It has to be said from the outset that writing about the performance of Hibs players this year was far easier and far more enjoyable than last year’s effort. What’s more remarkable that only seven of those who featured in last May’s edition (written before the ignominy of the playoffs defeat and therefore, far too lenient) […]

Let’s be honest, it would be extraordinarily fickle to describe Aberdeen’s season as anything other than an impressive success. To push the substantial resources, not to mention efficient ability, of Ronny Deila’s Celtic side so close for so long in the chase for the league title broke new ground in recent Aberdeen and Scottish football history.

GOALKEEPERS Zander Clark – 8 The St Johnstone loanee’s development this season has been massive. Despite being initially liked by the Queens support because he wasn’t Calum Antell, there were concerns about his aerial presence and often enjoying a dodgy punch or a flapped cross when it seemed easier to catch. A noticeable howler occurred in the […]

It’s not easy supporting Ross County. There was a sense of optimism going into the home fixture with St.Johnstone on the opening day after securing seventh place the season before. By January we had seen Derek Adams shown the door and his replacement, Jim McIntyre, struggling to see his ideas for the team implemented. I was […]

It has been awful. Just about everything relating to St Mirren’s season 2014/2015 has been nothing short of abysmal. From board level decision making, to player performances, even down to the worst playing kits in a generation – we can rejoice that the season has ended and that a new chapter can begin. Relegation had been […]

GOALKEEPERS Nicolas Caraux – 2 It’s been a difficult season for Nicolas with injury sidelining the French keeper for the majority. With rumours throughout linking the player away from Cappielow, manager Jim Duffy took matters into his own hands and decided not to renew the 24-year old’s contract. Derek Gaston – 10 Greenock Morton’s Player of the […]

For a season which started out shambolically, and threatened to descend into abject mediocrity before Christmas, Celtic have finished sitting fairly pretty. An obligatory league title was accompanied by a league cup, and somewhat miraculously, European football which stretched beyond the New Year. Ronny Deila’s Celtic side lurched out of the Champions League qualifiers twice […]

A top six finish, a Scotland call-up, a Player of the Year nominee and a derby victory; if I’d been offered that at the start of the season I’d have bitten off not just your hand but your entire arm. There’s a feeling that Paul Hartley is only just putting the building blocks in place […]

It’s definitely been a season of two halves for Dundee United. Up until the beginning of February we were riding high in the league, doing well in the cups and notching up results like the 6-2 Demolition Derby against our wee neighbours from across the street. Then a combination of selling Stuart Armstrong & Gary Mackay […]

If Raith Rovers 2014/15 season is to be summed up in one word, it would be ‘passable’. I’d also accept ‘mediocre’. A sixth place finish in a difficult league saw Raith finish nine points clear of seventh-placed Dumbarton and an exceedingly comfortable 16 points off the relegation play-off place. It also included a Scottish Cup Quarter […]
