Anybody got any news on the status of Leigh Griffiths, Tom Rogic, Mikey Johnstone.
It seems very quiet that 2 senior players and one prospect are not mentioned much, even on injury updates.
Any hope for LG and TR to return?

Lennon mentioned today that Rogic started full training this morning and that Griffiths isn’t far away from being involved in the team.
I think Mikey started light training a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks Buzz, I am especially pleased to hear about LG, he is a major goalscorer and both him and TR are great Skelpers,

LG trained with 1st team today. I'm sure you've all seen big duffy peg him.

Guys, I've said it a thousand times, if (and it's a big if) we can get Griff firing on all cylinders then he will outscore French Eddy. He is his own worst enemy, a flawed genius, but if he's prepared to play just one more tune then we'll do 10iar. HHH.

Besty. totally agree.

The SPFL have announced the St. Mirren game against Hibs will go ahead tomorrow.
St. Mirren have mentioned they will be without 3 goalkeepers for the game as a precaution.
I’d imagine St. Mirren will let their disapproval about the SPFL decision be known in the press up until Wednesday in the hope the Celtic game gets postponed.

According to my records, the following are out of contract at the tail-end of the current season:

Scott Brown
Alexander Okoflex
Karamoko Dembele
Kundai Benyu
Jack Aitchison
Liam Hughes.

It would be interesting to see who is left from the list above after the transfer market is closed if Daniel Church has been freed with a year to go on his contract.

benyu who is that. sarcasm.

Dan Church has probably thought it was time to move on,
When he can’t get on the bench with 9 subs and he is a left back.

Steno what's happeningwith okoflex mate? I thought he had somethingabout him. Also do you rate luca o'connel, do you think he will break through this season and do you think he could play lwb? Cheerz bud.

Not sure markie about Okoflex to be honest. There's not a lot of playing in the Development League and he can't play competitive games because of it. He's a pretty decent player anyway. Luca Connell will feature more this season once the league's wrapped up. Broony's contract is up at the end of this season and if 10's in the bag I can see him going into coaching. I can also see the likes of Calmac, Forrest and Christie wanting to test themselves elsewhere, so that's Turnbull, Connell and Soro waiting to take over.

A second St. Mirren player has tested positive for C.V. Their goalkeeper was already having to isolate.
I don’t know what will happen to our game on Wednesday now.
St. Mirren wouldn’t say anymore in their statement.

Can't postpone games every time a couple of players test positive BB or we'll never get the season finished. I think PSG had 7 players isolating last night and the game still went ahead. I know they have a far stronger squad but that didn't help them as they lost 1-0 with the likes of Naymar missing.

I didn’t realise PSG had a depleted side due to C.V.
I did notice they had a few star players missing but I thought it was due to them getting extra time off because of their CL exploits.
Two players isn’t much but if St. Mirren end up with seven players out,
I think the SPFL would postpone the game.

11 Sep 2020 10:10:19
they played the Scotland game so there is a precedent.

11 Sep 2020 11:53:30
Not really the same Tim, national teams have a raft of players to call up. I would think if st Mirren have 6-7 players out they would struggle to field a team never mind have subs.
