The top two places are of course, going to be filled by the bigot brothers, so lets have a nice thread for fans of the other clubs to discuss the season as it progresses.

Im a St. Mirren fan and have been absolutely delighted with our pre season signings, without doubt the best quality we have had in probably 25 years. Signings in have been Steven Thompson (Burnley), Gary Teale (Sheff Wed), Graham Carey (Celtic), Nigel Hassielbank (Hamilton), Paul McGowan (Celtic), Graeme Smith (St Johnstone) and shortly Jeroen Tesselaar (Telstar, Holland).

I believe we now have the team capable of top 6, but it really depends if our manager is up to scratch, a bit of internal strife with the assistant, Ian Jenkins leaving this week.

Season starts a week on Saturday, not long to go!

I've actually been reasonably impressed by the signings as well this summer, strengthening Hearts decently with the signings of Jamie Hamill, John Sutton, Mehdi Taouil and Danny Grainger. Slightly disappointed that Craig Thomson left in terms of footballing potential but it was pretty unavoidable after his behaviour. Overall I'm fairly positive about the season to come, I am however awaiting to see how Romanov can screw it up, I've got every faith that he'll find some way.

Did I hear that Kyle was coming back early too?

I cant see Kyle and Sutton ever working together as a partnership, but Sutton does go in and out of form a wee bit.

Was Thomson actually any good?
