side 4-0. Was at Meggetland for the Tynecastle game and it is a great stadium to watch football at and better than some league grounds.

Disagree that squad is stronger. Think first XI is strong but the cover is still pretty weak. However accept squad depth was never going to be sorted in one window.

Move to a Championship club would be great for him plus working with an Aberdeen legend.

With Nisbet, Sokler and probably Gueye all ahead of him I think Ambrose at 22 would benefit from going on loan to give him game time and get him used to the game here.

@OrlandoDon more bad news Mikey Johnston is not coming.

Scott McKenna playing for Las Palmas against Real Madrid just now. Ollie McBurnie with the assist to put Las Palmas 1-0 up.

Killie 1-1 now.

Killie 1-0 up at home to Copenhagen into 2nd half. Hearts still 0-0 with Plzen after 30 minutes. Neither side looked like scoring so far.

Miovski with an assist for Girona in their 3-0 win over Osasuna.

Would like at least one more wide player in this window and hopefully some the dross like Richardson moved on permanently. With Nisbet’s arrival think both Bavidage and Ambrose need to go out on loan to get game time.

8 in the U21 squad. Probably more accurate reflection of the performance schools. Would still expect it to produce more than third of squad.

Finished 2-1 Barcelona. Danii Olmo came on at half time and completely changed the game. Apparently Barcelona’s first win at Rayo since 2018.

Barcelona starting with 3 17 year olds in tonight’s game against Rayo Vallecano.

Gilmour is shown as coming through it. Sure Paterson did as well.

Did think that although I think the oldest lads for that programme will be 24 so maybe a bit unfair to be critical yet.
