Some meaningless information, but hopefully something that will get you through the next two months without any football. Shinnie and McCrorie both refused to applaud during the guard of honour. Ends.

Just back from the game. Here's what I wrote the last time we played at Celtic Park, will save me a writing a few paragraphs. Why the hell did we set up with the same system that got torn apart last time we were at Celtic Park? At least in the grand scheme of things it didn't mean much. But Barry Robson just last week said the 5-0 defeat to Hearts wouldn't ever happen on his watch. Now fair enough he maybe just meant Hearts wouldn't hammer us again, but that's a 9-0 aggregate loss to Celtic on his watch.

He played less than 30 minutes in games against the Celtic and St Mirren and was honking in both. Since then, he's managed another 30 minute cameo against Hibs in a mildly disappointing game, before disappearing. At no point did he look like he had a bit about him. Honestly Rico min.. No I just saw some Twitter chat from Chesterfield fans. But why? At no point has he looked anything other than hopeless. Shame Liverpool didn't make the Champions League, as we could have made a strong case to get Ramsay back on loan to help him get fit. But I imagine they'll play a young team in the Europa League, which will include him.

Callum Roberts to Chesterfield possibly. Also noticeable he's been allowed to leave the squad before the end of the season. Shame. Could have been handy off the bench at Anfield in the Europa League.

Richard Foster? Back to the drawing board on the Donstalk end of season party then.

On Clarkson, the club have teased a full interview with him on RedTV next week. He won't be an Aberdeen player next week, so it's either an emotional goodbye interview and "I'll always remember you" piece. Or coinciding with the announcement of a permanent move.

Yeh I'd take him, although if Goodwin gets appointed permanently there he may not be receptive to dealing with his old club. But maybe those above him will make the decision for him. Levitt isn't going to get in the Welsh squad playing in the Championship. £400k and a sell on clause is worth it I'd say. Clarkson and Levitt in the same team would be Booth and Jess levels of class. Yes I said it, I'm standing by it. I know you've been orchestrating McCrorie's transfer so you could get Devlin in the door for some time, but McCrorie was playing at centre half for most of the season. I think he's leaving a year too soon - would have had his best season next year under Robson imo. But lo accettiamo e andiamo avanti.

I wonder if Jay Gorter will be on loan again next season. Clearly been some issue there will illness or injury since he's not even been in the squad (although, oddly, still played for Holland at whatever age level he's at with them). But wonder if Ajax will send him out for another season.

Not long back from the game. Clarkson might just be one of my favourite ever Aberdeen players. Just love watching him. Him, Shinnie and Duk in the same team, we're spoiled. Miovski has actually improved so much over the season and a real shame to see him injured. He's posted on Instagram saying it's not broken but needs a scan on his ligaments. Nice to see Joe Lewis get a good ovation at the end.

Rangers was sold out min. Big one under the lights, can't wait. A draw doesn't do St Mirren much good so they'll come and have a go. It'll be a great game, and one we'll win.

Yes I'd sign Scales. Decent player who could still improve. Clarkson - reckon we sell Pittodrie and use the money to sign him. Roberts - there's a player in there I reckon.

Well over 30. About 29 of them you saying he was pish, two of which you posted before the poor lad was even born. You also called Duk gash here, something I hope you've had time to reflect on and seek guidance to improve yourself as a person.

I actually searched for Roberts' name on this forum, and 90% of the posts are you attacking him. Do you and him have previous beef? I thought he showed promising signs, but we've never really had a chance to see more of him. But people's opinions early on of players were skewed. For example, in the opening day match thread, everyone gushed over how great Anthony Stewart was.

Don't be childish. You can surely work out why fans wouldn't want to welcome back a player who is quite happy to mock them previously. Jesus Yeh let's just make stuff up to help our argument.

Early on in the season he looked like he had a bit about him before all the injuries.

That the same Scott Wright who ran past the Aberdeen fans at Hampden laughing and gesturing after their goal? No thanks.

Roberts could be a player though if we can actually get him fit. I think this summer we probably won't have the same recruitment strategy of overloading the right hand side with wingers, not signing defenders, and then playing a 4-5-1 where we didn't actually need any of those wingers. Thanks Jim Goodwin.

He chased everything, was helping us get up the park, and gave their full-backs something to think about. On two occasions he made a poor cut back though and that was the real let down. He's a young player who has barely played, I thought he did okay. Think Richardson only played because Coulson called off the morning of the game. He probably would have started otherwise.

Second half same story as the first, totally lost the midfield battle, Shinnie and McCrorie big misses. Barron and Ramadani were poor. In the end we just bypassed midfield and went long down the sides. Morris did well when he came on. Duncan was okay. Clarkson, Pollok and Roos our best players.

Need to get a grip of midfield. Hearts are driving through it far too easily, while Oda & Ginnelly causing all sorts of problems on the wing. Back line and goalkeeper defending well enough though, and the long balls to Miovski and Watkins causing problems. Not much we can do about Ginnelly's goal, some strike to be fair.

Oh dear. Won't let me edit it either. For the tape, I don't think Watkins does a line before coming off the bench. Well not all the time at least.

No Duk or McCrorie. Big game for Watkins. He's a player I like, but coking off the bench for cameos and starting a big game are two different things. Might not get 90 minutes out of him but need a strong hour anyway. Richardson and Barron too under the microscope.

Absolutely, however the fact he's now a full international who has spent a year in the Portuguese top flight, and has three years still on his contract, means he'll likely be way out of our price range.

I'm just happy for @RicoS321
